The Greatest Shows on Earth: World Theatre from Peter Brook to the Sydney Olympics
No full textThe Greatest Shows on Earth is a book about fourteen theatre events from a dozen countries. From Peter Brook’s King Lear of 1962 through to the 2010 Oberammergau Passionsspiele, chapters explore work by Jan Lauwers and Needcompany, Robert Lepage, Silviu Purcărete, David Edgar and the Royal Shakespeare Company, Third World Bunfight, Peter Sellars, John Adams, Pilgrim and Tg STAN, alongside exceptional work from Bali, Portugal, Ireland, Germany and the Sydney Olympics Opening Event.
The book’s chapters are written in different ways and from different perspectives, by international actors, directors, playwrights, academics, dramaturgs, dancers and artists, all of whom give themselves over here to the challenge of describing in print that which existed in time and space and most significantly, within specific contexts. This is not as obvious an element of writing about theatre as it may at first appear. Library shelves are heavy with the weight of books written about productions never seen by the authors and whilst this form of more distanced and usually historical scholarship is undoubtedly valuable it is not what The Greatest Shows on Earth is about.
What binds the chapters together is a belief that meaning is about personal interpretation rather than collective understanding; and that whilst the liveness of theatre disappears in a moment, spectatorship can translate into documentation that adds something to a work’s value, even as so much else of value can never be captured in words. In wrestling with ephemerality and memory, The Greatest Shows on Earth does more than make a case for what makes certain theatre ‘great’, it offers examples of writing about theatre that imbue analysis with emotion and documentation with the type of engagement that is usually edited out rather than invited in

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Ted Freeman and the battle for the injured brain: a case history of professional prejudice
No full textThis book recounts some experiences of young Australians with catastrophic brain injuries, their families and the medical system which they encountered. Whilst most of the events described occurred two to three decades ago they raise questions relevant to contemporary medical practice.The patients whose stories are told were deemed to be ‘unsuitable for rehabilitation’ and their early placement in nursing homes was recommended. In 2013, it is time to acknowledge that the adage of ‘one size fits all’ has no place in rehabilitation in response to severe brain injury. Domiciliary rehabilitation, when practicable, may be optimal with the alternative of slow stream rehabilitation designed to facilitate re-entry into the community.Patients’ families were impelled to undertake heroic carers’ commitments as a reaction to nihilistic medical prognoses. It is time for the Australian health care system to acknowledge those commitments, and the budgetary burden which they lift from the system by providing family members with support to retrieve career opportunities, most notably in education and employment, which have been foregone in caring.Medical attendants repeatedly issued negative prognoses which were often confounded by the patient’s long term progress. Hopefully, those undertaking the acute care of young people with severe brain injury will strive to acquire an open mind and recognise that a prognosis based on a snapshot observation of the patient, without any longer term contact provides a flawed basis for a prognosis. The story of these patients and of Dr Ted Freeman has wider implications
