'To Bathe in Eden's Glory' by Christopher Cass (Copyhouse Press, 2015) has already been dubbed 'The Greatest Novel Ever Written About the Great War' by observers. Cass' epic has been compared to the work of - among others - Ernest Hemingway and Sebastian Faulkes. Now it has won expert plaudits for its realistic depictions of trench warfare - no surprise, given that the novel reflects the author's lifetime's obsession with, and an acknowledged expertise in, the history of the First World War. Copyhouse Press are pleased to reveal that they have had the novel assessed by a professional historian. The expert, who carried out the assessment under conditions of strict anonymity imposed by the norms of academic peer review, is a member of the UK's Royal Historical Society and is an acknowledged expert on the period up to and including the First World War era. According to the expert's report, Cass writes with an authority which is 'indistinguishable from that of a professional historian who specialises in the Great War' while the war poetry, inspired by real examples but penned by Cass himself 'has an authentic feel.' The expert reviewer was 'convinced that Cass had enjoyed privileged access to genuine unpublished material by an unknown soldier-poet' and spent a significant period of time double-checking to ensure that this wasn't the case. Regarding the actual scenes in the trenches, the expert described them as 'astonishing - the most accurate depiction of trench warfare in fiction. Cass has penned the most realistic portrayal of trench warfare in a novel ever. It is a masterclass of factual accuracy transformed to the pages of a literary piece. It passes every imaginable test for determining historical accuracy in a creative milieu - and does so with flying colours.' 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. Copyhouse Press Ltd is based in London and is a provider of premium publishing services.

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.

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.
