Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Dublin Stage, 1720-1745 is a comprehensive documentary history and calendar of Dublin Ireland's theatres from 1720, the year of Joseph Ashbury's death, to 1745, when Thomas Sheridan assumed the management of the united Smock Alley/Aungier Street companies and ushered in the "Golden Age" of early Dublin theatre. During the eighteenth century, Dublin was second only to London in the number of theatres it supported and in the number and quality of productions. Winner of Lehigh University Press's eighteenth-century studies prize, this work details for the first time evidence of nearly 1,400 stage performances in eight competing theatres and theatrical booths and hundreds of performers, many previously unnoticed. Programs are listed in a detailed calendar, which is organized by theatrical season and provides a day-by-day account of the plays, afterpieces, dances, music, and songs that were performed, as well as the many other forms of entertainment that were staged at the public theatres, such as rope-dancing, animal acts, and equilibres." "The actors who performed and their named roles are listed, as well as the recipients of benefits, the titles of all songs, dances, and other entr'acte entertainments. Each entry also incorporates all available contemporary commentary about each performance, financial information, and supplies locations of rare texts." "In the analytical introduction to the calendar, the authors discuss the physical characteristics and locations of the theatres; their acoustics and capacities; the Dublin theatre season; composition, administration, and management of the companies of performers; management styles and techniques; actors' contractual arrangements, conditions, and salaries; ticket prices; benefit and command performances; the composition of the repertory; costumes, scenery, wardrobe, and machinery, and much else. Special attention is paid to areas that have been neglected by previous histories, such as dance and dancers, and prologues and epilogues." "In addition to a general index, The Dublin Stage, 1720-1745 provides indexes of all mainpieces and afterpieces performed during the period in Dublin, cross-referenced with the venue and date of performance; an author/play index; and an alphabetical listing of all personnel associated with the Dublin stage at this time, as well as a selected bibliography." "Incorporating into their book the work of recent eighteenth-century theatre scholarship, the authors bring to light much that is new about a fascinating period of theatre history and greatly expand our knowledge about the plays and entertainments enjoyed by Dublin audiences, and about the identities of the stage personnel active in Dublin."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Riot and Great Anger written by Joan Fitzpatrick Dean and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the strict rule of twentieth century Irish censorship, creators of novels, films, and most periodicals found no option but to submit and conform to standards. Stage productions, however, escaped official censorship. The theater became a "public space"—a place to air cultural confrontations between Church and State, individual and community, and "freedom of the theatre" versus the audience’s right to disagree. Joan FitzPatrick Dean’s Riot and Great Anger suggests that while there was no state censorship in early-twentieth-century Ireland, the theater often evoked heated responses from theatergoers, sometimes resulting in riots and the public denunciation of playwrights and artists. Dean examines the plays that provoked these controversies, the degree to which they were "censored" by the audience or actors, and the range of responses from both the press and the courts. She addresses familiar pieces such as those of William Butler Yeats, John Millington Synge, and Sean O’Casey, as well as the works of less known playwrights such as George Birmingham. Dean’s original research meticulously analyzes Ireland’s great theatrical tradition, both on the stage and off, concluding that the public responses to these controversial productions reveal a country that, at century’s end as at its beginning, was pluralistic, heterogeneous, and complex.
Download or read book The History of the Irish Newspaper 1685 1760 written by Robert Munter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Munter studies the growth and changing nature of the Irish periodical press from the time of the Protestant Ascendancy under William III to 1760, when provincial papers began to flourish outside Dublin. This was the period when newspapers were produced very largely in Dublin, mostly for local circulation among the English-speaking Protestant upper class. Dr Munter first sets the production of newspapers within the general history of Irish printing and bookselling, and the organisation of the trade. He then examines particular aspects of Irish newspaper history, presenting evidence about the importation of paper and the growth of local manufacture; the development of advertising and its importance as an element in the financial structure of the newspaper; evidence of the profitability of newspapers; circulation figures; the effect of the communications system on the supply and dissemination of news; the status of journalists and the development of the journalistic ethic; and analysis of the contents of the papers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History, they say, has a filthy tongue. In the case of colonial theatre in America, what we know about performance has come from the detractors of theatre and not its producers. Yet this does not account for the flourishing theatrical circuit established between 1760 and 1776. This study explores the culture's social support of the theatre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the Protestants gain a monopoly over the running of Ireland and replace the Catholics as rulers and landowners? To answer this question, Toby Barnard: - Examines the Catholics' attempt to regain control over their own affairs, first in the 1640s and then between 1689 and 1691 - Outlines how military defeats doomed the Catholics to subjection, allowing Protestants to tighten their grip over the government - Studies in detail the mechanisms - both national and local - through which Protestant control was exercised Focusing on the provinces as well as Dublin, and on the subjects as well as the rulers, Barnard draws on an abundance of unfamiliar evidence to offer unparalleled insights into Irish lives during a troubled period.

Download or read book Early Modern Tragicomedy written by Subha Mukherji and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2007 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh explorations of the tragicomic drama, setting the familiar plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries alongside Irish and European drama. Tragicomedy is one of the most important dramatic genres in Renaissance literature, and the essays collected here offer stimulating new perspectives and insights, as well as providing broad introductions to arguably lesser-known European texts. Alongside the chapters on Classical, Italian, Spanish, and French material, there are striking and fresh approaches to Shakespeare and his contemporaries -- to the origins of mixed genre in English, to the development of Shakespearean and Fletcherian drama, to periodization in Shakespeare's career, to the language of tragicomedy, and to the theological structure of genre. The collection concludes with two essays on Irish theatre and its interactions with the London stage, further evidence of the persistent and changing energy of tragicomedy in the period.

Download or read book Actors Audiences and Emotions in the Eighteenth Century written by Glen McGillivray and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an innovative account of how audiences and actors emotionally interacted in the English theatre during the middle decades of the eighteenth century, a period bookended by two of its stars: David Garrick and Sarah Siddons. Drawing upon recent scholarship on the history of emotions, it uses practice theory to challenge the view that emotional interactions between actors and audiences were governed by empathy. It carefully works through how actors communicated emotions through their voices, faces and gestures, how audiences appraised these performances, and mobilised and regulated their own emotional responses. Crucially, this book reveals how theatre spaces mediated the emotional practices of audiences and actors alike. It examines how their public and frequently political interactions were enabled by these spaces.
