Caravan of dreams Theater Vol.1 Vol.1: The first three texts in the collected works span the world's literature. The epic of Gilgamesh -- created in the Sumerian cradle of civilization -- is the earliest story we know, yet contains the deepest question man can ask: `How can I transcend death?' The story of Marouf the Cobbler is an oriental tale taken from the works of Sir Richard Burton, the great Victorian explorer, and is dedicated to the genius of that world-renowned story-teller, Scheherzade. Goethe's `Faust' needs no introduction. The translation of Part One in this collection is pungent and unusual. The Caravan of Dreams Touring Theater - also known as the "Theater of All Possibilities" - was founded in 1967 by director Kathelin Gray, and dramaturge Johnny Dolphin. There are TWO volumes of plays from their repetoire: Gilgamesh Cover Design by Bertold

Vol.2: In contrast with the first volume, the second is devoted to new mythologies and social forces. The three plays explore three American archetypal pursuits of happiness: the glory of the lone individual, the glamour of Hollywood and the magic lure of Space. The Caravan of Dreams Touring Theater -- also known as the `Theater of All Possibilities' -- was founded in 1967 by Director, Kathelin Hoffman, and dramaturge, Johnny Dolphin. Exercising the ensemble spirit of the Commedia Dell'arte and the Globe theater, it is a theater of ideas and energies that aims to stretch the boundaries of theatrical performance. It explores human intentions rather than reactions towards the making of history; in this way continuing the reach of Shakespeare, Goethe and Brecht. Johnny Dolphin (see above) has made his own versions of some of the greatest stories of the world, as well as creating new myths and images of our own age, for use by the Theater of All Possibilties in their performances. Billy the Kid The folk hero BILLY THE KID defies the controls of a stagnant order- and the system strikes back, predictably, until a modern day 'Billy' cuts up and renews the myth so the hero can live to fight another day. The America of Hollywood and glamour, illusion and image runs head-on into the America of idealist seekers after freedom and significance in the comedy of METAL WOMAN. Can everyone get what they want? In America--maybe! The TIN CAN MAN shakes, rattles
and rolls searching every dead-end alley and winds up on the threshold
of the post-nihilist space age, disillusioned with every tried prescription
for meaning, looking for the new frontier in which to "build a
world closer to our hearts' desire". ISBN 0 907791 02 6 * PAPERBACK * 152 PGS |

Gerald Wilde 1905-1986 edited by Chili Hawes, Director, The October Gallery, London This is the first retrospective publication devoted to the British abstract expressionist artist, Gerald Wilde. For the first time, it is possible to survey examples of his work from all his periods. After being sadly neglected during his life - in spite of the admiration felt for him by fellow artists - he is being given his rightful place. The only abstract expressionist who emerged in England, he was a pioneer in painting technique. His early work is full of scenes of the London life he saw with great intensity. For many people, he was inextricably linked with Gulley Jimson, the painter-genius of Joyce Cary's novel. In his last period, he was producing the most remarkable images of ideas as if seeing their energy directly. This book contains twenty-eight color plates revealing the quintessence of Wilde's art as well as forty-six illustrations. The book has an Introduction by David Sylvester which gives testament to Wilde's genius. There are essays by William Feaver, Flash Allen (aka Marie Harding), and Corinna MacNeice, all of whom knew him in his last years and have helped in the mounting of major exhibitions of his work.
