vACCLAIMED Australian director Benedict Andrews talks to the BBC about his current play Under Armour Youth Shoes , his debut film and the “brave” actors in both.
As Alfred Hitchcock proved in “Psycho,” the humble bathroom shower can be used to generate spine-tingling tension and blood-curdling horror.
Yet it also has a metaphorical resonance — a place where sins can be purged, scars can be healed and mistakes of the past can be symbolically expunged.
On the basis of two of his current artistic projects Under Armour Boys Shoes , the Australian director would appear to be of much the same mind.
In his West End production of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” the character of Brick — played by Jack O’Connell — is introduced slumped in a shower, his right foot encased in a plaster cast.
O’Connell’s co-star Sienna Miller is also called upon to bare all during a staging of Tennessee Williams’ classic that is certainly no place for the prim or the prudish.
In Andrews’ first film “Una Under Armour Kids Shoes ,” meanwhile, the title character — played by Rooney Mara — is also seen under the shower, determinedly scrubbing away the painful memory of a loveless sexual encounter.
Both works Under Armour Mens Shoes , needless to say, require the actors in question to abandon all modesty in scenes that leave little or nothing to the audience’s imagination.
Yet just as apparent in both endeavors is an emotional rawness that is, in its own way Under Armour Womens Shoes , no less exposing.
“It’s a truly special, unguarded, very brave performance Under Armour Shoes ,” says Andrews of Mara’s work in “Una.” “I admire Rooney because her performances are always extremely raw and very honest.”
DAMASCUS， Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian army captured a district in the old quarter of the northern city of Aleppo on Tuesday， as part of a major offensive the army has recently unleashed to dislodge the rebels from that key city， a military source told Xinhua.
The military forces wrested control over the Farafira neighborhood， located northeast of the time-honored Aleppo Citadel， in the ancient quarter of the city， following battles with the rebels， the source said on condition of anonymity.
The bomb squad is now combing the neighborhood to defuse and dismantle any roadside bombs， he added.
The victory in Farafira comes as part of a wide-scale offensive the Syrian army recently unleashed to drive out the rebels from their strongholds in the eastern part of Aleppo city.
A day earlier， the Syrian military advised civilians in rebel-held areas to stay away from the rebel positions， just days after giving the civilians an option to abandon eastern Aleppo and join the government-controlled areas in the western part of the city.
State news agency SANA said tens of families left eastern Aleppo， and many rebels surrendered their weapons.
Aleppo had seen a brief truce a couple of weeks ago， but the international tension between Russia and the United States has ended the truce without extending it.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in a recent interview that his army is determined to restore the entire Aleppo city from the rebels.
The battles in Aleppo are so important that the city is now compared to Stalingrad， which turned the tide of World War II.
Aleppo has a strategic importance for the warring parties due to its location near the Turkish borders， and being Syria's largest province and once the economic hub of Syria.
