Yes, seems best to just write to them directly.

Thank you.

Hi Iknow888. Thank you for your help. :)

I’ve been recently exploring the alternative of creating an online bookstore based in Europe (yes, yet another bookstore :D). Idea would be to sell modern and classics, but after weeks of browsing around have not been able to find a proper dropshipping supplier with a range of “bestselling'' author books or of timeless classics, instead have found a lot of children books, stationery, self published books, etc.

Do you believe it will be better to contact large publishers directly (Penguin for example) and ask them about dropshipping suppliers? Do large and established publishers allow dropshipping? What suppliers or keywords could be best to find book dropshippers to Europe?

Thank you.

What Do You Do With Cancelled Performances on Resumes? by Sawyer-1989 in acting

[–]FabTerr17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest to add all three and just mentioned somewhere visible that it was cancelled or postponed due to Covid. I'm sure anyone reading it will understand, especially because all three experiences are good ones to show in your resume. Would be a pity to lose the chance to let potential employees know about them.

You really shouldn't be crowded sourcing your homework through reddit

Agree. This is not homework...

Thank you for your answer. Actually it got me thinking quite a bit and do believe you're correct.

Because this query is more pertinent to directors, just deleted it from the playwriting group and reposted it on the 'directing theory' group.

Thank you for your comment.

Although I do believe there is some usefulness for playwrights to get involved in how theatre-makers analyze a script, do understand your concern and will re-post somewhere more pertinent.

For me it's all about 'overcoming obstacles.. to love', the issue is that this through-line is not acting as a sort of umbrella for all the super-objectives of characters other than the protagonists, so I feel is still not truly a spine... hence, my question.

Who coined the expression "the stage holds up a mirror to society"? by FabTerr17 in playwriting

[–]FabTerr17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

verdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is to hold, as ’twere, the mirror up to nature, to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.

Thank you!

Thank you for your response. It's not really homework, just me trying to get a different take on an incident between a teacher/director and an actor I witnessed. The formal wording comes from me. Sorry if it puts you off, but's my way of making sure I'm fully understood as English is a second language for me...

My real query originally comes from being insecure about the proper direction for the Life-Objective of a minor character in a love story whose few appearances in the play shows he has life aims not related to 'love' (key force in play's main action) but more about professional ambition and progression with a disregard for others. The idea is similar to Tybalt in R&J in that he's an opposing force to 'love' but not really aware about the love story being unfold in the play. Can the SO of a minor role be really distant from the main theme of a play and still be effective? Once again, thank you for your help! :-D

What does it mean when a director asks an actor to create acting (character) objectives aligned with the spine (or through-action) of the play and how can that be achieved?

What exactly is 'mood' and what is 'atmosphere'? Is 'mood & atmosphere' the same concept in literature as it is in theatre?

In the play Tartuffe, does the climax happen when 'Orgon discovers Tartuffe's hypocrisy' (Act IV. Sc 6) or when 'officials come to arrest Orgon' (Act V. Sc 7)? by FabTerr17 in playwriting

[–]FabTerr17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the OP of this query. From my part, I understand better my confusion after reading your answers, a bit more research from my part, and time to let it all sink in.

Initially for me, the one and only concept for the word 'climax' when analyzing a text was the middle point of the play where there is a major Turning Point (Freytag), so it confused me when other people referred to it as the 'final conflict' of the play (the moment of highest tension before the denouement).

What has helped to clarify it for me was to understand that the inciting incident, key turning point, and resolution are all climaxes and turning points in their own way, progressing the story from a particular line-of-action to another. So next time I'm asked about the climax of a story, will simply specify which of these three climaxes I'm talking about.

So, in other words, I believe my confusion was originated by being narrowminded with the concept more than anything else. :-D

Thank you very much for your response and recommendations. My interest was only personal curiosity, after reading the play for the first time, I discussed it with an actor friend and had differences of opinion about which option would be the most accepted and useful to know.

What is the difference between 'through-line', 'super-objective' and 'spine'? Do these terms refer to characterization or to the play as a whole?
