Razzle Dazzle The chart is what carnys call a ‘razzle board', used to convert your play into points. all razzle games use a conversion chart to translate the player's score into a final number, and all call for play-by-play cost buildups. The object of the game is dual: to win small prizes by hitting certain small totals, which pay off in prizes and small amounts of cash, and to accumulate an exact number of points as you continue to play for the big payoff. www.goodmagic.com /websales/midway/razzle.htm   (726 words)

Cast lives up to the dazzle of 'Razzle' - The Boston Globe This is a long way of saying that ''On the Razzle" cannot be properly produced on a summer-theater rehearsal schedule. WILLIAMSTOWN -- Tom Stoppard's ''On the Razzle" is a dazzling verbal and theatrical tour de force. The playwright manipulates 22 speaking parts like a card shark, the deck dancing in the air and invariably alighting with a winning hand in front of the audience. www.boston.com /ae/theater_arts/articles/2005/08/11/cast_lives_up_to_the_dazzle_of_razzle   (644 words)

Tom Stoppard It's a play in which Shavian debate interacts with showbiz razzle-dazzle but behind it, as always with Stoppard, lies a serious idea: the question of whether moral values are purely social constructs or stem from an absolute divinity. What makes Stoppard's play special is that, partly because the hero is a successful writer with several of the dramatist's own characteristics, it embraces so many other themes: not least the relativity of perception and the difficulty of deciding what 'the real thing' actually is in art, life and politics. And the play is based on the favoured Stoppard pattern of collision: two minor figures from Shakespeare's tragedy, uncertain of their own identities and passing the time flipping coins and playing word-games, come up against the seemingly inexplicable public events that make up Hamlet. www.contemporarywriters.com /authors?p=auth254   (1713 words)

Poised to Pounce Although many junior players are guilty of going for the big shot, believing that hitting speedy winners is cool (and these shots are cool, but unfortunately not consistent), adults engage in their own forms of razzle-dazzle relative to their skill level. By the way, the percentage shot in the preceding situation is to hit the hard low ball back to the player on the baseline and wait for a better opportunity to go for a winner. The foundation for their tennis success is always rooted in percentage play, not individual excellent shots. www.tennislifemagazine.com /ed2005/april05/april05-inst.html   (870 words)

cluetrain manifesto - chapter one However, most "e-commerce" plays today look a lot like General Motors circa 1969 — looking for that next lucrative mass market just when markets have shattered into a million mirror-shard constituencies, many asking for something altogether different from the mindless razzle-dazzle of the tube. There are just three conditions: 1) you have to let your people play for you, since there's really nobody else at home; 2) you have to play, not something more serious and goal-oriented; and 3) related to the previous, you have to have at least some tenuous notion of what "headspace" might mean. The corporation pretends to speak, but its voice is that of a third-rate actor in a fourth-rate play, uttering lines no one believes in a manner no one respects. www.cluetrain.com /apocalypso.html   (870 words)

On the Razzle His "On the Razzle" (1981), based on "Einen Fux will er sich machen," a classic farce by 19th century Viennese actor/playwright Johann Nestroy, is less well-known. But he also employed two essentials of Nestroy's play: first, the tale of two "country mice" set loose in the city for a day of illicit freedom and romance among the cosmopolitans; second, the primary business of making the play as comic and entertaining as possible. In the play, two grocery clerks in provincial Austria sneak out to the "big town"--Vienna--for a rapscallion night of adventures, high jinx, romances, feverishly switched identities and close-calls. www.nytheatre-wire.com /razzle.htm   (895 words)

Night and Day, a CurtainUp review Night and Day, considered by many to be a transitional play, might best be described as a comic drawing room thriller. With these bookends for his revival of another Night and Day, Tom Stoppard 1978 play about three journalists tracking a conflict between an African dictator and a rebel general, director Ernest Johns has turned a potential weakness into strength. Razzle initiated David Fuller's reign as the Cocteau's producing artistic director and was a triumphant directorial swan song for his predecessor Scott Shattuck. www.curtainup.com /nightandday.html   (755 words)

