For a time we tried to follow, to carve out our own piece of sky with a butter-smooth arc of an arm and a Spalding ball glued to the fingertips. Seen from a British perspective, The Spalding Suite gets to the heart and soul of the gravity-defying game and delves into the hopes and dreams of those who play it. From the fleeting high of the score and the robust camaraderie of the team, to the poignant lows of a body too worn to play the game. 410 0$aOberon modern plays. 606 $aBasketball$vDrama 606 $aBasketball players$vDrama 606 $aAthletes, Black$vDrama 606 $aTeamwork (Sports)$vDrama 606 $aBasketball$vPoetry 606 $aBasketball players$vPoetry 606 $aAthletes, Black$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00820086 606 $aBasketball$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00828203 606 $aBasketball players$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00828280 606 $aTeamwork (Sports)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01144701 606 $aPlays, playscripts$2bic 608 $aPoetry.$2fast 608 $aDrama.$2fast 608 $aDrama.$2lcgft 615 0$aBasketball 615 0$aBasketball players 615 0$aAthletes, Black 615 0$aTeamwork (Sports) 615 0$aBasketball 615 0$aBasketball players 615 7$aAthletes, Black. 615 7$aBasketball. 615 7$aBasketball players. 615 7$aTeamwork (Sports) 615 7$aPlays, playscripts. 676 $a822.92 700 $aEllams$b Inua$01241024 702 $aSam-La Rose$b Jacob 702 $aParkes$b Nii Ayikwei 702 $aMakoha$b Nick 702 $aPiasecki$b Bohdan 702 $aRobinson$b Roger 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822249203321 996 $aThe spalding suite$94056697 997 $aUNINA
