Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heirs of Rabourdin: A Comedy in Three Acts The production of The Heirs of Rabourdin was a mistake. I own it frankly, adding that I alone am the culprit. But the selection of this play was not a vulgar error of judgment, nor was it the result of thoughtless impulse. I had good and sound reasons for resuscitating this farce, which (in so far as English people knew) had been slumbering for twenty years in well-deserved oblivion. In the first place I like the play; I think it clever, simple, direct, humorous, though much spun out and harping on one string. That is simply a matter of opinion. Secondly: the play was not tried under favourable circumstances in France; it was produced at the Theatre Beaumarchais - a, what we would call, transpontine theatre. Thirdly: the very fact that the play was demolished with fury in Paris clearly proves that partiality had its hand in the game. Zola had not for nothing written feuilleton after feuilleton of mordant theatrical criticism. They were waiting for him, and when, the bold man that he is, he came forward with this farce, they turned their pens into clubs and struck at him.

Download or read book English Theatre in Transition 1881 1914 written by James Woodfield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984. The turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was a time of considerable change in the English theatre. Victorian attitudes were shocked or shattered by the new drama of Ibsen; the major figure of George Bernard Shaw dominated the period; theatre censorship was the subject of a long and furious contest; and staging conventions changed from the spectacular stylings of Irving and Beerbohm Tree to the masking and statuesque styles of Isadora Duncan and the inner realism of Stanislavsky. This book traces the activities of the leading figures in the English theatre, notably William Archer who introduced Ibsen to this country and who became one of the main promoters of the idea of a National Theatre. Other personalities discussed include Harley Granville Barker, particularly his association with Shaw at the Court Theatre and his part in campaigns against censorship and for changes in the staging of Shakespeare, and Edward Gordon Craig, whose rebellion against the Victorian theatre took and anti-realist direction. This is a stimulating account of the background to the modern English theatre which can only increase appreciation of its standard and variety.

Book excerpt: Nicoll's History, which tells the story of English drama from the reopening of the theatres at the time of the Restoration right through to the end of the Victorian period, was viewed by Notes and Queries (1952) as 'a great work of exploration, a detailed guide to the untrodden acres of our dramatic history, hitherto largely ignored as barren and devoid of interest'.
