    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} I Didn't Know You Cared by Peter Tinniswood I Didn't Know You Cared by Peter Tinniswood. Respected novelist and playwright Peter Tinniswood has died at the age of 66 following a long battle with cancer. The Liverpudlian writer was diagnosed with oral cancer in 1995 and had undergone surgery to have his larynx removed. Tinniswood was responsible for bringing many memorable characters to radio and television. One of his best-remembered characters was Uncle Mort, an indomitable northerner who contracted cancer in the screenplay I Didn't Know You Cared. Several of the television and radio plays written by Tinniswood attracted a devoted following. Perhaps his best-known works were Tales from a Long Room, and its sequel, More Tales from a Long Room, which told stories about cricket, one of Tinniswood's life-long passions. Most recently he worked on the small screen adaptation of HE Bates' Uncle Silas, which stars Albert Finney. Born in Liverpool, Tinniswood grew up in Sale, Greater Manchester, where he lived above the dry-cleaners run by his mother. As a young boy he would sit under the counter among the dirty laundry, listening to customers' conversations. "It was like live radio," he said "it sharpened my ear for dialogue. I became a good mimic." He began his working life as a journalist, writing fiction in his spare time until it was able to provide him with a livelihood. Radical surgery. Tinniswood's plays have been produced all over the country, including at the National Theatre and Bristol Old Vic.

The Firemen’s Trade Union, as it was known then, was the first of its kind. Although a benefit society for firefighters had existed for many years, there was no specialist trade union to fight for better working conditions in fire brigades. Back then firefighters would live and work on stations as part of a continuous duty system where paid holidays, sick leave and pensions were non-existent. Although the strong bonds of community and comradeship kept people going, it was a brutal life where people felt powerless, trapped in the drudgery of dangerous, poorly paid work with no respite. A union was sorely needed. Matt Wrack (clenched fist, centre) on the FBU’s new appliance at the Notting Hill Carnival Fast forward a century and your union – the much more appropriately named or not, have had a trade represent members by organisation against the odds.

  • Rewriting Theatre History in the Light of Dramatic Translations
    Quaderns de Filologia. Estudis literaris. Vol. XV (2010) 195-218 TEXT, LIES, AND LINGUISTIC RAPE: REWRITING THEATRE HISTORY IN THE LIGHT OF DRAMATIC TRANSLATIONS John London Goldsmiths, University of London Grup de Recerca en Arts Escèniques, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Although the translation of dramatic texts has received considerable scholarly attention in the last twenty years, a great deal of this energy has been devoted to theoretical or practical issues concerned with staging. The specific linguistic features of performed translations and their subsequent reception in the theatrical culture of their host nations have not been studied so prominently. Symptomatic of this is the sparse treatment given to linguistic translation in general analyses of theatrical reception (Bennett, 1997: 191- 196). Part of the reluctance to examine the fate of transformed verbal language in the theatre can be attributed to the kinds of non-text-based performance which evolved in the 1960s and theoretical discourses which, especially in France, sought to dislodge the assumed dominance of the playtext. According to this reasoning, critics thus paid “less attention to the playwrights’ words or creations of ‘character’ and more to the concept of ‘total theatre’ ” (Bradby & Delgado, 2002: 8). It is, above all, theatre history that has remained largely untouched by detailed linguistic analysis of plays imported from another country and originally written in a different language. While there are, for example, studies of modern European drama in Britain (Anderman, 2005), a play by Shakespeare in different French translations (Heylen, 1993) or non-Spanish drama in Spain (London, 1997), these analyses never really become part of mainstream histories of British, French or Spanish theatre.
