Four short plays drawing on Shakespeare''s works and our modern-day use of them.In ''Twenty-Minute Tragedy'', minor cast members take over a production of Timon of Athens and lead it in a new direction.''Sprite Fight'' takes place backstage at a production of A Midsummer Night''s Dream, in the aftermath of a confrontation among the sprites.In ''A Shakespearean Fragment'', a shady fixer is trying to negotiate the sale of a fragment of something that was once precious to The Bard.''Loosely Titus'' presents Titus Andronicus as a game show, with ''33 onstage deaths, three hands cut off, and a really interesting cooking lesson.''The plays work together to make a fascinating evening of theatre, or can be performed separately in programs with other plays.

Dark deeds at the Spa Springs Hotel in Nova Scotia in the 1880s echo down the decades, bringing out the worst and the best in people high and low.Mr. Leeson allows he wanted "to have blurred the line be-tween fact and fiction", and he''s done so wonderfully. There are characters to care for living vivid lives in a wholly believable historic Annapolis Valley. The local drama and colour are set credibly against a broader and changing world. I thoroughly enjoyed this time between the lines.Don Connolly, former host, CBC Information MorningAnyone who thinks Nova Scotia history is boring should read The Secret of the Spring. Sometimes touching, some-times violent, this family saga demonstrates the full spectrum of human nature. Garry Leeson brings a colourful past to life.Wendy Elliott, Valley Journal Advertiser columnistThe Secret of the Spring reveals the extraordinary secrets hidden in ordinary lives-fragile, then lost and forgotten in a generational blink of an eye.  Blurring fact and fiction and capturing the quirks and cadence of a vanishing rural Nova Scotia, Garry Leeson has spun an intricate tale which rings clearly and resonates long after the book''s been finished. Mike Bienstock, Rural Delivery

With self-deprecating humour and keen observational insights, Ben Robicheau tells the tale of life on Brier Island, Nova Scotia, in the middle of the twentieth century. He roams with us from the comic-book section of his father''s store, to the destruction of an outhouse, from the tiny village movie theatre to where kids went and what they did when their parents told them to go outside and play." You''ll find here a cavalcade of childhood scrapes and near-disasters, foolish fun, and serious moments when lives are in peril.Ben also writes loving portraits of the Island postmistress, telephone operator, lighthouse keeper, and some cherished eccentrics. Family photos from across the decades help us peer into this time when the people of Brier Island, two ferry rides away from anywhere, made a living and a community.
