Verbatim Theatre. Verbatim Theatre first fascinated me in September 2014 when I went to watch ‘Little Revolution’ by Alecky Blythe at The Almeida Theatre, a play constructed of interviews concerning the 2011 London Riots. I instantly felt a connection to this play as the London Riots happened very close to my home and so I was captivated to hear the raw emotion and authenticity coming from the actors, who were imitating real-life people’s words and utterances in real time.

Queen Elizabeth I was queen from 1558 until her death in 1603, marking the Elizabethan Era.  Her father was King Henry VIII, who ruled from 1509 until his death in 1547, and was succeeded

The view of Richard II as an effeminate king is one that to the present day has remained intact. Continuously placed alongside Edward II, particularly in the study of William Shakespeare’s history plays, the feminized portrait of this king is one of staunch endurance, despite the challenges of academics such as Fletcher, who states that the descriptions of Richard in contemporary texts were, “consistently misunderstood.” For Nigel Saul, a recent biographer of Richard II, this treatment of the tragic

appropriate reactions when they feel uncomfortable or out of control of a situation. Smith expresses this idea in the interview titled “Lousy Language” beginning with the speaker, Robert Sherman, explaining in a very politically correct manner that “the Crown Heights conflict had been brewing on and off for twenty years” (73). He went on to provide statistics and define the concepts of racism, prejudice, and discrimination. He concluded with the statement “I think we [Americans] have sort of a lousy language

Britain. The colonist of the US were discontent with the treatment they were receiving from the crown in England. They were being brutally taxed by the King, but had no representation in Parliament at all. The King enacted many taxes on every day materials such as tea, newspaper, and sugar, that Englishman in the mother-country would never be taxed on.

But Peter also had a dark side, he was a cruel and tyrannical ruler, he imposed high taxes which often led to riots. Peter also was an excessive drinker and he had violent tendencies. Peter is heavily credited with bringing Russia out of a medieval state and by his death Russia was considered ahead in the technology industry. In 1700, the head of the church, Patriach

Violence in America Beginning with the urban drug wars and the Rodney King riot all the way up the spectacular lynchings in Texas and Wyoming, and now the mass murder/terrorist strike by teenagers in their own high school, the 90s is a decade made numb by civil disorder. In between came the incidents at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and Waco, Texas, involving dubious law enforcement assaults on separatists, which led to the terrorist bombing at Oklahoma City — the single worst terrorist act in American

The Jewish population was as a possession of the king and a great source of income for the crown rather than as people. As Legas Edwardi Confessoris put it in Henry I’s reign ‘Jews and all their property are the King’s.’ and their economic accomplishments made them targets. However, citizens would not have entirely resented Jews position in the
