The Greatest War Novel About the Greatest War - Third Edition of 'To Bathe in Eden's Glory' by Christopher Cass is Released
by Robert Diamond - Nov 1, 2015
Copyhouse Press is proud to announce the publication of the eagerly awaited Third Edition of "To Bathe in Eden's Glory" by Christopher Cass.
This new edition comes during a period of national reflection on the centenary of the Great War and contains some of the most realistic portrayals of trench warfare ever committed to the pages of a work of fiction.
The story follows the fortunes of childhood sweethearts Richard Bowden and Laura Scott not just through the course of the war but also as they chart other battlefields as equally cruel, perplexing and deadly.
Social prejudice, women's suffrage, moral complexity, Zeppelin raids, conscription and the hardships and emotions of home combine with the horror, futility and camaraderie of the trenches into a superb saga of the First World War.
Christopher Cass is the pen name of musician and producer Chris Baker. Educated at Chelmsford Grammar School, at 18 Chris chose the road over university and spent the next 30 years combining a playing career with production and the business side of music. Once described by Melody Maker as a 'studio guru', he lectured on music business studies at MBS (London) during the late '80s and has written for a number of magazines and periodicals. 'To Bathe In Eden's Glory' is Chris's first novel and reflects a lifetime's obsession with the First World War.
The novel has been assessed by a member of the Royal Historical Society and has been passed as historically accurate in both the depictions of the trench warfare and in its portrayal of the rich social and cultural fabric of the times. It will appeal to lovers of history, romance and the tragedy of the Great War.
It is available to pre-order now and goes on release on November 1st 2015, bearing a completely redesigned cover - simple yet elegant - which evokes the camaraderie, pathos, horror and tragedy of war, as well as the romance which runs through the tale.

Uptown Players Presents Premiere of ART AND SCIENCE, 5/30 - 6/15
by Jillian Gaier - May 16, 2014
Uptown Players is thrilled to announce the premiere of Art and Science, written by James Wesley. This production runs May 30 through June 15, 2014, in Frank's Place at the Kalita Humphreys Theater.
In Art and Science, Adam visits his former elderly voice teacher, Robert, to discover he's had a stroke and is partially paralyzed. In spite of Adam's urging, Robert refuses to go to the hospital and seek medical attention because he's a Christian Scientist. Reluctantly, Adam feels he has no choice but to stay and try to help Robert, who is feeling more and more effects from the stroke. As the play unfolds, they both learn about and address their long-held resentments towards each other and struggle to find acceptance. At times quite funny and ultimately moving, Art and Science is based on a real-life event that happened between the playwright and his elderly voice teacher.
