La traición en la amistad, es la única comedia de Zayas, escrita en verso. Se trata de una historia de amor y engaño; los personajes principales son: Fenisa, Marcia, Belisa, Laura, Gerardo, Juan y Liseo. La complicidad entre los personajes femeninos es uno de los ejes de la trama y, entre ellos, Fenisa es la principal catalizadora de los conflictos.

En ellos las historias son contadas por mujeres y se refieren a éstas desde una perspectiva femenina. Zayas denuncia los abusos perpetrados contra las mujeres en la sociedad de la España del siglo XVII...

"Its essence remains, but it inhabits a different realm and must, like a transposed piece of music, conform to a different set of rules….To have someone as devoted and as gifted as Mira reinvent my novel…has been a humbling and thrilling passage." Mira Nair's essay, "Photographs as Inspiration," begins with the provocative comment: "If it weren't for photography, I wouldn't be a filmmaker." She explains how photographs help her crystallize the visual style of her films and which particular photos influenced her vision for The Namesake.These two essays, written exclusively for this Newmarket Pictorial Moviebook, introduce an amazing panoply of images of peo..

Outrageous, bawdy, extremely funny - "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" the sitcom starring Kathy Burke and James Dreyus as mismatched flatmates Linda and Tom, who bitch at each other, fight over men, and lead sad deluded lives. They trade vulgar, non-PC insults and bicker endlessly, but the pair are secretly fond of each other and would never dare admit that they are in fact the best of friends. The series first hit the television screen in 1998 and soon acquired a cult comedy status, moving from post-watershed BBC2 to mainstream BBC. Now the scripts from the first three series have been collected into this one volume. Also included are profiles of the main characters, Linda and Tom's funniest and most memorable lines, and a guide to their world (including the batty neighbours and Linda's lust for Liam Gallagher). Writer Jonathan Harvey reveals the world of "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" in all of Linda's day-go glory...
