A map by any other name

Rscmap1072_4 Via Going Underground blog (whose title is Tu be or not Tu be, pretty good, eh?) you can see, and indeed buy, various products based on this latest in a venerable line of London non-underground maps at the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) website.

Here is a link to the RSC press release explaining the rationale for the map. "The lines include: lovers (red), mothers (pink), fathers and daughters (green), villains (light blue), heroes (dark blue), strong and difficult women (turquoise), warriors (black) and fools (orange). Interesting intersections include Henry V who meets on the warrior and hero line, and Lady Macbeth on the strong and difficult women and warrior line."

No stop on the villain line for Lady Macbeth? Alas, poor Hamlet could probably not make up his mind which line he ought to be on since he, universal soul that he is, belongs on all.

A Half Life of One is (nearly) born Link: View From The Pundy House: On becoming a publisher. Petrona's favourite one-man publishing revolution, Bill Liversidge, is seeking advice (above) about marketing his about-to-be-published book, A Half Life of One. I am going to buy and read this book when it comes out (my copy is reserved). I am sure it will be good, based on following View from the Pundy House for the past year or two. If any of Petrona's readers have experience of self-publishing and author marketing (and I think one or two of you do), please do head on over to the Pundy House at the link above, and drop Bill a comment. While you are there, take a look around his blog, and you'll see what I mean about the signs being propitious. (Don't get sidetracked into too many wild parties in the comments while you are there. You have been warned.)

Equiano comes to Kingston "A new play performed by the award-winning MeWe Youth Theatre. Written and directed by Ann-Marie Olufuwa, this enjoyable new work is based on the life of Olaudah Equiano who wrote a celebrated autobiography detailing his life in captivity and his fight to become a free man. Olaudah became an inspirational figure in London in the movement to abolish the slave trade. Adventurous, informative and uplifting! The performance lasts 1 hour ten minutes, followed by a short panel discussion with distinguished guests." Date: Thursday 25 October 2007 Time: Matinee 2pm; Evening 7.30pm Location: Arthur Cotterell Theatre, Kingston College, Kingston Hall Road, Kingston KT1 2AQ Website; Email; Phone: 020 8547 5409. If you can't get there but are interested in the topic, I strongly recommend that you do not watch the movie Amazing Grace, now out on DVD (as I did recently, in the mistaken idea that it would be an interesting and educational family experience): it is among the worst films I've seen. The first scene involves Wilberforce seeing from his coach window two men beating a horse. He gets out and tells them to stop. One is about to attack him when the other says "Hang on, Jim [or whatever],...
