The EdgeI really want you to read this play. I could be polite and say it would be nice, but that doesnt really cover it. As news media across the world bear witness to youth campaigning against inertia on climate change, you may have wondered what you can do to change minds. If yes, this play calls on your help.The Edge imagines ways closed minds can be persuaded to open and hope prevail. Perform a miracle. Look with fresh and fearless eyes at planet Earth.

I really want you to read this play.Ê I could be polite and say it would be nice, but that doesnÕt really cover it. As news media across the world bear witness to youth campaigning against inertia on climate change, you may have wondered what you can do to change minds. If yes, this play calls on your help.ÊThe Edge imagines ways closed minds can be persuaded to open and hope prevail. ÊPerform a miracle.

Look with fresh and fearless eyes at planet Earth.Ê ManÕs insanity has brought us to the edge, and along with us, everything that exists. The Edge foresees a coming disaster, its designated victims pitched in front of natureÕs fury. A violent flood sweeps down a hillside, savages a bridge, and engulfs a road. Like us, the chosen humans may dislike some views and identify with others, but as fellow passengers in one fragile boat, we and they are compelled to listen. ÊÊ

ÒItÕs really compelling. I love the unorthodox setting and the characters feel archetypal, but not over-obviously. ItÕs a knowing and fairly explicit allegory, but treated with the right amount of irony and self-awareness that makes it quite charming. The humour is also very good, I feel it will come across really well on stage, and although you can clearly write very snappy dialogue, I appreciate how you reserve it for the characters that would actually talk that way. There is often an Aaron Sorkin-esque tendency in witty playwriting to have everyone be very clever and funny, and it means the characters all speak in the same way, but this isnÕt the case with your work.Ó
Oliva Burgin, TV Producer

I purchased the hard copy with online version. The online version is missing part 3 and Aspen Publishing refuses to provide it. I no longer have the hard copy because I gave it to a classmate.

LOVE this book- great for giggles
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
We checked this book out at the library and my son (4 y/o) instantly loved it. We read it to my daughter (6 y/o) and she loved it too. It’s comical without being too in your face. The drawings are hilarious and you can’t help but love Duck. It’s super simple in terms of plot, but expertly silly. It’s all in the deliver of the reader so make sure you draw attention to the pictures (passage of time, facial reaction, etc), emote, and have fun with it. I would say this is great for children 4-10. And I believe most 7-8 year olds could read independently with relative ease depending on their level.

Format: Hardcover
Love Latimer's books for children. So fun, clever, and original. And this title checks all the boxes. A fun story that will get readers thinking about ducks and blinking contests.
