...that might be the next big thing, but the question has arisen of who really wrote Shakespeare in Love. The London press pointed out last week that the screenplay of that very palpable hit has remarkable similarities to the plot of No Bed for Bacon, a 1941 novel by Caryl Brahms and S.J. Simon. A spokesman for Miramax, the film's distributor, could only respond, "Nothing is truly original. Shakespeare borrowed and adapted plots himself." To borrow (a bad habit) from T.S. Eliot, "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal...
...chatting," says Marber. In fact they barely know one another. What really seems to bind these playwrights together, from the perspective of an outsider, is the absence from their work of any overt political agenda. These are not issue or idea plays (like, say, David Hare's Plenty or Caryl Churchill's Top Girls), though they speak seriously to a contemporary audience and reflect the world their authors see around them. The lost children in Shopping, the vomiting drug users and underage "rent boys" that Ravenhill depicts with such clear-eyed intelligence, are not there to chastise or shock...
...Davidson was surveying his flattened home with a sick heart, searching for some sign of his family, when he saw his wife Virginia a few hundred feet up the street.

For its first album, released in 1990 by Pro Arte, the group (with slightly different membership) posed in black cocktail dresses, an image the quartet now wants to downplay. "We were not happy with that picture," says Paisner, who founded the group in 1988. "We thought it was a little too sexy, although it succeeded in getting attention. But people were inclined...
...sophisticated argument taking place behind this parody; it was a kind of "meta-editorial," if you will. He also failed to recognize that my parody was an embodiment of the laughter of the Bakhtinian carnivalesque, a laughter which observes few limits (as Bakhtin scholars Gary Saul Morson and Caryl Emerson have pointed out). In fact, this irreverent Bakhtinian laughter is what our good friends Beavis and Butthead draw on so liberally...
