Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harold Pinter, figure de proue du théâtre anglais depuis plus de quatre décennies, aime davantage faire du théâtre qu'en parler. Mais sa réticence à recevoir des journalistes s'est peu à peu évaporée devant la finesse de Mel Gussow, critique au New York Times, à qui il a accordé une suite d'entretiens, à Londres et à New York, sur une période de plus de vingt ans. Réunies en un volume, ces conversations jettent une lumière particulièrement éclairante sur l'œuvre du dramaturge. De ses débuts difficiles - et contestés - avec l'Anniversaire à son engagement politique croissant dans des pièces telles que Un pour la route et Langue de la montagne ; des sources de son inspiration à la maturation de chaque oeuvre et sa création sur scène ; de ses souvenirs d'enfance à ses amitiés artistiques et ses goûts littéraires ; de ses réflexions sur le temps et la mémoire à sa lutte contre l'autorité et les autorités ; l'écrivain se confie au critique, lui permettant de brosser un tableau juste et complet de l'itinéraire d'Harold Pinter, l'homme et l'artiste.

Book Synopsis Conversations with Miller by : Mel Gussow
Download or read book Conversations with Miller written by Mel Gussow and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times drama critic Mel Gussow first met Arthur Miller in 1963 during rehearsals of After the Fall, the play inspired by Miller's marriage to Marilyn Monroe. They then met regularly over the following forty years. Conversations with Miller records what was discussed at more than a dozen of these meetings. In the book, the author of Death of a Salesman, A View from the Bridge and The Crucible is astonishingly candid about everything from the personal to the political: his successes and disappointments in theatre, his role as an advocate of human rights, his staunch resistance to the United States Congressional witch hunts of the 1950s. He also speaks forthrightly about his relationship with Monroe. Personal, wise and often very funny, the result is a revealing self-portrait of one of the giants of twentieth-century literature, who was both a 'regular guy' and a fiercely original writer and thinker. Published to mark the centenary of Arthur Miller's birth, this new edition of Conversations of Miller features a new Foreword by Richard Eyre, former Artistic Director of the National Theatre, and an Afterword by publisher Nick Hern, in which both reflect on their own conversations with America's greatest playwright.

Download or read book Harold Pinter written by Basil Chiasson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book offers a thematic collection of critical essays, ideal for undergraduate courses on modern British theatre, on Harold Pinter's theatrical works, alongside new interviews with contemporary theatre practitioners. The life and works of Harold Pinter (1930–2008), a pivotal figure in British theatre, have been widely discussed, debated and celebrated internationally. For over five decades, Pinter's work traversed and redefined various forms and genres, constantly in dialogue with, and often impacting the work of, other writers, artists and activists. Combining a reconsideration of key Pinter scholarship with new contexts, voices and theoretical approaches, this book opens up fresh insights into the author's work, politics, collaborations and his enduring status as one of the world's foremost dramatists. Three sections re-contextualize Pinter as a cultural figure; explore and interrogate his influence on contemporary British playwriting; and offer a series of original interviews with theatre-makers engaging in the staging of Pinter's work today. Reconsiderations of Pinter's relationship to literary and theatrical movements such as Modernism and the Theatre of the Absurd; interrogations of the role of class, elitism and religious and cultural identity sit alongside chapters on Pinter's personal politics, specifically in relation to the Middle East.

Book Synopsis Pinter and Stoppard by : Carey Perloff
Download or read book Pinter and Stoppard written by Carey Perloff and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the STR Theatre Book Prize 2023 A LA Times best theater book of 2022 Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard, by most accounts the leading British playwrights of our time, might seem to come from very different aesthetic, cultural and political worlds. But as Carey Perloff's fascinating new book reveals, the two have much in common. By examining these contemporaries alongside one another and in the context of the rehearsal room, we can glean new insights and connections, including the impact of their Jewish background on their work and their passion for the details of stagecraft. Readers of Pinter and Stoppard: A Director's View will emerge with a set of tools for approaching their work in a performance environment and for unlocking the mysteries of the plays for audiences. Esteemed theatre director Carey Perloff draws upon her first-hand experience of working with both writers, creating case studies of particular plays in production to provide new ways of positioning the work today. 30 years after major criticism on both playwrights first emerged, this is a ripe moment for a fresh examination of the unique contribution of Pinter and Stoppard in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Pinter written by Martin Esslin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, the third edition of Pinter is an excellent analysis of Harold Pinter and his works. Written when Pinter was only a few plays old, the book draws on several sources, including interviews with Pinter himself, to comment on Pinter’s career, his aesthetic and philosophical choices, and his oeuvre as a writer. The section devoted to his individual plays has been arranged in a chronological manner to visually represent the growth of the playwright and the relationship shared between his early and later works. Esslin, known for coining the term ‘theatre of the absurd,’ was himself an inspiration to Pinter and hence, the book records an intellectual and creative exchange between the author and his subject. The book will be of interest to students of literature, drama, history as well as to an academically inclined theatre audience.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Absurdist Literature by : Michael Y. Bennett
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Absurdist Literature written by Michael Y. Bennett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Absurdist Literature is the first authoritative and definitive edited collection on absurdist literature. As a field-defining volume, the editor and the contributors are world leaders in this ever-exciting genre that includes some of the most important and influential writers of the twentieth century, including Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Edward Albee, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet, and Albert Camus. Ever puzzling and always refusing to be pinned down, this book does not attempt to define absurdist literature, but attempts to examine its major and minor players. As such, the field is indirectly defined by examining its constituent writers. Not only investigating the so-called “Theatre of the Absurd,” this volume wades deeply into absurdist fiction and absurdist poetry, expanding much of our previous sense of what constitutes absurdist literature. Furthermore, long overdue, approximately one-third of the book is devoted to marginalized writers: black, Latin/x, female, LGBTQ+, and non-Western voices.

Andrew Wyllie and Catherine Rees examine critical approaches and reactions to the major plays, charting the controversies which have arisen in response to Pinter's critiques of political and sexual issues. They consider criticism from the press and academics, on the themes of Absurdism, politics and gender identity. By placing this criticism in its historical context, this guide illustrates a transition from bewilderment and outrage to affection, fascination - and more outrage.
