Actors' Theatre Of South Carolina julian Green s family were from Savannah and moved to Paris where he was born in She has performed as a pianist, actress and cheerleader, on the local, http://www.actorstheatreofsc.org/south.html
Extractions: A newly discovered play, "SOUTH", by world-class author, Julian Green, will be premiered in Savannah at the Lucas Theatre, September 17,18,19. And at the Sottile Theatre in Charleston on Oct. 8, 9,10. The play was written in Paris in 1953. It is set on a plantation near Charleston on April 11, 1861, the night before the Civil War began in Charleston Harbor. Julian Green's family were from Savannah and moved to Paris where he was born in 1900. His work is highly acclaimed throughout Europe. The Actors' Theatre of South Carolina is the producer of the play, starring theatre, film and television veterans, Clarence Felder and Chris Weatherhead, along with professional actors, Trevor Erickson, as the Polish Union Lieutenant and Christina Rhodes as the Bostonian niece of the plantation owner, supported by a professional cast. Mr. Green's ability to capture a fresh view of the chaotic period and its people in plays and novels has garnered rave reviews in many countries. His novel, The Distant Lands, brought the following acclaim from The Sunday Independent; "The writing, characterization and sensitivity all combine to foreshadow the doom of the elegant, aristocratic South in this epic and wonderful novel." And another critic penned for the Booklist, "a compelling drama of the 1850's SouthGreen's opus is a delicious immersion into time and place, stylish and fluid, with an abundance of characters who attract with their humanness." In SOUTH, he masterfully evokes compelling romance within an entire culture sinking into war and destruction. It was premiered in England in 1955 to enormous praise, directed by Sir Peter Hall, starring Denholm Elliott. Film actress, Anouk Amee starred in the Parisian premiere.
The Flying Lizards - Articles - Melody Maker, 1980 a pianist and songwriter who was about to tour Europe with Marshall Hain. I used julian for the first time on Money , Cunningham admits, http://home.netcom.com/~logan5/melodymaker1980.html
Extractions: Looking for a strategy to get you through the coming hard times, break some images and make some money? Steve Taylor talks to The Flying Lizards' David Cunningham, who reckons he might just have the answer to all three. Hi doomsters! Just as we thought that idealism might be toughening itself up after the pathetic delusions which wafted through the turn of the last decade to immobilize the soporific Seventies, everyone's going soft on us, turning into neurotic soothsayers. Just when it's of desperate necessity to find out what is going on and harness the power that a little understanding of problems can fuel, we're awash with low rent future gazing, private visions of economic nemesis and social collapse that allow almost everything happening here and now to be summarily written-off as so much Nero-like fiddling. A commendable conservation of brain power and quaint; very, very Seventies. Or, you might hedge your bets on the current crisis on late capitalism, rather than revolutionary, just for a awhile longer. Things then begin to look very different; as much as gaping cracks in the old edifice stare you in the face, the germs of newer forms of organization begin to sprout. It is even possible to see popular music and its inseparable economic base in such a light, as the polarizing, confrontational ethics of punk yield a more thought out, perhaps compromised, but paradoxically tougher set of attitudes and practices.
