Download or read book Saved written by Edward Bond and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described by its author as 'almost irresponsibly optimistic', Saved is a play set in London in the sixties. Its subject is the cultural poverty and frustration of a generation of young people on the dole and living on council estates. The play was first staged privately in November 1965 at the Royal Court Theatre before members of the English Stage Society in a time when plays were still censored. With its scenes of violence, including the stoning of a baby, Saved became a notorious play and a cause célèbre. In a letter to the Observer, Sir Laurence Olivier wrote: 'Saved is not a play for children but it is for grown-ups, and the grown-ups of this country should have the courage to look at it.' Saved has had a marked influence on a whole new generation writing in the 1990s. Edward Bond is "a great playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright" (Independent)

Download or read book Theatre of the Unimpressed written by Jordan Tannahill and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How dull plays are killing theatre and what we can do about it. Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendencethat kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between? A lot of plays are dull. And one dull play, it seems, can turn us off theatre for good. Playwright and theatre director Jordan Tannahill takes in the spectrum of English-language drama – from the flashiest of Broadway spectacles to productions mounted in scrappy storefront theatres – to consider where lifeless plays come from and why they persist. Having travelled the globe talking to theatre artists, critics, passionate patrons and the theatrically disillusioned, Tannahill addresses what he considers the culture of ‘risk aversion’ paralyzing the form. Theatre of the Unimpressed is Tannahill’s wry and revelatory personal reckoning with the discipline he’s dedicated his life to, and a roadmap for a vital twenty-first-century theatre – one that apprehends the value of ‘liveness’ in our mediated age and the necessity for artistic risk and its attendant failures. In considering dramaturgy, programming and alternative models for producing, Tannahill aims to turn theatre from an obligation to a destination. ‘[Tannahill is] the poster child of a new generation of (theatre? film? dance?) artists for whom "interdisciplinary" is not a buzzword, but a way of life.’ —J. Kelly Nestruck, Globe and Mail ‘Jordan is one of the most talented and exciting playwrights in the country, and he will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.’ —Nicolas Billon, Governor General's Award–winning playwright (Fault Lines)

Excerpt: ...after thee; and acting upon thy supposed infallibility, only to fall down in bitter, crushing, and ignominious defeat and rum. The world empire seekers--Alexander, Pompey, Napoleon. The vainly seeking and disappointed president aspirants; Webster, Greeley, Blaine. OPPORTUNITY! Oh! William Shakespeare, thou inistaketh somewhat in this fascinating speech of Brutus', if thou nieantcst it for pure truth. A fateful moment of "a tide in the affairs of men?" Ahl Sweet truth, this sentiment might apply to worldly--to selfish, designing, weak men; but to true men--never! There is no ebb and flow in the afiairs of true men--those great unselfish souls who bear undaunted the burden of Life, and ascend the high reared summits of eternal honor. They do not ponder, and anxiously await an opportune moment; but walk serenely on to their high appointed places, unmindful of what weak men call, opportunity. True men, and all truly great men, are sublimely unconscious, that there ever was "a tide" or time in their simple, natural, dutiful careers, in which they could have acted in a different manner than the straight and narrow path of truth and honest conduct; or by any other route ascended to that place which it was their right and sure destiny to obtain and fill. Bah! Feed opportunity to jingoes, ambitious men, and slot-machines; but to true men feed purity of soul and noble and steadfast purpose. " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you." Bah! This weak doctrine of Opportunity. Editors of the current magazine, "Success," remove this false doctrine from your columns. Teach your young readers to live the life of Truth. of Israel. To toe the mark. To...

Book excerpt: Good evening. I'm Inspector Carter. Take my case. This must be Charles Haversham! I'm sorry, this must've given you all a damn shock. After benefitting from a large and sudden inheritance, the inept and accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society embark on producing an ambitious 1920s murder mystery. They are delighted that neither casting issues nor technical hitches currently stand in their way. However, hilarious disaster ensues and the cast start to crack under the pressure, but can they get the production back on track before the final curtain falls? The Play That Goes Wrong is a farcical murder mystery, a play within a play, conceived and performed by award-winning company Theatre Mischief. It was first published as a one-act play and is published in this new edition as a two-act play.
