Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Charm, and Other Drawing-Room Plays IN considering the drawing-room Comedy we ought to discuss first of all the exigencies of the stage on which such Comedy is likely to be played. For it may happen to be a small stage. Very few drawing-rooms, except those which belong to large houses, are able to provide a stage broad enough for many characters and for strong situations. The stage must not be crowded with personages whose movements may be hampered by want of space. Again, such a stage may possibly have very little depth, which is another reason for keep ing the situations as much as possible quiet and free from overmuch movement.

It must be considered that while a room, a hall, or a simple outside view may be easily represented, very little more can be attempted, and as a general rule there must be very little or no change of scenery.

Book excerpt: Playing Jane Austen is the original dramatization of Jane Austen's work. The collection was first published in 1895 as Duologues and Scenes from the Novels of Jane Austen Arranged and Adapted for Drawing-Room Performance by Victorian feminist and actor Rosina Filippi. Filippi adapted memorable scenes from Austen into one-act plays for performance, and along with stage directions and advice on the correct silks and muslins to wear, her parlor plays evoke the romance of Victorian drawing-room entertainment at its very best.

Book excerpt: Finalist, 2015 Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Drama Discharged from the Marines under suspicious circumstances, Isaac comes home from the wars, only to find the life he remembers upended. Isaac’s father, who once ruled the family with an iron fist, has had a debilitating stroke; his younger sister, Maxine, is now his brother, Max; and their mother, Paige, is committed to revolution at any cost. Determined to be free of any responsibility toward her formerly abusive husband—or the home he created—Paige fervently believes she can lead the way to a "new world order." Hir, Taylor Mac’s subversive comedy, leaves many of our so-called normative and progressive ideas about gender, families, the middle class—and cleaning—in hilarious and ultimately tragic disarray.

Download or read book Drawing-Room Plays written by Adelaide Cadogan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On one occasion Garrick was present in a country house at a performance of "Hamlet." On the conclusion of the play he was pressed to give his opinion of the acting. The great actor, after some hesitation, commended the manner in which the Players' King had played his part. Now this very minor part had been acted by a scene shifter of his own theatre. Whether Garrick was aware of this, history records not; but his preference of the humblest professional to the most accomplished amateur is a warning to the latter. Lady Adelaide Cadogan seems to have had this anecdote in mind when she selected and adapted these plays from the French. They are written for amateurs, being absolutely free from the enthusiasm and passion of tragedy and comedy. When we speak of them as farces, we are by no means blind to their merits. They are what they profess to be -short, amusing, unobjectionable in tone, and easy to act. Of the seven plays, "Well Matched After All" is the one that most nearly approaches the level of comedy; while "Bric-a-Brac" is perhaps the most entertaining. The success of "Well Matched" would greatly depend on the acting of Rooney, the old Irish servant A good brogue is as refreshing in a drawing-room piece as sunshine in a landscape. It is very probable, however, that while " Well Matched" is the best comedy to read, "How Happy Could I Be with Either?" might prove the best to act. The scene in which Mr. Tremayne reads the Queen and the Times at the same time Lady Susan and her niece would convulse e audience if acted with* spirit. There is always an "if"; but we can say that Lady Adelaide's plays will repay time arid trouble- the only royal road to good acting. We must not close this brief notice without a word of hearty commendation for the illustrations, by E. Z. Shute. -The Academy - Vol. 34 [1888]

Download or read book Ornament and the Grotesque written by Alessandra Zamperini and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2008-10-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavish survey of the grotesque style in European painting and decoration, from Roman times to the late nineteenth century. In the fifteenth century, the ruins of Nero's Domus Aurea were discovered in Rome. The first explorers to enter the interior of this spectacular palace complex had the sensation of finding themselves in a series of grottoes, and this is why the fanciful frescoes and floor mosaics discovered there were called "grotesques." A fashionable form of ornamentation in ancient Rome, grotesques consist of loosely connected motifs, often incorporating human figures, birds, animals, and monsters, and arranged around medallions filled with painted scenes. Fifteenth-century artists such as Perugino, Signorelli, Filippino Lippi, and Mantegna copied the ancient Roman examples; the most famous use of the style was Raphael's Loggie in the Vatican Palace, which became immensely famous and influential all over Europe. This magnificently illustrated book covers the entire history of the grotesque in European art, from its Roman origins through the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century. It illuminates how grotesque decoration was transformed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries into arabesque, chinoiserie, and singeries, and how it continued in the nineteenth century, leading eventually to Art Nouveau. 250 color illustrations.
