Book Synopsis Strategies of Political Theatre by : Michael Patterson
Download or read book Strategies of Political Theatre written by Michael Patterson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-22 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a theoretical framework for some of the most important play-writing in Britain in the second half of the twentieth century. Examining representative plays by Arnold Wesker, John Arden, Trevor Griffith, Howard Barker, Howard Brenton, Edward Bond, David Hare, John McGrath and Caryl Churchill, the author analyses their respective strategies for persuading audiences of the need for a radical restructuring of society. The book begins with a discussion of the way that theatre has been used to convey a political message. Each chapter is then devoted to an exploration of the engagement of individual playwrights with left-wing political theatre, including a detailed analysis of one of their major plays. Despite political change since the 1980s, political play-writing continues to be a significant element in contemporary play-writing, but in a very changed form.
Book Synopsis Caroline's Kitchen by : Torben Betts
Download or read book Caroline's Kitchen written by Torben Betts and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monogamy means sharing your life with one person, but what if you shared your kitchen with 5.6 million? Caroline Mortimer, the nation's favourite TV cook, has it all – a sparkling career, a big house in Highgate, a (golf) loving husband, smart kids and the best kitchen money can buy. But beneath the immaculate furnishings, studio lighting and away from the glare of the ever-present cameras – Caroline must face the looming collision of living a private life in the public eye. What happens when the cameras turn off and the truth comes out? Caroline's Kitchen serves up deft dialogue in absurd situations: "Betts paints a wonderfully lurid picture of the middle classes, juxtaposed with the fragility of those who serve them" (The Stage). First performed as Monogamy at Malvern Theatre starring Janie Dee, it then embarked on a national tour. It is a searing, sharp, state of the nation comedy from one of the UK's most exciting playwrights, Torben Betts.

Book Synopsis The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil by : John McGrath
Download or read book The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil written by John McGrath and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written during the 1970s, John McGrath's winding, furious, innovative play tracks the economic history and exploitation of the Scottish Highlands from the post-Rebellion suppression of the clans to the story of the Clearances: in the nineteenth century, aristocratic landowners discovered the profitability of sheep farming, and forced a mass emigration of rural Highlanders, burning their houses in order to make way for the Cheviot sheep. The play follows the thread of capitalist and repressive exploitation through the estates of the stag-hunting landed gentry, to the 1970s rush for profit in the name of North Sea Oil. Described by the playwright as having a “ceilidh” format, The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil draws on historical research alongside Gaelic song and the Scots' love of variety and popular entertainment to tell this epic story. A totally distinctive cultural and theatrical phenomenon, the play championed several new approaches to theatre, raising its profile as a means of political intervention; proposing a collective, democratic, collaborative approach to creating theatre; offering a language of performance accessible to working-class people; producing theatre in non-purpose-built theatre spaces; breaking down the barrier between audience and performers through interaction; and taking theatre to people who otherwise would not access it. The play received its premiere in 1973 by the agit-prop theatre group 7:84, of which John McGrath was founder and Artistic Director, and toured Scotland to great critical and audience acclaim.
Download or read book Hard Feelings written by Doug Lucie and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're supposed to be having a party. It's s'posed to be fun. This is my house, and when I say everybody have fun, then everybody have fun. Thatcher's Britain – Brixton, 1981. As tensions mount on the streets, in the safety of their home, a group of Oxford University graduates barely notice what's happening on the streets outside as police and rioters clash, shops are looted, and buildings are set on fire. In both worlds there is a fight for rights... a fight for respect ... a fight for control. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will make the strongest cocktail? And when the dust finally settles the question remains... Will things ever change? Hard Feelings was first staged at the Oxford Playhouse in 1982 before transferring to the Bush Theatre in 1983, directed by Mike Bradwell. It was later broadcast as a BBC Play for Today. Hard Feelings was revived by Defibrillator Productions in a production at the Finborough Theatre in 2013.
Download or read book The Weatherman written by Eugene O'Hare and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't know where I stand with the weatherman these days. One day it's all warm and breezy and the next old Jack Frost comes to take the skin off your back. A twelve year old Romanian girl is trafficked into London. Her captor, a city landlord known as Dollar, entrusts her to the care of his tenants O'Rourke and Beezer; a pair of down-and-out bachelors sharing lodgings in the East End. But with no reliable details of the girl's past, vague speculation as to the reason for her arrival and no common language with which to communicate, for how long and at what price can the involvement of her new guardians be bought? Eugene O'Hare's debut black comedy shines a light on complicity, power and the secrets and lies woven behind closed doors and examines the no go lines that are crossed when it's too dangerous to run away.
