...court to answer a charge of rape. That's on top of the corruption charges the onetime leader of South Africa's Moral Regeneration Movement faces in a separate trial. But for many in the ruling African National Congress, Zuma's fall from grace is viewed not as a tale of personal failings, but instead as the workings of a conspiracy to blunt the grassroots left-wing challenge for the leadership of which the former Deputy President had been a champion...
...seriousness of purpose that marked the signature musicals of the 70s, 80s and 90s (your Evita, your Les Miz, your Passion) and hitches it to the propulsive narrative zip of this decade's signature musical comedies (The Producers and its zany progeny).

Oh, snap! An evil fellow named “Goodwin” actually conned everyone...
...reader. So a cartoon stand-in for Lendler keeps turning up to urge the reader to slow down for Ned's sake and to please, please not turn the page yet. Now, what youngster can resist defying such a request? The narrative, a standard knight-rescuing-an-imprisoned-princess tale, unravels ridiculously as the overwhelmed Ned is forced to improvise. Tutus are substituted for missing armor, a giant pretzel replaces a dragon, and the hero falls through a hole in a half-drawn floor. Ultimately Ned quits, and a desperate Lendler runs out of the letter e as his book...
