Topic: Zara Wright


  
  STORM: Zara Living The Dream
Zara, who had wanted to play professionally in the US "from the first day I knew there was a WNBA," felt the time was right to make the move.
When Zara checked in against the Sparks in the Storm's opener on May 21, it was her first WNBA action, regular season or otherwise.
Zara scored her first WNBA basket on a three-point play late in the game and also hit a 3-pointer for a career-high six points.

 Stormfans.org | Gameday | May 29, 2005 vs San Antonio
Instead we got Wright saying "Aggressive." I think in the first two games, what we saw from her, Battle or any of the other new players (except for Izzi that is) was anything but championship-tested toughness or aggressiveness.
Zara in particular had a few standout plays in which she either drove to the basket, broke down her defender for an open jumper, or directed the offense with confidence.
Zara immediately, like the veteran she is, went to Wright and gave her the "keep your eyes on me" sign.

 STORM: Storm Moves Forward After Expansion Draft
Francesca Zara had been selected by the Chicago Sky in the 2005 WNBA Expansion Draft, she was not surprised, but she was disappointed.
Wright had seven points and two assists in that role in the Storm's June 12 win at Charlotte and seven points and six assists against Minnesota on June 15.
Before Wright returned to Penn State to spend her off-season completing her degree and working on her game with her former Nittany Lions teammates, she and Donovan discussed having her work on playing the point.

...The little ranch-type houses he proposes are graceful in appearance, albeit without character, third cousins (and poor relations at that) to the edifices his idol, Wright, built for wellheeled Americans in regions similar in climate to Southern Palestine...
...As Zara pictures her, she is not only good-looking but dignified, shrewd, and kind: a woman of stature...
...Since the structure of Zara's book is in part candidly based on Biblical narratives, it might be said that this at least is significant...

Wright and Zara both already have their first WNBA field goals, Zara's layup and the foul before the timeout drawing a loud round of applause from the crowd.
The Storm is on a 13-0 run to take this from a tie game to a 28-15 lead as Dan Hughes calls a timeout with 5:14 left in the first half.

 The Seattle Times: Storm: Storm point of contention: Backcourt backup
Tanisha Wright's primary job is to back up Betty Lennox at shooting guard, but Wright also can play at the point in a pinch.
Wright, 5-11, teamed with Zara last summer when Bird broke her nose five games into the season.
Donovan likes Wright at point guard, but she is not playing her there as often because she doesn't think it's her best position.

 Nicholas Wright   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Wright was present at the three workshops held at the National Studio in order to develop the script and explore its theatrical potential, and from those early days through the entire rehearsals (where he was a constant presence) he was employed on almost continual rewrites of his own text.
Sometimes only a word or a phrase would be changed or cut, but at others he would rewrite whole sections of the play because either he or Nicholas Hytner felt the need to clarify the story or elaborate on a crucial aspect of the plot.
Wright is aware that some fans may find fault with his stage version but he says he knows the books better than anyone but the author and that Philip Pullman has been supportive and helpful throughout.

Numerous other musical guests embellish her 2001 Kimchee Records debut, The Devil I Once Knew, and its follow-up, 2004's Zara, including TW Walsh of Pedro the Lion, Daniel Coughlin (Thalia Zedek band, Come), and Duke Levine (Mary Chapin Carpenter band).
And upon Zara's release Heidi will once again be touring with a full band.
There's an earthy brazenness of sentiment in Heidi's work, achieved in the mix of her "knowing" voice and downbeat guitar explorations, but she just as effortlessly takes flight in irresistable vocal reaches and harmonies.

 Zara Ramm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Zara Ramm believes it's important for an actor to be flexible and adaptable, to be good at meeting new people and to be easy to get along with.
She might also have added that an actor needs to be physically fit because certainly in Zara's case, her work in Beasts and Beauties demanded considerable physical stamina.
Some of her roles, like the sister in 'The Juniper Tree' where she has to scream and sob for a long time, were physically and mentally exhausting.

Coming out of a timeout of their own, the Storm got a quality look on their final possession when Wright drove into the lane after taking the inbounds pass and flipped the ball to Burse, who took two steps inside the free throw line and sank her runner.
Burse scored 10 of her 14 points in the second half and Jackson chipped in 17 and 14 rebounds for Seattle, which outscored Charlotte in the paint, 44-18.

 Storm regains title credibility
On the contrary, a rotation featuring Castro-Marques, Burse, Lennox, Batkovic, Thompson, Tanisha Wright, Francesca Zara and Simone Edwards played with a cheeky confidence that had to give coach Anne Donovan a warm feeling from head to toe.
It's a long way for feelings to travel, but Donovan has to be immensely pleased, for she has fashioned out of several question marks a statement that would make a grammarian stand up and salute.
Still, with rookies like Wright, Batkovic and Zara earning serious minutes per game, and Castro-Marques, who last played in the WNBA two years ago, demonstrating a court presence not unlike the Sonics' Nick Collison, the Storm of 2005 is actually a more impressive achievement than its immediate predecessor.

Additional flaws are unconvincing characterization, especially of the protagonist, and a style that is often overblown.
The two works of fiction that were published after Wright's death, the collection of stories entitled Eight Men (1960) and Lawd Today (1963), also received mostly negative reviews.
Looking back over Wright's creative career, Howe says that Wright will probably never be regarded as 'a writer of the first rank, for his faults are grave and obvious" (17).
