Cody Roche ist nicht nur jünger, agiler und bescheidener als Wayne McLair, seine Weste weist auch die exakt richtige Zahl an Knöpfen auf. Die Zusammenarbeit der beiden droht zu kippen, doch gilt es, ein gemeinsames Ziel zu verfolgen: die Goldreserven der Roten Schlange! Um der neuen La Zorra zu helfen, muss das Team ausgerechnet in die Höhle des Löwen ... in das Büro des Superintendents der DMP!

Kenichi Zenimura–known as “Zeni”–loved baseball. As a young man in the 1920s he developed a Nisei baseball league in Fresno, California, and later organized barnstorming tours that brought the likes of Babe Ruth to the West Coast and Japan. And despite being sent to a Japanese-American internment camp in Arizona during World War II, he knew that somehow, baseball would be the key to improving the lives of his fellow detainees.

The Boy Who Shouted “Wolf!” But There Wasn’t a Wolf and Other Fables brings together more of Geoffrey Thomas’s short stories, each brimming with the big-heartedness, warmth and homespun humor that he is known for. From both the ancient and modern world, Geoffrey Thomas introduces a host of extraordinary characters in his fantastical tales based on Aesop’s fables: a slave escapes death in the lion’s den; a donkey and a dog compete for attention; the sun and the wind battle to see who’s stronger.

Der Autor gestaltet in Form einer Reportage einen Prozess, der vor der Seprema Corte in Rom vom 03.06.1947-10.06.1947 gegen den des Hochverrats angeklagten Grafen Giulio Riccardi stattfand. Es ist, wie es in den einführenden Worten des Gerichtsreporters heißt, ein Prozess, der alle angeht, die gezwungen sind, in einer Diktatur zu leben. Riccardi hat in seiner Amtszeit ein gefährliches Doppelspiel gespielt.

Das Stück schildert, wie eine königliche Familie nach langen Jahren der Trennung auf wundersame Weise wiedervereint wird. Der Titel spielt offensichtlich auf den märchenhaften Charakter des gesamten Dramengeschehens an. Er unterstreicht aber auch die im Stück durch Struktur und Bildersprache entwickelten Analogien zwischen der Dynamik des menschlichen Schicksals und dem Zyklus der Jahreszeiten.

Die Welt hat Wayne McLair vergessen - so zumindest verkünden es die Zeitungen. Zu viele Abenteuer fanden im Verborgenen statt, sehr zum Leidwesen des Gentlemangauners. Dieser ersinnt einen neuen Plan, das aufbrausende Inspectorchen O'Neill nach allen Regeln der Kunst an der Nase herumzuführen. Womit der Meisterdieb jedoch nicht gerechnet hat, ist die recht eindringliche Aufforderung O'Neills an McLairs falsche Identität Liam W. Craney, dem Raubzug als Berater beizuwohnen. Eine Zwickmühle?

Rübezahl, der Beschützer des Riesengebirges, verliebt sich in die Magd Rosa und nähert sich ihr in unterschiedlichen Gestalten. Die Baronin von Harrant nutzt die Unaufmerksamkeit des verliebten Geistes, um einen niederträchtigen Plan umzusetzen. Ihre Absicht ist, nicht nur die Wälder, sondern auch Rübezahls Goldschätze im Berg zu plündern. Sie erpresst Rosa, indem sie deren Mutter verhaften lässt, und entlockt ihr das Geheimnis, wie sie den Berg öffnen kann. Als Rübezahl das Komplott durchschaut, ist es schon fast zu spät.

Graf Thurso von Bethlenfalva und sein Sekretär Bátor Hegy reisen in die düstere Einsamkeit der Karpaten, um die Vorfälle auf Schloss Csejthe zu untersuchen. Was sie über das grausame Treiben der Gräfin Erzsébet Bathory herausfinden, wird alles verändern. Und im Jahre 1997 eröffnet der Jules Verne Forscher Piero Gondolo della Riva eine Pressekonferenz mit einer Sensationsmeldung, doch es soll anders kommen, als erwartet. Und auch auf Lesser Hill muss sich der Hausherr mit einer schrecklichen Wahrheit auseinandersetzen.

Jesus didn't see a sick woman, he saw a daughter of God. He didn't see an outcast from society, he saw a child of Israel. He didn't see a sinner, he saw a person in the image of the Creator. Are we able to see others with the eyes of Jesus? Seeing rightly is the beginning of renewal, forgiveness, healing and grace. Seeing rightly, says Mark Labberton, is the beginning of how our hearts are changed. Through careful self-examination in the Spirit, we begin to bear the fruit of love toward others that can make a difference.

The most urgent call upon God?s people is to live as followers of Jesus. The most indicting critique against the church is as simple: its failure to do so. We long to renew our hope for a world broken and hurting. And it is we, God's people living in the power of the Holy Spirit, who are called to become this hope and flourish while in exile. Here is the crisis: we are made and redeemed for this calling, but it slides through our fingers.
