The Button Box: A gripping historical romance saga from the No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Norma and Arthur argue over Steward's offer, complicated by the news that their son Walter's private school, where Norma teaches, will no longer provide a discount for his tuition. They open the box to discover it is 'just a bunch of wood', and Arthur chastises Norma for her fear, but no decision is made before they go to sleep. We have recently performed The Button Box as our end of term play and I would just like to say how wonderful it was! I am a Y6 teacher and my class absolutely loved the storyline and parts to this play (we even had to create some extra parts using the ideas within the songs!) rnWe had 3 performances in total and they were all fantastic - we had many lovely comments from parents and relatives about the production.rn Adored 'belly Button Boogie'.

We believe this is one of our most successful productions to date. The flexibility of the songs and dramatic content was perfect for us.The children loved the variety of songs and musical styles. A leisurely stroll along the canal to the west will take you to the delightful village of Slaithwaite, full of artisan and locally sourced food, independent shops and an award winning homemade bakery with cafe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Button Box - a well equipped and comfortable cottage, in a quiet area, which we would highly recommend." Gregg Goldstein (November 2, 2007). "Marsden wrapped up in The Box role". The Hollywood Reporter . Retrieved January 11, 2008.The Button Box is a journey around the world in song! The music is very varied and colourful and the show is well suited to a large cast, making it an excellent whole school or end of year production. I know this trilogy has been hit-or-miss for some readers, but I’ve had a blast in this particular world and it was great seeing the Dark Tower come into play, different worlds discussed and shared and ultimately how poignant and soul crushing the ending was. Did I cry? Yes. Not only is the story dripping with emotions but with the state of the world we live in, it was invigorating as well as devastating to see someone go that far above and beyond for the greater good. Ending made me sad as expected but I always cry when something is too good eventually runs out of its own time. I’m saying goodbye to this brilliant trilogy with misty eyes and highly recommend to you read each book, enjoy the talents of the authors!

There is something to cater for every taste nearby; from the awe-inspiring Peak District National Park to the shopping haven of Manchester. The police treat the murder as a domestic homicide, and it is discovered that the husband of the woman who was shot is a colleague of Arthur's. NASA chief Martin Teague and Norm Cahill, Arthur's boss, discuss Cahill's missing colleague, Arlington Steward. The chief tells Cahill that Steward became "something else" after being killed by lightning, shortly after NASA received the first photograph transmitted by the Viking 1 Mars lander in July 1976.

Diaries & Calendars

This is the fourth Starshine production we have done and they just keep getting better and better!!! There are 26 children in our class which is year 5 and 6. The children had 4 weeks to learn it after SATs. They choreographed their own dances, thought of the accessories to go with each scene, to keep it simple yet effective, and made their own posters and programmes to advertise the perfomance! The children loved it and they performed it for our local senior citizens and had a night time performance which was attended by 76 people. I am a teaching assistant in our school and I am so proud of all the children's efforts that they put into this performance. Such A Quality Product.

Everything you need, nice relaxing and peaceful space with lots to do nearby like the beautiful walk along the canal to Marsden. The hosts were great leaving nice little extra touches. Definitely recommendWe went for a restful week, but went to lots of places, the cottage was in a good place, to see Derbyhire and South Yorks The children really enjoyed singing and performing 'The Button Box'. When they came off stage they were elated with the performance. Energize this year had all the outcomes of the project that we were looking for, children and staff from different schools working together on a performance project that brought together some of the Wycombe community. All those involved in the 'Button Box' musical journey; the children, class teachers, parents and music teachers agreed that it was a fantastic performance to create, with a wonderful story and amazing songs. The audience of all ages; family, friends and Governors thoroughly enjoyed it. So Adaptable.

I’m not gonna give much away. I know when I start to talk about plot, I cannot stop myself without giving too much spoilers! I can only say I loved this thrilling wild space ride! Shoppers in the Biba store on Kensington high street, London, in 1967. Photograph: Pictorial Press/Alamy It’s hard to believe now, when people go to funerals in jeans and anoraks, that mourning dress was once so elaborate, its conventions both strict and ghoulish. But in the 19th and early 20th century, death was all around. Surely someone was entitled to benefit. In her new book, The Button Box, Lynn Knight cites some of the more macabre jewellery favoured by bereaved Victorians: the brooches like those worn by the women in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Cranford, in which the hair of the loved one was used to execute mausoleums and weeping willows; the buttons that resembled weeping eyes. But as she also notes, jewellery wasn’t the half of it. Drapers’ assistants knew “the correct scale of lamentation by trimming”. John Lewis sold 50 kinds of crepe. A 19th-century skit had a woman being shown a widow’s silk: “Watered, you perceive, to match the sentiment. It is called ‘Inconsolable’, and is very much in vogue in Paris for matrimonial bereavements.” The Box is a 2009, American psychological thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly, who also serves as a co-producer. It is based on the 1970 short story " Button, Button" by Richard Matheson, which was previously adapted into an episode of The Twilight Zone. The film stars Cameron Diaz and James Marsden as a couple who receive a box from a mysterious man (played by Frank Langella) who offers them one million dollars if they press the button sealed within the dome on top of the box, but tells them that, once the button has been pushed, someone they do not know will die. No matter how careful you were, no matter how good your intentions, the button box always extracted its due. In blood.Possibly the worst thing I've ever read with Stephen King's name attached to it. I cannot conceive of how he could be proud or happy to see his name on the cover of this steaming pile of shit.
