Download or read book A Playgoer s Memories Classic Reprint written by H. G. Hibbert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Playgoer's Memories I don't know why you should apply to me for a foreword to your book on the inner history of the late Victorian and Edwardian stage, unless it be for the reason that no one else in the theatrical world is so ignorant as I of the said inner history. I have never in my life been in a green-room - does such a thing exist nowadays - and at theatrical clubs I have been a very infrequent and somewhat dépaysé guest. Therefore I could as easily have written a book on Einstein's Theory of Relativity as on the subjects which you handle with such suave and humane omniscience. I suppose, then, that you apply to me as the least expert and the most appreciative reader you can find. You know how I delighted in your Fifty Years of a Londoner's Life, and you make with confidence a second appeal to my interest in the men and women whom I have hitherto known only, or mainly, as actors and actresses.

Download or read book The Tower of London in English Renaissance Drama written by Kristen Deiter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-02-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tower of London in English Renaissance Drama historicizes the Tower of London's evolving meanings in English culture alongside its representations in twenty-four English history plays, 1579-c.1634, by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. While Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I fashioned the Tower as a showplace of royal authority, magnificence, and entertainment, many playwrights of the time revealed the Tower's instability as a royal symbol and represented it, instead, as an emblem of opposition to the crown and as a bodily and spiritual icon of non-royal English identity.

Download or read book Thinking Through Place on the Early Modern English Stage written by Andrew Bozio and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking Through Place on the Early Modern English Stage argues that environment and embodied thought continually shaped one another in the performance of early modern English drama. It demonstrates this, first, by establishing how characters think through their surroundings — not only how they orient themselves within unfamiliar or otherwise strange locations, but also how their environs function as the scaffolding for perception, memory, and other forms of embodied thought. It then contends that these moments of thinking through place theorise and thematise the work that playgoers undertook in reimagining the stage as the setting of the dramatic fiction. By tracing the relationship between these two registers of thought in such plays as The Malcontent, Dido Queen of Carthage, Tamburlaine, King Lear, The Knight of the Burning Pestle, and Bartholomew Fair, this book shows that drama makes visible the often invisible means by which embodied subjects acquire a sense of their surroundings. It also reveals how, in doing so, theatre altered the way that playgoers perceived, experienced, and imagined place in early modern England.
Download or read book Stages and Playgoers written by Janet Hill and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stages and Playgoers demonstrates the long, vital tradition of dialogue between stage and audience from medieval, through Tudor, to Jacobean drama. Janet Hill offers new insights into techniques of addressing playgoers from the stage and how they might have operated under particular staging conditions. Hill calls this dialogue "open address," a term that takes in a range of speeches often called "asides," "monologues," and "soliloquies." She argues that open address is a strategy that challenges playgoers, asking for answers that lie outside the stage in the playgoer/playhouse world.
Download or read book Antigone on the Contemporary World Stage written by Erin B. Mee and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antigone on the Contemporary World Stage is the first book to analyse what happens to Sophocles' play as it is adapted and (re)produced around the world, and the first to focus specifically on Antigone in performance. The essays, by an international gathering of noted scholars from a wide range of disciplines, highlight the numerous ways in which social, political, historical, and cultural contexts transform the material, how artists and audiences in diverse societies including Argentina, The Congo, Finland, Haiti, India, Japan, and the United States interact with it, and the variety of issues it has been used to address.
