voices for the secondary characters. This upbeat, dramatic story of overcoming odds is a

day-brightener listeners shouldn't overlook."AudioFile



"This book is the inspirational story of the power of art to change lives. Gardner's reading is just as

inspirationalhe even gets sound effects into the story. After listening to Flying Colors, you will

never see a person in a wheelchair in quite the same way."KLIATT



When Tim Lefens walked into the Matheny School in New Jersey to show slides of his paintings, his

one-hour visit became a life-changing experience. The students he met had severe physical challenges:

only one of them could talk, none could walk, and all lacked the use of their hands. As a painter facing

his own gradual loss of eyesight, Tim had come to fully appreciate the power of art, and he was

determined to enable the students to paint despite their physical limitations.



Lefens created breakthrough techniques for these students that gave full, exacting control of the creative

process for such remarkable young artists as Natalia with her brash wit, the brooding Mike with his

Harley-Davidson hat, the mischievous Chet, the passionate cowgirl Cindy, and Angel, the volcanic Latino.



Flying Colors, an immensely inspiring story about leaping over obstacles, reveals the passion and

determination of one man, his student-artists, and their emergence together from a virtual silence to luminous

expression.



Tim Lefens is the founder of A.R.T. (Artistic Realization Techniques) and lives in Belle Mead, New Jersey.

BBC radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923 when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play. generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.

This radio version of Coriolanus captures the dramatic battles and speeches as the valiant but elitist soldier Coriolanus fights to win glory for Rome and keep power away from the city's masses. Susannah York plays his strong-willed mother, whose warrior feelings have found fruition in the mighty Coriolanus and who, in the end is the only one who can save Rome from her son's vengeance.

The play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre.

Revitalised, original and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.
