  Armagnac: less-popular brandy steps out of cognac's shadow, into cocktails - On Beverage Nation's Restaurant News - ...
One of the ploys of the Armagnac producers was to start promoting mixed drinks made with their style of brandy as a base, and since we live in the second golden age of cocktails, that turned out to be a great ruse.
Armagnac, for the most part, still is made in continuous stills designed to create eau-de-vie, or in one go-around, whereas cognac is made in the older style of pot still and has to be processed twice in order to achieve sufficient proof to be called eau de-vie.
Armagnac is produced from grapes--largely Ugni Blanc, a.k.a.Saint-Emilion, Colombard or Folle Blanche--grown in three subregions of the area: The grapes grown in Tenareze tend to produce a light brandy.

 The Heroic Richard III
According to Armagnac, Richard saw himself, because of his military and diplomatic abilities, as the best possible king for his country and his fall to the invading Richmond as a true tragedy for himself and his society.
Armagnac says he realized then that, though others viewed him as a monster, Hitler saw himself as the hero of the story, doing his best for Germany, suffering with his soldiers, and bearing the heavy burden of leadership.
Armagnac’s very effective performance was informed by this sense of Richard as hero in his own life, however much he may appear as the villain in the lives of those around him.

 Irish funeral triptych could use a dash of vim
The plot and Armagnac's performance thicken considerably in the second scene, in a confrontation between John and his long-estranged daughter, Mary (Holli Hornlien).
Armagnac and Hornlien weave a dense fabric of weary resentments, present anxieties and sudden flashes of tenderness that seem to surprise the actors as much as the audience.
Pelczar's interaction with Armagnac is more layered and convoluted as John tries to steel his courage and redefine himself to face the challenge of being emotionally present for the daughter he's let down so often before.

 'Dead Man Walking' a powerful production
As Gary Armagnac writes in a director's note, the local production is part of a nationwide initiative, the Dead Man Walking School Play Project.
Armagnac, in collaboration with technical director Gary Scheiding and their scenic and lighting designers, has created a production that incorporates an impressive, angular set as well as an array of complex sound and lighting cues.
There is an entire video production team, which provides key background information through not only mock newscasts but, in a particularly grueling moment, the killings that put Poncelet on death row to begin with.

Surprisingly, this is precisely what makes Pericles so refreshing, even if scholars question the authenticity of this less-than-top-notch Shakespearean play.
Jam-packed with plot (including incest, shipwrecks, kidnapping and prostitution), Pericles boasts solid performances from Gary Armagnac as Pericles and A. Bryan Humphrey as Gower/Chorus.
Armagnac and Humphrey’s once again offer solid performances in respective roles as Sir Toby Belch and Malvolio, in addition to Carol Johnson’s pleasing turn as Olivia and Brooke Behmke’s unpretentious take on the clown Feste.

And, accordingly, the entire world of the King of Britain, Cymbeline (Gary Armagnac), is literally one big show.
But Imogen has already married a commoner, Posthumus (Hans Altwies), whom the King, in angry retaliation, has banished; the separated newlyweds communicate secretly with the help of Posthumus' loyal servant Pisanio (Richard Robichaux).
In the somewhat limited title role, Armagnac capably conveys a formerly wise ruler who has become enfeebled, both physically and mentally, simply by being too susceptible to vanity.

Bravo to Whitworth for selecting such a juicily unpolitically correct play, filled with characters for whom cutting a fine figure is tantamount to life itself.

Jack Aranson (Sir Toby Belch) and Francis Cuka (Maria) also provide the play with some of its most amusing--and bawdy--humor in their defiance of courtly propriety.
