Book Synopsis Len Jenkin's Theatre by : Robert J. Andreach
Download or read book Len Jenkin's Theatre written by Robert J. Andreach and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2011 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in his career, Len Jenkin identified two qualities that theatre should have: wonder and heart. Imagination creates wonder by transforming nature to suggest more than nature. Love engages the heart on the quest to experience the wonder, for though Jenkin is an experimental playwright, his plays are not abstruse symbols. They are tales that take salesmen and actresses, historical figures and fictional characters, through a Stein landscape and a Kafka story, pop culture, and recreated scenes from the Bible and The Canterbury Tales, The Aeneid, and Headlong Hall to an amusement park ride and a penal colony, a flophouse and a garden. Bodacious verbal and visual images build in power until they soar as pilgrims tell tales to pass the night while waiting to cross the river; Hawthorne, Sophie, and Melville on the beach hear the ever-encroaching kraken; and Margo Veil essays the roles that all questing mortals play in life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fantastical "Kafkaesque" journey through time and space. "TIME IN KAFKA is a playful, luminous trip ... Len Jenkins's 90-minute fantasy about a young scholar so in love with the work of Franz Kafka that he imagines the famous writer's spirit has appeared to tell him the whereabouts of a lost manuscript. What ensues is a poetic and often hilarious meditation on the mystical connection between writer and ardent - part dream reverie, part time travel and often mesmerizing theater ..." -Martha Heimberg, Turtle Creek News "TIME IN KAFKA is full of literary allusions, but it doesn't feel much like the work of its eponym, Franz Kafka. It's more like Thomas Mann on psychedelics." -Lawson Taitte, Dallas Morning News "'Time in Kafka is always broken. Every moment leads back to itself. Chronological and eternal.' The opening (and closing) lines for Len Jenkin's new play TIME IN KAFKA could not be more concise in their description of Kafka and the play itself, a fun romp ..." -Jennifer Smart, Pegasus News ..". one surprise after another ... a vibrant celebration." -Christopher Soden, Arts & Culture Magazine

Download or read book Port Twilight written by Len Jenkin and published by Broadway Play Publishing In. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subtitled "A History of Science (A Chronicle of Folly, Wisdom, and Madness)," PORT TWILIGHT has been described as "an end-times extraterrestrial vaudeville." "Len Jenkin's dark, whirling comedy, PORT TWILIGHT, follows several storylines as they trail throughout the fantasy city of the title. All of the stories involve what might be called decoding messages and 'alien contact.' ... thanks to Len Jenkin's language, PORT TWILIGHT makes for a haunting, mind-altering experience." -Jerome Weeks, Art & Seek ..". PORT TWILIGHT is a distinctly playful and yet somber, introspective piece about the foibles and heartbreak of humanity, and its quest for solutions ... It is one of the most original shows I have ever seen. It combines insouciance, weariness, zeal, cynicism, comic relief, melancholy, the indecipherable into a poetically wistful and radiant experience." -Christopher Soden, Pegasus News "Len Jenkin's zippy, atmospheric dialogue. There's a beautiful lyrical quality to it." -Jonathan Pacheco, Slant Magazine
Download or read book Five of Us written by Len Jenkin and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FIVE OF US deals with the parallel lives of New York tenement dwellers, who live next door to each other but whose paths do not cross until one fateful moment, which spells disaster for them all. One apartment is occupied by Mark, a young writer who churns out pornography while planning the "big novel" he will someday write, and his live-in girlfriend, Lee, an anthropology grad who works as a waitress. Their next-door neighbor is Herman, a mentally deficient messenger who speaks in a language all his own and amuses himself by calling 800 numbers to make hotel reservations he has no intention of keeping. When Lee is offered a chance to join an anthropological expedition to Sri Lanka, Mark is faced with a crisis - the loss of both her companionship and her income. With the connivance of his ex-con buddy, Eddie, a street-smart would-be mercenary, Mark decides to prop up his finances by robbing Herman's apartment, in the misguided belief that the poor eccentric has been hoarding money. But, instead, what they find is the bizarre detritus of a stunted life - a life which is abruptly ended when Herman, coming upon them, is startled into a fatal epileptic fit. Fearful and guilt-ridden, Mark and Eddie try to cover their tracks - but as the play ends it is also clear that no matter how far or fast they flee they will never escape the spectre of the lonely misfit whose pathetic world they have so thoughtlessly and fatally shattered. "FIVE OF US is a 10. Jenkin has a real genius for character." -The Hollywood Reporter ..". it proves that he not only has a vivid imagination but that he also has an artist's command of his craft." -The New York Times ..". a gripping, haunting experience that can't be dismissed lightly." -Drama-Logue ..". full of surprises and subversions, so that the expected keeps failing to happen, and the unexpected keeps happening, in new and absurdly ironic ways ... FIVE OF US is several kinds of a good play." -The Village Voice
Book Synopsis Playwriting, Dramaturgy and Space by : Sara Freeman
Download or read book Playwriting, Dramaturgy and Space written by Sara Freeman and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatre has come back to text, but with perspectives shifted by the experimental practices of the twentieth century across performance forms. Contemporary playwriting brings its scenographic engagement to the foreground of the text, reflecting the spatial turn in theory and practice. In production, this spatiality has renewed and enlivened the status and impact of text-based theatre. Theatre studies needs to better describe the artfulness of contemporary text-based theatre, bringing to it the same sophisticated lenses scholars and critics have used for performance-based theatre and other experimental theatre practices. This Element does that by presenting the work of Caryl Churchill, Naomi Iizuka, and Sarah Ruhl as exemplary of the way text-based theatre, both its scripts and productions, now creates and expects a spatialized imaginary and demonstrates the potentials of text-based theatre in an increasingly visual and spatial field of cultural production.

Book Synopsis There's a Place For Us: The Musical Theatre Works of Leonard Bernstein by : Helen Smith
Download or read book There's a Place For Us: The Musical Theatre Works of Leonard Bernstein written by Helen Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonard Bernstein was the quintessential American musician. Through his careers as conductor, pianist, teacher and television personality he became known across the US and the world, his flamboyance and theatricality making him a favourite with audiences, if not with critics. However, he is perhaps best remembered as a composer, particularly of the musical West Side Story, and for songs such as 'America', 'Tonight' and 'Somewhere'. Dr Helen Smith takes an in-depth look at all eight of Bernstein's musical theatre works, from the early On the Town written by the 26-year-old composer at the start of his career, to his second and last opera A Quiet Place in 1983; in between these two pieces he composed music for Trouble in Tahiti, Wonderful Town, Candide, West Side Story, Mass and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. These works are analysed and considered against a background of musical and social context, as well as looking at Bernstein's other orchestral, choral and chamber works. One important aspect examined is Bernstein's use of motifs in his theatre compositions, which takes them out of the realms of Broadway and into the sphere of symphonic writing. Smith provides an indispensable overview of the musical theatre works of an eclectic composer, and shows what it is that constitutes the Bernstein 'sound'.
