	Troping the Asylum - Jon Thomas Rowland I live in the shadow of the Toronto Asylum, in Parkdale, Toronto's great ghetto for gays, blacks, paupers, psychiatric survivors, etc. The neighbourhood begins at the overpass for the Canadian Pacific Railroad, where King and Queen Streets symbolically descend a little, so as not to interfere with the trains. Joseph Workman, Medical Superintendent 1853-1875, the "Nestor of Alienists," fretted that the steepness would cause accidents...

	La Pazzia: The Wonderful Post-Mortem (A Masque of Mental Health) - Jon Thomas Rowland This is my original adaptation of Workman's article. I did the research for this in the basement of the Gerstein Library in Toronto, realized its dramatic potential and adapted it as a play. This was the basis of the Workman Theatre group's production in 1998. *** Some Notes About the Production That a psychiatric nurse turned theatre manager named Lisa Brown, failed to acknowledge the inventor of this play, is perhaps too revealing to be omitted from any accurate characterization of the produ...

	Pioneers of Alienism and 50s Sci-Fi at Thing Street Asylum - Jon Thomas Rowland Here is Pioneers of Alienism and 50s Sci-Fi at Thing Street Asylum, the latest revision of the work known previously as Thing Street Asylum. An early version of this work was posted to the Internet Archive, and to a site maintained by litvision.org.

	Scarlet Street - Fritz Lang, Walter Wanger German director Fritz Lang is best known for the highly influential films from relatively early in his career, especially Metropolis (1927) and M (1931). But he also had a brief Hollywood heyday during the mid 1940s, when he made some of his best films. Scarlet Street has been claimed by film noir. This attribution is understandable. The lighting is dark, with heavy use of shadows. The characters are all shady as well... Keywords: Film-Noir; Drama; Black Comedy; Fritz Lang Downloads: 51,282 Average rating: (19 reviews)
	M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Moerder - Seymour Nebenzal This film is nothing less than a masterpiece. It is a highly structured and stylized film about a serial killer. It created the serial kill genre, which includes such entries as Psycho and Silence of the Lambs. Alfred Hitchcock (the director of Psycho) was a disciple of Lang as were Jacques Tourneur (The Leopard Man (1943)) and Michael Powell (Peeping Tom (1960)). M was not only the originator of the genre, but arguably remains it preeminent entry...
