Book Synopsis The 101 Greatest Plays by : Michael Billington
Download or read book The 101 Greatest Plays written by Michael Billington and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having surveyed post-war British drama in State of the Nation, Michael Billington now looks at the global picture. In this provocative and challenging new book, he offers his highly personal selection of the 100 greatest plays ranging from the Greeks to the present-day. But his book is no mere list. Billington justifies his choices in extended essays- and even occasional dialogues- that put the plays in context, explain their significance and trace their performance history. In the end, it's a book that poses an infinite number of questions. What makes a great play? Does the definition change with time and circumstance? Or are certain common factors visible down the ages? It's safe to say that it's a book that, in revising the accepted canon, is bound to stimulate passionate argument and debate. Everyone will have strong views on Billington's chosen hundred and will be inspired to make their own selections. But, coming from Britain's longest-serving theatre critic, these essays are the product of a lifetime spent watching and reading plays and record the adventures of a soul amongst masterpieces.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plays, Pleasant and Unpleasant, Vol. 2: Containing the Four Pleasant Plays Readers of the discourse with which the preceding Volume is prefaced will remember that I turned my hand to playwriting when a great deal of talk about the New Drama, and the actual establishment of a New Theatre (the Independent), threatened to end in the humiliating discovery that the New Drama, in Eng land at least, was a figment of the revolutionary imagina tion. This was not to be endured. I had rashly taken up the case; and rather than let it collapse, I manu factured the evidence.

Book Synopsis Shakespeare: the Roman Plays by : Derek Traversi
Download or read book Shakespeare: the Roman Plays written by Derek Traversi and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare: The Last Phase A number of critics have suggested that I have laid too much stress on the symbolic and religious elements ln the final plays at the expense of those of romance and fantasy. The tendency to read explicit statements of Christian belief into Shakespeare seems to me indeed to have been carried considerably too far in certain places. I do not myself believe that much can usefully be said concerning Shakes peare's personal beliefs, and I am certain that none of his plays were written to illustrate religious dogmas or to point preconceived moral judgements; but - I must add - it seems to me no more than natural that a writer of his t1me and place should be aware of Christian tradition as an influence moulding his thought and that he should even seek, in his latest plays, to present in terms of a highly personal reading of that tradition some of his final conclusions about life. For taking the plays seriously, for reading them as something more than poetic fantasies in dramatic form, I offer no apology; their seriousness and originality seem to me to be clearly written on practically every page.
