Book Synopsis The Pretenders, and Two Other Plays (Classic Reprint) by : Henrik Ibsen
Download or read book The Pretenders, and Two Other Plays (Classic Reprint) written by Henrik Ibsen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pretenders, and Two Other Plays The three plays translated in the present volume illustrate three very different and characteristic phases of Ibsen's genius. The stirring historical drama, The Pretenders, which appeared in 1864 and was his first really great achievement, was written at white heat when Ibsen was five-and-thirty and his intellectual powers were just touching their full development. Pillars of Society, which was completed in 1877, was the earliest of the "social dramas" on which his fame will always mainly rest, and betrays some signs of experiment. In it the dramatist has not yet quite found his feet on the ground which he trod with the triumphant assurance of a master by the time Rosmersholm, which is typical of his intellectual power at its highest, appeared in 1886. The Pretenders was written while Ibsen was still in Christiania, previous to his long voluntary exile from Norway. He had, some years before, been attracted by the subject of the historical struggle between Haakon and Skule for the crown; and circumstances now seemed to conspire (or, at least, Ibsen seems to have thought so) to give him a clearer insight into the conflict of character between the two heroes. The rough handling which his countrymen had accorded to his last play, Love's Comedy, and the small advance he had been able (in spite of the growth of his powers) to make in popular estimation, contrasted cruelly in his eyes with the rapidly increasing popularity of his friend and rival, Bjornson, who was advancing from success to success with serene confidence. These were the circumstances that enabled Ibsen to portray so vividly in The Pretenders Skule's anxious craving for success, and the conflict between his torturing lack of self-confidence and his uneasy consciousness that Haakon's success, though easier, was deserved.

Download or read book Little Theater Classics, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) written by Samuel Atkins Eliot and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Theater Classics, Vol. 2 With the return of peace and resumption of normal activities, the Little Theater Movement visibly revives and flourishes. It is less esoteric, more communal than it used to be. The Community Houses which will probably be erected everywhere in fitting memorial for those who died for democracy will normally include a stage: the theater has attained that degree of recognition in America. The art of the theater, though it still cannot be fostered and enjoyed on a profitable basis save when by a stroke of luck a play like Ervine's John Ferguson produced by the New York Theater Guild in May, 1919, meets unexpected, widespread public favor, yet finds ever-increasing interest and support. Not even in War's darkest days was its growth wholly checked; the Detroit Arts and Crafts Theater, the Provincetown Players in New York and Copeau's Theatre du Vieux Colombier, now lost to us once more in Paris, continued to pioneer and unfold new possibilities of drama and stagecraft. A yet more fervent discipleship among all who care for Art itself may be expected now, and consequently a more rapid, venturesome, and financially sustained progress should mark the next few years than signalized the movement's infancy in 1911-1918. Three of the plays in this second volume of our series were produced before the eclipse of 1918, - two of them in a good many little Theaters.

All these can be given on the draped stage, but suggestions for scenery have been made in the Costume Edition.

Book Synopsis Six Plays of the Yiddish Theatre by : David Pinski
Download or read book Six Plays of the Yiddish Theatre written by David Pinski and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Plays of the Yiddish Theatre: Second Series The two pieces by Pinski included in the present collection of Yiddish plays reveal that noted dramatist in two distinct manners. "Little Heroes," indeed, is one of the most original works of art engendered by the present war. Not only does it reflect, with genuine humor and pathos, the souls of the little ones confronted by a gigantic phenomenon that they cannot understand, but these little heroes mirror quite aptly the minds and the feelings of those larger children whom they call their parents. The play was written in 1916, and has been very successfully produced. It merits a place among the world's juvenile classics. "The Stranger" (or, "The Eternal Jew") is in some respects akin to Pinski's "Abigail" in the previous collection. Where the latter is constructed from one of the episodes in the life of King David, however, the former originates in a short legend from the Talmud. For a better appreciation of the play (which is the first of a tetralogy upon the theme of the Wandering Jew, each part complete in itself) I translate the Midrash legend. Nothing could better reveal how Pinski enriches his sources with most imaginative and dramatic touches, than a comparison of the monotonous, gossipy Midrash tale with the colorful drama developed from it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Esther and Berenice Two Plays I have been asked to write a few words to explain why these adaptations of Racine were made. They were made for the use of a little company of amateur players who, wished to try their art in verse plays, yet found that of the many fine poetical plays in the En glish language, not many suited their needs. The Elizabethan poetical play needs a large cast and a fairly large stage. The Restora tion poetical play is of an old fashion. The modern poetical play is usually not enough of the stage nor of the people to hold the audience to which these players perform.
