Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pure Folly: The Story of Those Remakable People the Follies Fourteen years ago, when the entertainments provided on piers and in special enclosures for the amusement of visitors to the smaller seaside resorts were for the most part barely tolerable, though generously tolerated by uncritical audiences, a company of pierrots at Worthing attracted particular attention. Their performance was distinguished by a freshness of style, a natural spirit of humour, and an ingenuous enjoyment of their own entertainment, which suggested the amateur, rather than the professional, artist; and amateurs they were, in the sense that none of the company bad had any professional experience. They had come to stay - to create and establish in England a new school of humour, a new interpretation of the art of burlesque, a form of entertainment worthy of something more than the term " entertainment," a vogue which has gradually developed into an institution. To-day, instead of touring seaside towns, staying a night here, two nights somewhere else, or at the most a week in one place, the Follies have from month to month been drawing crowded audiences, representing all classes, to one of the principal West End theatres of London. While other playhouses suffer from the effects of temporary adverse influences, the Follies defy the effects of trade depression, the usual summer exodus from town, heat, snow, and fog. Theatre managers and playwrights, who regarded them with tolerant approval two years ago, have now discovered in this company of nine a real power, the influence of which cannot be ignored and has to be reckoned with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, London theatre has celebrated a rich and influential history, and in 1976, the first volume of J. P. Wearing’s reference series provided scholars and other researchers with an indispensable resource of these productions. In the decades since the original calendars were produced, several research aids have become available, notably various reference works and the digitization of important newspapers and relevant periodicals. The London Stage 1900-1909 A Calendar of Productions, Performers, and Personnel, Second Edition provides a chronological calendar of London shows from January 1900 through December 1909. The volume chronicles more than 3,000 productions at 35 selected, major central London theatres during this period. For each entry the following information is provided: Title Author Theatre Performers Personnel Opening and Closing Dates Number of Performances Other details include genre of the production, number of acts, and references to reviews. A comment section includes other interesting information, such as a plot description, the first-night reception by the audience, noteworthy performances, staging elements, and details of performances in New York either prior to or after the London production. Among the plays staged in London during this decade were Candida, His House in Order, The Only Way, The Playboy of the Western World, Raffles (The Amateur Cracksman), and The Scarlet Pimpernel, as well as numerous musical comedies (British and American), foreign works, operas, and revivals of English classics. A definitive resource, this edition revises, corrects, and expands the original, well-received calendar. In addition, approximately 20 percent of the material—in particular, information of adaptations and translations, plot sources, and comment information—is new. Arranged chronologically, the shows are indexed fully by title, genre, and theatre. A general index also includes numerous subject entries on such topics as acting, audiences, censorship, costumes, managers, performers, prompters, staging, ticket prices, or other relevant subjects. An authoritative reference providing essential details, this work will be of value to scholars, theatrical personnel, librarians, writers, journalists, and historians.

Download or read book Don t Forget The Pierrots The Complete History of British Pierrot Troupes Concert Parties written by Tony Lidington and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first authoritative historical textbook to look at the origins, development and evolution of seaside pierrot troupes and concert parties and their popular performance heritage. It will provide, for the first time, a definition of the pierrot troupe and its evolution from the roots of European popular traditions such as the commedia dell’arte and minstrelsy, to links between music hall and contemporary popular culture. Tony Lidington will explore how pierrot troupes grew from a single idea into a major international cultural industry and how it boosted morale and national identity during the two World Wars, before sublimating into contemporary pop music and comedy. Tony’s continuing practice as research provides an experiential framework for the historical and ethnographic analysis of the form. This book will be of vital interest to students, researchers, and performers of outdoor (al fresco) arts, clowning and comedy, minstrelsy, vernacular music-making and music hall.

Download or read book A Social History of British Performance Cultures 1900 1939 written by Maggie B. Gale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a new social history of British performance cultures in the early decades of the twentieth century, where performance across stage and screen was generated by dynamic and transformational industries. Exploring an era book-ended by wars and troubled by social unrest and political uncertainty, A Social History of British Performance Cultures 1900–1939 makes use of the popular material cultures produced by and for the industries – autobiographies, fan magazines and trade journals, as well as archival holdings, popular sketches, plays and performances. Maggie B. Gale looks at how the performance industries operated, circulated their products and self-regulated their professional activities, in a period where enfranchisement, democratization, technological development and legislation shaped the experience of citizenship. Through close examination of material evidence and a theoretical underpinning, this book shows how performance industries reflected and challenged this experience, and explored the ways in which we construct our ‘performance’ as participants in the public realm. Suited not only to scholars and students of British theatre and theatre history, but to general readers as well, A Social History of British Performance Cultures 1900–1939 offers an original intervention into the construction of British theatre and performance histories, offering new readings of the relationship between the material cultures of performance, the social, professional and civic contexts from which they arise, and on which they reflect.
