A Note from Molly ::
These items are either recent reads which I thoroughly enjoyed, all-time favorites which are frequently discussed in classes & workshops and/or even the admitted guilty pleasure.  If you have a favorite which you think I'd love, please leave me a note on the Message Board.  I'm always looking for a good read or a great film.  I haven't had a chance to get all my favorites on here yet, but, in time, I will.  Here's a start.  

Here are some materials from my show, A Most Notorious Woman, so naturally, they are on my favorites list. 

Therefore, one of my favorite books is: Granuaile: Ireland's Pirate Queen - The Book, 1530-1603  - by Anne Chambers.  It is the source material for my play, A Most Notorious Woman.  [Link is coming, please check back soon, in the meantime, you can purchase it by clicking on the amazon icon to the right.]

Two of my favorite CD's are also here and we'd love for you to buy them.  [Martin's CD image links to his site but Shaun Davey's will be updated shortly to link to amazon.  In the meantime, use the amazon link to the right to purchase the CD's, DVD's or books at this site.]

The Artist's Date Book:
A Companion Volume to the Artist's Way
By Julie Cameron
This is a recent read which I found to be a great guide for "filling up the well", which my regular students will hear me say frequently and which most actors consider a luxury they for which they don't have the time. Take the time, give yourself a gift, refill the well so it doesn't run dry when you least expect it.  

The Apartment
This is an all-time favorite in which I find the essential elements of great drama.  You'll hear me refer to it in terms of dramatic structure and negotiation.  

Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring
[Platinum Series Extended DVD]
This was a gift from my husband and while I'm not sure if it might be a guilty pleasure, I also find it to be an excellent film of some of my most dearly beloved books. I never thought it could be done, but Director Peter Jackson reached right into my imagination and put it on the screen. The extended scenes on this 4 DVD set are terrific and I love all of the insider notes on how the film was made.  I grew to admire Peter Jackson immensely while scouring through the fabulous hours of extra materials.