RAZZLE DAZZLE at the Minack Theatre, Cornwall, 9th to 13th June 2003 Stoppard employs two essentials of Nestroy's play: first, the tale of two "country mice" set loose in the city for a day of illicit freedom and romance among the cosmopolitans; second, the primary business of making the play as comic and entertaining as possible. "On the Razzle" is Stoppard's version of Johann Nestroy's farce, which also served as the source for Thornton Wilder's "The Matchmaker" and the Broadway musical "Hello Dolly!". Notwithstanding the British-flavoured insouciance of Stoppard's adaptation, it is still truer to the original plot than Wilder's, which changed Nestroy's Vienna into Yonkers and imposed a new central character, Dolly Levi, the matchmaker for whom Wilder's play was titled. website.lineone.net /~gatehouse.theatre/gt4.htm   (409 words)

Jan. 22: Harlem Globetrotters Since 1926, the Globetrotters have been barnstorming across America, wowing audiences with their unconventional brand of razzle-dazzle basketball and comic antics. During the past few years, the Globetrotters have played major college teams in competitive games, and this year they will make their sixth-annual appearance at the NCAA Final Four to play the country's top college seniors. The bread and butter, however, still is the traveling shows against the Nationals, and the Globetrotters have seen a spike in attendance this season, Jackson said. www.azcentral.com /ent/calendar/articles/0118globe18.html   (742 words)

Variety.com - Reviews - On the Razzle But Stoppard and Jones haven't kept their eyes on the narrative prize or sharpened the relationship between the characters, leaving them little more than vehicles for the playwright's lingual pretzels and the helmer's speedy staging.

Vs Cameron - 2003 Cameron hit on one more big razzle-dazzle play midway through the third quarter, as Mullins tossed a backwards lateral to Smith, who then threw a strike to a wide-open Evans for an 80-yard touchdown. The Cougars also paid Cameron back for the game's opening play, as Kerry Harris snatched the second-half kick and darted up the middle of the field for a touchdown that covered 90 yards, one more than Majors’ return. On Cameron's next possession, the center launched a snap high over punter Derrick Evans’ head and into the end zone, where Evans wisely kicked the ball out of bounds for a safety. members.door.net /nbclumber/Jcarr/FB-2003/Ga-01.htm   (720 words)

CANOE -- JAM! - East-West lacks energy This sombre film, which played the Toronto film festival last September under its French title Est-Ouest, is no match for Pedro Almodovar's razzle-dazzle. Deneuve does a decent job and has one remarkable scene in which she stays in costume from an historical play while she leaps into action in the 'real' world. The film is dignified and important and rings with a sense of honour and truth. jam.canoe.ca /Movies/Reviews/E/East_West/2000/03/31/pf-752802.html   (378 words)

Razzle Dazzle For each down, as soon as both teams are on their respective sides of the ball or line of scrimmage, an offensive team player snaps the ball off the ground backwards to a teammate and a new play has begun. On the fourth down, the offensive team may elect to punt, the defensive team cannot rush the kicker in an attempt to block the punt, and the offensive team may not run down field until the ball has been kicked. If the offensive team drops a forward pass the play ends, and the ball is moved back to the point from which the ball was thrown. www.d230.org /cs/sheehan/pe/razzle.htm   (1231 words)

rugby.com.au Islanders crush hapless Waratahs Winger Sitiveni Sivivatu made a great covering tackle to deny NSW fullback Peter Hewat from scoring in the corner soon after, but from then on the Pacific Islanders turned on the razzle dazzle to put the game away early. They crossed for five tries in the space of ten minutes from the 16th minute, spreading the ball from one side of the field to the other, throwing flick passes inside and out in the style of play the Pacific Island nations have become renowned for. But another scintillating try after the halftime siren, when Sivivatu regathered a long kick before passing to unmarked centre Selala Mapusua to cross over under the posts, gave the visitors a commanding 49-14 lead at the break. www.rugby.com.au /news.rugby/article/19113   (446 words)

junior The second half would be a difficult test for the Belconnen players - showing great spirit, they met the challenge head on and can be greatly encouraged by their efforts in scoring 6.6 to 5.6 (with one player less than the opposition). With the rain threatening, the wind blowing and the umpire asked that no coach be on the field during the game the team was terrific from the start, the passing and kicking to each other was accurate and fantastic, and the play flowed so beautifully. Not since last summer when the lush Kippax oval was home to the herd of homeless horses has there been such a display of speed and equine like razzle dazzle as was witnessed last Saturday at the KCG - the home of the mighty magpies. www.belconnenmagpies.com.au /junior/junior.html   (4729 words)
