Beauty and Her Beastly Love


Book Description

Sheltered Beauty yearns for love. Captive Beast seeks redemption. Trapped in an enchanted manor together, will they find in each other their hearts’ desires? In this grown-up version of Beauty and the Beast, we meet Beauty, a sheltered young woman living in the French countryside with her father. The books her tutor secretly gives her provide the only escape from her cloistered life. Engraved with a beautiful rose, each book breathlessly describes the ways in which men and women lust for and love each other. Beast is a tortured soul trapped in an enchanted manor for the sins of his past. He wants nothing more than redemption. A second chance. When a hapless traveler stumbles upon Beast’s home and attempts to steal one of the library’s rose-covered books, Beast is intrigued. Even more so when the groveling man tells him he only wanted the book for his daughter, who loves to read them. Beast then does the unthinkable: demands the daughter in exchange for the man’s life. Amazingly, the father complies. Beauty is cool to Beast when she arrives, despondent over being trapped with a vile creature, and no hope of knowing the types of passionate, heart-pounding love she’s read about in her books. Beast feels desolate when he realizes that proximity to a woman of passion will not help him atone. He fears all is lost. But a glimmer of kindness can spark passion. Will Beauty and Beast find exactly what they wanted is right in front of them? If you enjoy re-imagined fairy tales, red-hot love scenes, and happily ever afters, then you will love Beauty and Her Beastly Love.

Transforming Space Over Time


Book Description

Transforming Space over Time tells the stories of six diverse productions: five on Broadway and one Off Broadway. Tony Award–winning set designer Beowulf Boritt begins with the moment he was offered each job and takes readers through the conceptual development of a set, the challenges of its physical creation, and the intense process of readying it for the stage. Theater is at heart a collaborative art form, and Boritt shares revealing details of his work with the many professionals—directors, designers, technicians, producers, stage managers, and actors—who contribute their talent and ideas to each show. Included here are extensive conversations with theater legends James Lapine, Kenny Leon, Hal Prince, Susan Stroman, Jerry Zaks, and Stephen Sondheim, explaining how their different approaches to theater help to shape the vision for a set and best practices for creative collaboration.

Full of indispensable advice for aspiring and seasoned professionals, and with plenty of entertaining and enlightening anecdotes to engage passionate theatergoers, Transforming Space over Time peels back the curtain and illuminates the artistry and craft of professional theatrical production—and particularly the all-important collaboration of designers and directors.
