Kind hearts are cold killers
Article Abstract:
Robert Hamer's 1949 film 'Kind Hearts and Coronets' was loosely based on the 1907 novel 'Israel Rank' by Roy Horniman, but differs in a number of significant ways from the novel. Most significantly, the hero of the novel is haunted by guilt, but this element does not feature at all in the film. The film was subject to strict censorship, and this also made it further removed from the novel. A stage version of the film is now being performed at the Palace Theatre in Watford, England. This has been produced by Giles Croft, who has combined dark and humorous elements.

Goodbye to the gingham set
Article Abstract:
It is possible to develop music for dance without being sacrilegious, according to choreographer Susan Stroman. She visualized music from a very early age, and has been dancing all her life. She sees dance as an affirmation of life, and has gained a strong reputation for her commitment to theatre. Her most recent project has involved collaborating with Trevor Nunn in a new production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical 'Oklahoma!.'

Edinburgh: a survival guide
Article Abstract:
The 1999 Edinburgh Festival offers an extremely wide range of attractions. Inevitably, the quality of the performances will vary considerably. It is worth spending some time studying the free Edinburgh Fringe Programme and the International Festival Guide and booking early for performances that are likely to attract large audiences. It is worth taking advice from other festival-goers about the most interesting performances.
