Rosamonde: A Verdadeira História De A Bela Adormecida
by Christopher BunnRosamonde é uma nova versão humorística da antiga história de A Bela Adormecida, contada pela perspectiva de primeira pessoa da própria princesa. Ambientada em um país fictício da Europa Central na época de 1800, a história também envolve as atenções amorosas indesejáveis de um príncipe de um país vizinho (e muito maior), determinado a se casar e também conquistar o pequeno país da princesa.
Rosamunda. La vera storia della Bella Addormentata
by Christopher Bunn Silvia BeghelliNon è mai stata raccontata la vera storia della Bella Addormentata. Almeno, non fino ad ora. Rosamunda è la recalcitrante principessa di Bordavia, un piccolo e pacifico paese dell'Europa centrale. La vita è perfettamente soddisfacente, fino all'arrivo di un principe invadente, completo di un pallone ad aria calda e romantiche mire alla mano di Rosamunda. Come può reagire una ragazza? Con maiali, trucchi, audacia, e ovviamente una cospicua dose di pisolini.
Rosaura a un fantôme
by Miguel Campion« Katarsis » est un groupe de théâtre amateur (pour le décrire de manière positive) qui survit grâce à des subventions et d’autres aides temporelles. La chef et directrice, Beatriz, a toujours des propositions artistiques risquées en tête, mais cette fois, le groupe termine par produire une œuvre classique du « Siglo de oro » espagnol, présentée au club des retraités du village. Tout va complétement changer lorsque Rosaura apparaît. Elle va leur offrir un chèque généreux pour la production de « La vie est Sainte », la pièce que sa mère avait écrit avant de mourir, qui ne vas pas reposer en paix jusqu’à ne pas voir son œuvre représentée sur scène. Même si ce texte n’est qu’une version de l’œuvre initiale avec des rythmes absurdes créés par charcutière qui n’est plus vivante (l’argent n’a pas d’odeur), ils décident d’accepter. Ils n’ont aucune idée de ce qui les attend : Rosaura exige de participer comme actrice sur scène. Ses compétences comme actrice sont pires que celles des autres acteurs, qui ne sont pas très doués non plus, mais ce qui est plus grave, c’est que Rosaura ne vient pas seule. Des problèmes, de l’ambition, de l’infidélité, des ruptures amoureuses, de la mauvaise foi, de l’absurdité, des délires et des apparitions fantasmagoriques vont se succéder lorsque l’on témoigne la dégradation et dissolution d’une compagnie de théâtre médiocre. Miguel Campion a présenté l’an 2000 sa première pièce de théâtre, « Rosaura a un fantôme », et a gagné cette année-là le premier prix du Certamen de Teatro Joven de Navarra.
Rosaura has a ghost
by Miguel Campion Dominic Zugai“Katarsis” is an amateur theatre group (to put it as kindly as possible) that just gets by on subsidies and whatever else they can get their hands on. Their leader and director, Beatrice, harbours grand plans to put on ambitious works of theatrical art, but they always end up putting on another classical piece for the retirees' theatre club in their local area. When Rosaura comes into their lives they believe everything is going to change when she offers them a juicy cheque to perform “Life is Sacred”, written by her dead mother who cannot rest in peace until the play is performed. While the text is a hackneyed pastiche of the Spanish Golden Age with absurd rhymes written by a bitter old lady who made her career in a sausage factory, the money wins out and they decide to perform the piece. Little did they suspect that Rosaura would then demand to perform a role in the play. Not only is she a poor actor with no experience, but she also brings some baggage. Quarrels, ambitions, infidelities, back stabbings, absurdities, ravings and ghostly apparitions abound as we witness the final decadence of a mediocre theatre company. This play debuted in Pamplona on the 8th of April, 2000, in the Escuela Navarra de Teatro. The production by the Xahutondo Theatre Group was extremely well received and was awarded first prize in the Navarra Youth Theatre Awards for that year.

Roseannearchy
by Roseanne BarrBESTSELLING AUTHOR AND TELEVISION STAR ROSEANNE BARR IS BACK--WITH A VENGEANCE--AND THE RESULT IS ROSEANNEARCHY. Roseanne Barr is a force of nature. Whether taking the sitcom world by storm, challenging accepted social norms, or battling the wild pigs inhabiting her nut farm in Hawaii, she is not to be trifled with. In this return to the printed page, Roseanne unleashes her razor-sharp observations on hypocrisy, hubris, and self-perpetuating institutions of questionable value--as well as menopause, pharmaceuticals, and her grandkids. And she's as controversial, original, and funny as ever. Raised half-Jewish, half-Mormon, and 100 percent misfit, Roseanne made a deal with Satan early on as the price she paid for stardom. But now she's looking to refinance the loan of her soul--this book represents her final exorcism of fame. Displaying her brilliance and sharp wit, Roseanne discusses the humor of everyday life with musings on more serious topics, such as class warfare, feminism, the cult of celebrity, and Kabbalah. Bold, brash, and insightful, Roseannearchy shows that she can still skewer any subject under the sun and why The New York Times describes her appeal as "the power of a whole planet, pulling everything around it inexorably into its orbit."
