Sandi Toksvig Knihy

Jak se chovat, to je podobné jako umění dělat v řeči pauzy – dnes nás už to nikdo neučí, a podle toho také naše společnost vypadá. Ve snaze pomoci nám vyhnout se nepříjemným trapasům, autorka shromáždila sumu rad, jak se chovat v moderním světě: postihuje situace, kdy bychom nejraději zabili někoho, kde vedle nás sedí u stolu při slavnostní večeři, a doplňuje znalosti o tom, proč například plivání vyšlo z módy. Tato kniha jednak pobaví, ale hlavně přinese užitek všem, kdo plánují se narodit, zemřít, a mezitím žít někde jinde než na opuštěném ostrově. Oceňovaná britská rozhlasová moderátorka nám přináší řešení ošemetných situací, které mohou nastat v různých fázích života – od křtů novorozence až po kondolenci k úmrtí. K tomu dodává, jak se dobré mravy vyvíjely v průběhu staletí, od nejstarších étiquettes (malých kartiček, které měly lidem u královského dvora připomínat, jak se chovat) až po znalce na Twitteru. Svým nezaměnitelným vtipem a s pomocí vlastních nepřeberných zážitků autorka vytvořila praktickou etiketu pro 21. století.

How unbelievably dull my life was. I did everything I was supposed to. I was such a good girl. I lived in the house he chose and cleaned a dead woman's furniture. I bought hats, who the hell wears a hat? And all the time I wanted to scream because I was so bored. On one dark and stormy night in the upper day room of the Silver Retirement Home, five elderly women are trading stories of their remarkable (or sometimes unremarkable) lives. With the storm floods rising and no rescue team in sight, the ladies are faced with the sudden realisation that in order to survive they are going to have to do what they have done for their entire lives – do it themselves! Silver Lining is a hilarious comedy by Sandi Toksvig. It tells the tale of a group of extraordinary yet forgotten women, who come together one treacherous night to recreate The Great Escape – senior-citizen style. It received its world premiere at the Rose Theatre, Kingston, on 3 February 2017 in a production by English Touring Theatre and Rose Theatre, Kingston.
