Book excerpt: A satisfying part of the theatrical record by a theater veteran -- the theater of stock in the sticks and gone forever trouping. She gives a full production to life on tour, from her own trials and tribulations as a near-sighted stage-struck girl, to the way up the ladder to leading woman and the personal events of her career. The unending grind of stock and road company work is fully realized: the close attention small towns pay to their stock companies, the calamities on stage and off, the techniques of shaking the scenery. All the while guarding the dream of New York -- and always an annual failure there. The types of leading man, the characteristics of audiences, the problems of wardrobes give way to the passing of the local and/or touring companies. And in the end, a Broadway hit in "Life with Mother" and the terrific sentimental effect of her return to the stage.

Download or read book Blockbusters of Victorian Theater 1850 1910 written by Paul Fryer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection of essays details a wide-ranging selection of some of the most sensationally successful theatre productions of the long Victorian era, the real "blockbusters" of the age. Ranging from the world of operetta and music hall to spectacular drama and sensational melodrama, the productions included provide the reader with definitive proof that the phenomenon of the "smash hit" show is not restricted to modern Broadway. This is a world that encompassed the ground-breaking stage technology of Ben Hur, the wide political impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin and the sheer creative originality of L'Enfant Prodigue. Supporting the "star" system, productions featured some of the greatest names of the period - Sir Henry Irving, Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, James O'Neill and Dion Boucicault. This was the very dawning of a new media age, which saw many of the productions transfer to the new world of silent cinema for the very first time

Download or read book East Lynne written by Ellen Wood and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-03-10 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Coward! Sneak! May good men shun him, from henceforth! may his Queen refuse to receive him! You, an earl's daughter! Oh, Isabel! How utterly you have lost yourself!' When the aristocratic Lady Isabel abandons her husband and children for her wicked seducer, more is at stake than moral retribution. Ellen Wood played upon the anxieties of the Victorian middle classes who feared a breakdown of the social order as divorce became more readily available and promiscuity threatened the sanctity of the family. In her novel the simple act of hiring a governess raises the spectres of murder, disguise, and adultery. Her sensation novel was devoured by readers from the Prince of Wales to Joseph Conrad and continued to fascinate theatre-goers and cinema audiences well into the next century. This edition returns for the first time to the racy, slang-ridden narrative of the first edition, rather than the subsequent stylistically 'improved' versions hitherto reproduced by modern editors. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
