Book excerpt: This book gives an in-depth and invigorating analysis of reflexivity in recent British drama - the way drama comments on drama. The interplay of dramatic forms, the cross-fertilization of historical traditions are explored in relation to major contemporary authors and theatrical practices. When drama takes itself as its own object of study it paradoxically highlights the most vital issues of its time. Key questions are raised about the nature of theatricality in play-writing and performance in this the first full-length treatment of the subject.

Download or read book Plays written by Georg Kaiser and published by Alma Books. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From Morning to Midnight the cashier, downtrodden victim of the capitalist system, turns bank robber in order to test the power, freedom and happiness that money can bring. His grand gesture of setting himself and others free turns into an odyssey of disillusion and ends in his violent death. The unique stage technique employed by Kaiser is as challenging today as it was when the play was first performed. The Burghers of Calais has always been considered Kaiser's greatest play and the "e;classic"e; of Expressionist drama. In it, Kaiser exploits the non-naturalistic technique of Expressionism. The play embraces vast expansiveness and total concentration, stylized gesture and lengthy monologues.

Book excerpt: "The history of ideas provides an important means of understanding and reinterpreting the literature of the past; and in this study Dr. Calder demonstrates the illumination that this informed approach brings to the comedies of Moliere. In the course of this study, the author outlines a fresh theory of classical comedy which applies to the works of other French writers of the 17th century; and the historical reinterpretations of Moliere's two most difficult plays - Le Tartuffe and Dom Juan - break entirely new ground." "Although this is work which specialists will admire, it is also intended to serve as an introduction to Moliere and French classical comedy at large and will be of considerable value to younger students and readers of Moliere in general."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
