Ladies and gentlemen! Let us present the romantic tenor; the couthy comedian; the speciality act and the equilibrist - a real Concert Party! In its halycon days variety theatre was part of the social life blood of the country. But in the shadow of the enemy - the technological wonder of the talkies - only the bravest or saddest of performers are left reading the boards; in cine-variety.The death throes of one of Scotlands most popular entertainments are chronicled in this world premiere of a new play by Scots playwright Douglas Maxwell; the traditions brought briefly back to pulsating life. Variety was a co-production between Grid Iron Theatre Company and the Edinburgh International Festival.

To this day; we still mourn in my home; for that wonderful dog. Then along comes this book: "The Tao of Maggie" that I purchased as a birthday gift for my wife.WOOF !!!You dont have to own; or even be anywhere near a Basset Hound; to enjoy the words pictures found in this amazing little book! Bill Stanton; the author-photographer; and owner of Maggie; the Basset; knows his subject so very well! The wisdom and wit; that you are going to find in this book; more than make the purchase price seem very low; indeed! And; the images of Maggie; make this even better still.This book will heal you; it has done wonders in my home!FIVE STARS !!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Wonderful; Charming Book of Basset Wisdom!By Kitty KatI just received this book as a gift for a basset-loving friend. It was barely out of the box and I had gone through the whole book!
