The trick is to survive
Article Abstract:
Playwright Bernard Kops does not believe that he should be cutting down on his many activities as he becomes older. He has a very strong survival instinct, which he attributes to his background as a Dutch Jew during the second world war. He identifies with minorities, and over recent years has undertaken several projects with gypsies. His play 'Dreams of Anne Frank' opened in London, England, on Jul 29, 1997, and his stage play 'Playing Sinatra' is being converted into a film.

Darling of Drury Lane
Article Abstract:
Actor, playwright and composer Ivor Novello dominated the world of theatre in the UK from the 1920s to the beginning of the 1950s. However, there is now very little public awareness of his work. Novello enthusiasts believe that it is now time to revive his work, in line with the current trend for new productions of old musicals. It seems very likely that young audiences will be attracted to the melodies, repressed sexuality, male beauty and romance of Novello's musicals.
