Article Abstract:

A dramatic performance can be very dull if it contains no humorous elements, according to comedian Griff Rhys Jones. He first became extensively involved in drama at Cambridge University, when he was part of a group which had a number of members who went on to become household names.

Article Abstract:

Irvine Walsh, an author who has gained cult status among young people in the UK through his novel 'Trainspotting,' appeared recently at The End, a fashionable rave club in London, England.

Article Abstract:

Sarah Keays, who had an 11-year affair with former Conservative minister Cecil Parkinson, has for some time been a cause of embarrassment to the UK Conservative party. She published her memoirs in 1985, and her views have received extensive media coverage. Most recently, she has published her first novel, 'The Black Book.' This deals with political scandal, including drug-taking and paedophilia among politicians.
