Book The Old German Puppet Play of Doctor Faust

Download or read book The Old German Puppet Play of Doctor Faust written by Wilhelm Von Hamm and published by Theclassics.Us. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX. NOTE 1. Bonneschky's version of the Puppet-play, it is worthy of remark, has no "vorspiel," or prelude. In this respect it follows the plan of Marlowe's tragedy, and is in keeping with any representation of " Faust" that I have seen upon the stage. In view of the fact, however, that Goethe and Lessing (if we may accept as accurate the information we possess with regard to the hitter's scheme of a drama), both had recourse to a prelude in the construction of their " Fausts," it cannot be without interest to note that a Vorspiel is to be found in at least three of the versions of the Puppet-play which have been preserved. These versions are, --(i) Doctor Johann Faust, Schauspiel in zwei Theilen, vom Ulmer Puppentheater, abgedruckt Kloster v. s. 783-805; (2) Der Weltberiihmte Doctor Faust, Schauspiel in fiinf Aufziigen, vom Strassburger Puppentheater, abgedruckt Kloster v. s. 853-883; (3) Das Volksschauspiel Doctor Johann Faust, herausgegeben von Karl Engel, Oldenburg, 1874. The character of the Vorspiel in all three is very similar. The Ulm version opens with a scene in Hades. The dramatis personae are, --Pluto, Charon, and Devils. Charon begins, complaining that he has too few souls to ferry over the Stygian river, and requesting Pluto to mend matters by despatching fiends to the earth to seduce more souls. Pluto acquiesces, and at once sends devils upon the mission. The play then turns to Faust In Engel's version the same idea is somewhat more elaborately wrought up. The scene is laid amid dreadful rocks and caves, with red fire illumination. Scene I. Charon, the ferryman of hell, enters, carrying under his arm a rudder marked with magic characters. In a loud voice he complains that he will no longer continue to ply over Styx and...

Book Paul McPharlin and the Puppet Theater

Download or read book Paul McPharlin and the Puppet Theater written by Ryan Howard and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-07-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul McPharlin is one of the 20th century's most important contributors to the art of puppetry. Over a period of nine years he created some 20 productions with marionettes, rod puppets, hand puppets and shadow figures. He was also a prolific writer whose technical, theoretical and historical works contributed significantly to a puppetry revival. His book The Puppet Theatre in America is considered the definitive history of American puppetry. Though shy and aloof, McPharlin was also energetic. He had an ability to bring people together and used this knack to found a national puppetry organization, Puppeteers of America. Besides the author's extensive research on McPharlin and puppetry, the book draws on significant contributions from McPharlin's wife, puppeteer and author Marjorie Batchelder McPharlin, who allowed the use of her 18-year correspondence with Paul in the creation of the book. Chapters take the reader through McPharlin's childhood as a loner in Detroit, his maturation and education in New York, and his early, erratic and often unsuccessful attempts at making a living. His puppeteering years, 1929 to 1937, are detailed, as are the later years that saw him first working for the WPA and then being drafted into the army to serve in World War II at age 38. He continued making important contributions to the art of puppetry until a brain tumor took his life at age 45 in 1948. Appendices present two of McPharlin's plays, The Barn at Bethlehem: A Christmas Play and Punch's Circus. Another appendix details puppetry imprints, including yearbooks, plays, handbooks, worksheets and books. A fourth lists Paul McPharlin's Puppeteers, members of the Marionette Fellowship of Detroit.
