Описание:
Nominated for Tony Award, Best Play
"Illuminating, enlivening, a sheer joy." James Christopher, Time Out
"Sharp characterization and magical theatricality." John Peter, The London Times
"Containing statements like 'American actors for America ' and the ugly sounds of a nationalist riot, the play holds a disturbing mirror up to a world where fundamentalist bigotry is on the increase... It is Nelson's achievement to have done this through a drama that is also quite exhilarating." Paul Taylor, The Independent
"This is a must for theatre lovers; or as the actor sitting next to me put it, 'Now I know why theatre has me by the throat.' Precisely " Liz Gilbey, What's On
"Mr Nelson's work is partly about the glorious chaos of play-making but also chases much bigger themes. On one level, his play is about theatre as a metaphor for post-colonial arrogance... On another level, it is about the power and mystery of acting itself." Michael Billington, The Guardian

Nominated for Olivier Award, Best Comedy
"Behind Nelson's] play lurks the daunting question of what we actually go to drama for. What, he asks, is its value if it doesn't modify and affect our behavior? ...Behind Mr Nelson's very good jokes reminiscent of an American David Lodge] lies a real fear that we increasingly divorce art from life and treat culture as something devoured rather than digested." Michael Billington, The Guardian
"Funny and thought provoking...leaves one hungry for me." Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph
"A delight." Paul Taylor, The Independent
"A gripping evening. The humor is based on genuine insight, and while the characters talks a lot, the unspoken tensions tend to be even sharper than the spoken ones. There are some painful moments and some oddly moving ones... But comedy wins out in the end..." John Gross, Sunday Telegraph

Описание:
Olivier Award, Best Play
"Nelson's great virtue is that he asks hard questions about the emotional priorities of people who've missed out on their childhoods, poignantly charting the outer boundaries of affection and the disparity between the human craving for love and the human ability to give it." Kate Straiton, Time Out
"Upsettingly engrossing." Louise Kingsley, What's On
"I have long believed Nelson to be among the greatest dramatists of his generation...there is a remarkable kind of poetry here..." Sheridan Morley, The Spectator

Описание:
Subtitled "A Comedy of Trans-Atlantic Manners." An Englishman and his family live far-flung across the vast American continent. Brought together by tragedy, they find comfort in attacking their adopted country, ridiculing its crude ways and lack of standards. Humor and irony as well as the sense of loss and longing permeate this story of exiles unable to address a world that is passing by.
"This dark comedy begins, quite literally, with a bang: A man sitting in the book-lined den of his Connecticut farmhouse puts a revolver to his head and, as his girlfriend, Alice, walks into the room, pulls the trigger (done with startlingly bloody effect). Next 85 of the play's 90 minutes detail a gathering of the clan as the man's adult children, among others, argue away a tension-packed night on the eve of the memorial service. Hosting this often-nasty get-together of British expatriates is Alice, the suicide's middle-aged mistress who two years prior had given up a successful publishing career in New York for a country life shared with a man she slowly realizes she never really knew...witty, acerbic banter." Greg Evans, Variety
"NEW ENGLAND, played without intermission, is bold in its form: the climax comes in the first scene. The next seven scenes are an extended coda, not so much to Harry's life as to the British-American culture gap and to a world made orderly by distinctions of class and education...a work of intelligence and wit." Vincent Canby, The New York Times

Since the early 1980s, universities in the United States have greatly expanded their patenting and licensing activities. The Congressional Joint Economic Committee, among other authorities, have argued that this surge contributed to the economic boom of the 1990s. And, many observers have attributed this trend to the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. Using quantitative analysis and detailed case studies, this book tests that conventional wisdom and assesses the effects of the Act, examining the diverse channels through which commercialization has occurred over the 20th century and since the passage of the Act.
