Henderson, NV (PRWEB) July 29, 2004 -- "The Corporate Circus," a fantasy
corporate satire, is uniquely original and innovatively creative book-based
property written by Adela JP (pen name of Adela Josue Polin). "The Corporate
Circus" has been awarded a 5 Star rave review by Midwest Book Review describing
the story as, “a bizarre and fantastic tale told almost entirely in dialogue,
with each corporate lackey player represented as an animal. "The Corporate
Circus," by Adela JP offers the reader a genuinely fantastic interplay of office
politics and an original "tongue-in-cheek" satire. Humorous, witty, and
engagingly presented, The Corporate Circus is highly recommended reading which
leaves a marked impression of business that combines the exotic with the
all-too-real."
Adela JP, author and creator of The
Corporate Circus, is an MBA whose corporate experience led to the writing of
“The Corporate Circus” as an entertainingly satiric look at corporate life in
what she called, “an intricately complete story adaptable for novelization,
television and theatrical release, as well as a broad array of licensing
categories.”
"The Corporate Circus" ( www.thecorporatecircus.com/index1.html) will be presented as
both an Adult Animation show and as an Animated Interplay in a live action
Office Sitcom television project at the upcoming NATPE TV PRODUCERS’ BOOT CAMP
in West Hollywood on July 29-30, 2004.
"The Corporate Circus book," a
fantasy soap opera look at the workplace, details the office drama and travails
of 15 key characters that Adela JP created through satirizing office behavior
and interactions that are prevalent in work environment settings. The property
and book promote constructive fun that the author hopes will amuse employees and
remind them to see their demanding, sometimes frustrating job situations in a
humorous and entertaining point of view.
“The universal and instantly
recognizable workplace events and personalities familiar to just about everyone
in the workplace are cleverly encapsulated in 'The Corporate Circus,' and we are
confident this adult targeted brand will capture trade support and consumers’
imaginations," according to Sariah Smalley, President of Keyline Licensing.
Adela JP said, "In writing and creating the story, I hoped to tap into
common concepts familiar to most office workers who can respond to and
appreciate the exaggerated humorous portrayal of office life depicted in "The
Corporate Circus" book. The story is taking an imaginative fantasy look at
employees’ behavior familiar to anyone who has worked in a structured
organization. "The Corporate Circus" hopes to relieve some of the boredom common
in the workplace by helping employees connect with their uninhibited creative
inner kid through the utilization of animated office humor characters as office
toys to have fun with or as play module or device to dramatize common
organizational behavior issues. From employee motivation seminars and other
training tools, to an entertaining office sitcom television series or movie
concept for adults (and/or children), The Corporate Circus has unlimited
possibilities."
Adela JP added, "The Corporate Circus is a metaphorical
look at corporate life emphasizing the fragile, unpredictable yet interestingly
amusing human behavior. Amid the important work in the corridors of corporate
power, the human need and necessity to have fun and humor at work is often
overlooked, yet integral to the success of the companies to which they lend so
much of their lives. The concept is striking a chord with people who gravitate
to the story based on their own similar experiences. We are happy to bring a
smile to those workers who need it most.”
