Set in Washington, DC, in 1865, the play is about Laura Keene, the British-born stage actress whose company was performing Tom Taylor¿s Our American Cousin at Ford¿s Theatre the night Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth. In classic Charles Busch fashion, Our Leading Lady is a backstage comedy in which a presidential assassination is not merely a national tragedy but also a vexing interruption in a powerful woman¿s quest for fame and glory. Imagine the collision of the Civil War era with Noises Off.

The definitive biography of movie executive and philanthropist Sherry Lansing traces her groundbreaking journey to become the first female head of a major motion picture studio, sharing behind-the-scenes tales from movie sets and Hollywood boardrooms. When Sherry Lansing became the first woman ever to be named president of a major studio, the news ricocheted around the world. That was just the beginning of an extraordinary run that saw her head two studios, make hundreds of films, produce classic pictures such as Fatal Attraction and rule for twenty-five years as the most powerful woman Hollywood has ever known. Award-winning writer Stephen Galloway takes us behind the scenes of Lansing's epic journey—inside the battles; up close with the stars; and into the heart of a creative world populated by the likes of Meryl Streep, Steven Spielberg, Jane Fonda, Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise. He shows us the velvet touch that masked the iron hand, and the roller-coaster drama behind such movies as Titanic, Forrest Gump, Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan. Above all, he takes us into the mind of Lansing, creating a revealing portrait of a dynamic, driven woman who overcame unimaginable odds, pushed boundaries and left Hollywood at the peak of her power to achieve the life she wanted.

A poignant, deliciously anecdotal account of a talented artist's Oz-like journey in the worlds of Off-Broadway, Broadway, and Hollywood The Tony Award-nominated writer of The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife and the long-running hit Off-Broadway play Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, and a Sundance Festival award winner, Charles Busch has created a unique place in the entertainment world as a playwright, LGBT icon, drag actor, director, and cabaret performer, with his extraordinary gift for both connecting with and channeling the leading ladies of show business. In wonderfully readable chapters, by turns comic and moving, Charles writes how ever since his mother's death when he was seven, he has sought out surrogate mothers in his life. In his teens, Charles moved to Park Avenue in Manhattan to live with his Auntie Mame-like Aunt Lil, who encouraged and nourished Charles’ talents and dreams, and eventually he discovered his gifts for writing plays and performing as a male actress. Busch also shares his colorful and sometimes outlandish interactions with film and theatrical luminaries including the hilarious comedian Joan Rivers (who became a mother figure to Charles after Aunt Lil’s death), Angela Lansbury (who attended her first Passover seder with Charles), Rosie O’Donnell, Claudette Colbert, Valerie Harper, Kim Novak, and many others. Full of both humor and heart and featuring rare photos, Leading Lady is for readers of entertainment books as well as anyone who enjoys real-life stories of artists who break the mold, ditch the boundaries, and find their own unique way to sparkle.

Rebellious film director Andie McKenzie is offered career redemption when her father hands off his latest big-budget action movie to her. There’s just one catch—the film has already been cast, and Andie is less than impressed with the film’s leading lady. Down-to-earth actress Skye Buckley is thrilled to have landed the role of her dreams, even if she’s heard some not-so-great gossip about the new director. Knowing this movie could be her big break, Skye’s trying her hardest to ignore the friction that seems present in all her encounters with the confident, artistic Andie McKenzie. Secluded from the world while on the location shoot, Andie and Skye soon realize their initial friction has given way to something else. But with personal and professional obstacles thrown up at every turn, they’ll soon discover whether love is more important than their careers.

First Published in 2000. The Simpleton, which was written in 1968 and could not be performed for political reasons, saw the light of day only in 1994. Its complex games of power and identity, played out among a group of actors, remain entirely contemporary today. Set in a theatre, The Simpleton, in the age-old tradition of Russian drama, tackles the timeless problems of personal freedom and inner independence. It is anything but a simple play with its complicated chameleon-like nature new levels of reality continually moving in to push their predecessors out of the way. The mystification begins at the outset with the future arsonist, the Fop, prowling through the gall grumbling about the presence of spectators... The Simpleton is unlike anything else that was being written in the Soviet Union at the time and aside from its searing thematic content, it is astonishingly inventive in its theatricality.

We all, as the characters in this story face unknown tests and challenges at times in our lives from the Thorns of the Heart. These fated times happen to all of us whether we are young, old, rich, or poor. Yes, it is through these severe heavy downpours of pain and suffering in our own lives that we meet up with the Grim Reaper eye to eye and face-off with The Thorns of the Heart. However, as my brother, W.R. Sharp, and I wrote in our novel, life is finite and just like a burning candle, it has a beginning and an ending in its own time. Yes, this is true unless the waxed lit flame is blown out at an unexpected moment before one is ready to say goodbye to their loved ones or to leave their earthly life behind on this earth. At these specific times, and many other times in our lives, we suffer from the Thorns of the Heart. Yet, we must continue to live our lives to the fullest, having infinite hope and forge ahead for not only our children, but for all our loved ones. The sense of our survival allows not only continuity but the preservation of our family legacies in generations to come. Human stamina, we as the authors believe is the secret to one’s life as described in the words of the poem A Candle Burns – A Candle Burns by S. L. Sharp A candle burns in all our hearts flamed with passion, lies and secrets. A candle burns in all our hearts scorched in old romances, friends and acquaintances. A candle burns in all our hearts smoked with bittersweet, sadness and sorrow. A candle burns in all our hearts melted down with memories, regrets and moments. A candle burns in all our hearts burnt-out in love, laughter and yesterdays. Yes, we must encounter each new day of our life through our powers of love, strength, faith and by not believing in never-ending dreams! Only through positive thoughts, a belief system, intestinal fortitude, and physical stamina, can we provide mental body armor against the Thorns of the Heart. This will allow the sun to shine once again within our souls clearing the pathway for all of us to a new life-changing awakening day, only if we keep HANGIN’ ON... W. R. Sharp and S. L. Sharp
