Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Victorian and Edwardian Theatre by : Kerry Powell
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Victorian and Edwardian Theatre written by Kerry Powell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2004 Companion is designed for readers interested in the creation, production and interpretation of Victorian and Edwardian theatre, both in its own time and on the contemporary stage. The volume opens with a brief overview and introduction surveying the theatre of the time followed by an essay contextualizing the theatre within the frame of Victorian and Edwardian culture as a whole. Succeeding chapters examine specific aspects of performance, production, and theatre, including the music, the actors, stagecraft and the audiences themselves; plays and playwriting and issues of class and gender are also explored. Chapters also deal with comedy, farce and melodrama, while other essays bring forward new topics and approaches that cross the boundaries of traditional investigation, including analysis of the economics of theatre and of the theatricality of personal identity.
Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of British Theatre by : Darryll Grantley
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of British Theatre written by Darryll Grantley and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British theatre has a greater tradition than any other, having started all the way back in 1311 and still going strong today. But that is too much for one book to cover, so this volume deals with early theatre and has a cut-off date in 1899. Still, this is almost six centuries, centuries during which British theatre not only developed but produced some of the greatest playwrights of all time and anywhere, including obviously Shakespeare but also Marlowe and Shaw. And they wrote some of the finest plays ever, which are known around the world. So there is plenty for this book to cover, just with the playwrights, plays and actors, but it also has information on stagecraft and theatres, as well as the historical and political background. This book has over 1,183 entries in the dictionary section, these being mainly on playwrights and plays, but others as well including managers and critics, and also on specific theatres, legislative acts and some technical jargon. Then there are entries on the different genres, from comedy to tragedy and everything in between. Inevitably, the chronology is quite long as it has a long period to cover and the introduction provides the necessary overview. The Historical Dictionary of Early British Theatre concludes with a pretty massive bibliography. That will be of use to particularly assiduous researchers, but this book itself is a good place to start any research since it covers periods that are far less well-known and documented, and ordinary theatre-goers will also find useful information.

Book Synopsis The Living Drama by : Nellie Burget Miller
Download or read book The Living Drama written by Nellie Burget Miller and published by . This book was released on 1924 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study will endeavor to present, in simple and concise form, a survey of this continuous dramatic movement from its earliest recorded expression to contemporary moments under a single cover. Since to know thoroughly the dramatic output of any one period might command the industry of a lifetime, the task is a colossal one and precludes any pretense at completeness; the treatment is suggestive rather than informative, and should be supplemented by a study of the plays indicated under each section. After all, the important thing is not the painful piling of fact upon fact but gaining an intelligent working knowledge of the whole and knowing exactly where to turn for detail when it is needed. The information has been gathered from many works upon the various phases, to which the writer is deeply indebted, all of which are indicated in the bibliographies. We purpose, then, to take a sort of ''Cook's Tour'' over the whole domain of the drama, touching the main points of interest, and leaving the reader to return and explore at leisure.

Book excerpt: While a frequently used term, Jewish Theatre has become a contested concept that defies precise definition. Is it theatre by Jews? For Jews? About Jews? Though there are no easy answers for these questions, Jewish Theatre: A Global View, contributes greatly to the conversation by offering an impressive collection of original essays written by an international cadre of noted scholars from Europe, the United States, and Israel.
