Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Provincetown Plays In the plays contained in this volume, and in others not published or published in previous col lections, there are touches that, to those Of us who can supply from our memories, reveal the spirit Of the Players. This is the best that art can do. To all art we must bring something not contained in it, to see it as art. We must see the unattained youthful effort. If there is a glimpse of that, it is all we can hope for in an unrealized world. These ten are not the best plays ever written; but they are written in a pure spirit; they sprang from an attempt made by a group Of men and women to express something Sincerely, with no regard for fame, money, or power - and what ever they have Of value is due to that. If the Provincetown Players had not been formed, in unusual degree, with the purity of youth and ehrt, so many of them would not, in all likelihood, in this brief time have died. It was not an accident. They gave themselves un reservedly to life, and it was eternity, rather than death, that took them. Among those, of the Players who remain there are some who remain unwillingly. Whom the gods love die young, and if some Of those who remain are loved Of the gods, it is because they are already living beyond in Spirit, and are held here for the purpose of fulfilling some mundane obligation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Provincetown Plays As these little plays go to press, the news comes of the death of John Reed, of the original group who formed the Players seven or eight summers ago at Provincetown. Reed was a pure spirit, held completely by what his imagination saw. He acted without reserve and had no prudence. His life was determined by real values. With a gay smile he gave himself to what he saw as beautiful, no matter where it might lead - to ostracism, to prison, to death. He did not express himself solemnly, but he lived a life of passionate devotion to the best, as he saw it. Reed joins in death several others of the Players who went before; all, but one, young, like him; all, like him, devoted, and careless of the world, careful of the spirit - so reckless and unafraid. "Hutch" Collins, who challenged life at every moment; Pendleton King; Fenimore Merrill; Nani Bailey, who loved all but herself; Alice Mac-dougall, and the beautiful Mary Pyne, who quietly understood all that youth and age know, and Mrs. E. E. Cook, the oldest member of the Players, but young in spirit. Youth and death are close companions. United, they are of the eternal. As age comes, youth and death are separated. Only while they are united is art there. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Hairy Ape written by Eugene O'Neill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hairy Ape: Anna Christie; The First Man Scene - The firemen's forecastle of a transatlantic liner an hour after sailing from New York for the voyage across. Tiers of narrow, steel bunks, three deep, on all sides. An entrance in rear. Benches on the floor before the bunks. The room is crowded with men, shouting, cursing, laughing, singing - a confused, inchoate uproar swelling into a sort of unity, a meaning - the bewildered, furious, baffled defiance of a beast in a cage. Nearly all the men are drunk. Many bottles are passed from hand to hand. All are dressed in dungaree pants, heavy ugly shoes. Some wear singlets, but the majority are stripped to the waist. The treatment of this scene, or of any other scene in the play, should by no means be naturalistic. The effect sought after is a cramped space in the bowels of a ship, imprisoned by white steel. The lines of bunks, the uprights supporting them, cross each other like the steel framework of a cage. The ceiling crushes down upon the men's heads. They cannot stand upright. This accentuates the natural stooping posture which shovelling coal and the resultant over-development of back and shoulder muscles have given them.

Download or read book Intertextuality in American Drama written by Drew Eisenhauer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new essays in this collection, on such diverse writers as Eugene O'Neill, Susan Glaspell, Thornton Wilder, Arthur Miller, Maurine Dallas Watkins, Sophie Treadwell, and Washington Irving, fill an important conceptual gap. The essayists offer numerous approaches to intertextuality: the influence of the poetry of romanticism and Shakespeare and of histories and novels, ideological and political discourses on American playwrights, unlikely connections between such writers as Miller and Wilder, the problems of intertexts in translation, the evolution in historical and performance contexts of the same tale, and the relationships among feminism, the drama of the courtroom, and the drama of the stage. Intertextuality has been an under-explored area in studies of dramatic and performance texts. The innovative findings of these scholars testify to the continuing vitality of research in American drama and performance.
