SUMMARY:Smut: An Unseemly Story (The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson)
DESCRIPTION:One of England’s finest and most loved writers\, Alan Bennett\, explores the uncomfortable and tragicomic gap between people’s public appearance and their private desires in this tender and surprising story. In The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson\, a recently bereaved widow finds interesting ways to supplement her income by performing as a patient for medical students\, and renting out her spare room. Quiet\, middle-class\, and middle-aged\, Mrs. Donaldson will soon discover that she rather enjoys role-play at the hospital\, and the irregular and startling entertainment provided by her tenants.A master storyteller dissects a very English form of secrecy with this story of the unexpected in otherwise apparently ordinary lives.  Directed by Amy Kossow.

SUMMARY:Alan Fleishman
DESCRIPTION:Local author Alan Fleisman shares his new work of historical fiction\, Odyssey of Chaos: And Other Stories. With the Gestapo pounding on every door\, no Jew in Athens is safe. At the start of Odyssey of Chaos\, Theo Kantos\, a dress shop owner\, has a desperate choice to make if he is to save his family. Does he trust the most despicable man he knows to hide them? Or does he place the lives of those he loves in the hands of a communist? And what does he do about his obsti-nate brother who always has to have the last word? Nearly 90% of Greece’s Jews perished in the Holocaust\, the highest percentage lost in any country. Odyssey of Chaos was inspired by the true story of the author’s Greek cousins who survived hidden in a cellar by a shepherd. Other cousins joined the partisan resistance. And others died in Auschwitz. Six contemporary stories follow the title novella. All are about dramatic events and choices that alter the course of lives and form who we are.
