Book Synopsis The Old Wakefield Theatre (Classic Reprint) by : William Senior
Download or read book The Old Wakefield Theatre (Classic Reprint) written by William Senior and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Wakefield Theatre Out by the Greeks and Phoenicians. It hardly accounts for Knaresborough, but it shows, of course, a certain amount of research on the part of the historian. But as I cannot lay claim to the name, I have no right to appro priate the method. There is, however, in this case the excuse that the mystery plays of the later middle ages really were here actually presented upon the very ground we of Wake field tread; and, as it was in the form of plays for the playhouse that its crowning glory was added to English literature, for a town to have been associated even with the crude beginnings of our drama is surely some thing to be remembered. And it may be that the reminder of this ancient local connection will add a little pleasant antiquarian colouring to the love with which the present inhabitants of Wakefield (some of them) regard an art still exhibited in their midst - an art, indeed.

Book excerpt: Since its settlement in 1639, the town now known as Wakefield has enjoyed a rich and varied history. Wakefield Revisited celebrates the personality of this community. Featured are some of the town's most unforgettable characters; from 19th-century house painter Franklin Poole, who captured the town's character in a myriad of rare, precise oil paintings, to the fascinating strong women who played a major role in forging the personality of Wakefield.

Capping it all will be images of celebrations, from Grand Army of the Republic marches to the high school relocation procession to the town's trademark Fourth of July parade, which has evolved into the largest Independence Day parade in Massachusetts.

Book Synopsis An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance by : Robert Leach
Download or read book An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance written by Robert Leach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance chronicles the history and development of theatre from the Roman era to the present day. As the most public of arts, theatre constantly interacted with changing social, political and intellectual movements and ideas, and Robert Leach’s masterful work restores to the foreground of this evolution the contributions of women, gay people and ethnic minorities, as well as the theatres of the English regions, and of Wales and Scotland. Highly illustrated chapters trace the development of theatre through major plays from each period; evaluations of playwrights; contemporary dramatic theory; acting and acting companies; dance and music; the theatre buildings themselves; and the audience, while also highlighting enduring features of British theatre, from comic gags to the use of props. Continuing on from the Enlightenment, Volume Two of An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance leads its readers from the drama and performances of the Industrial Revolution to the latest digital theatre. Moving from Punch and Judy, castle spectres and penny showmen to Modernism and Postdramatic Theatre, Leach’s second volume triumphantly completes a collated account of all the British Theatre History knowledge anyone could ever need.
