But considering Conversation Piece merely as a “novelty” falls a long way short of doing justice to Coward’s achievement in this, possibly the least-known of all his musical scores. One is forced to admit that even for a dedicated Coward music enthusiast there is much composition in this score that is difficult to pin down as separately memorable numbers: goodish chunks of music including two Prologues and an Opening, ‘Brighton Parade’, ‘The Gardens’ (twice) and Louis Haywood, Noël Coward and Yvonne Printemps in the original London production of Conversation Piece portions of two Finales comprise scenes where the music is “merely” part of the atmosphere, a background (albeit as Piece has recently been addressed by NCS member Adrian important a background as the décor) to movement and Wright. Alert readers will recall an interview with him in our dialogue, which means that there is a strong element of ballet June 2010 issue at the time of the launch of his new book on music in this score, music as a stylistic mise-en-scène , at the the twentieth century British musical theatre, ‘A Tanner’s expense (some might argue) of memorable songs with words. Worth of Tune’. (The book is available at www.amazon.com When we do get songs with words, they are all of and has a complete chapter on Coward’s various musical memorably high standard. ‘I’ll Follow My Secret Heart’, the shows.) More to the point here was Adrian’s record company’s principal waltz love-song number (whose miraculous (Must Close Saturday Records) 2007 reissue of the 1951 studio composition complete and from nowhere, late at night at recording of Conversation Piece starring Lily Pons, a young Goldenhurst after weeks of agonised searching for inspiration, Richard Burton and Noël Coward himself. and in an unfamiliar key, is a well-known story) was thought The CD comes with Adrian’s exceptionally informative and by Benny Green to be possibly “ the loveliest of all Coward’s educational sleeve notes, and all of what follows my byline is pieces, the perfect marriage of words and music … which taken verbatim from that source. As a resource for the Coward transcends its environment, its time and place, to become one enthusiast this could hardly be bettered. NCS has sometimes of the great standard songs of the modern era ”. Personally I made supportive investments in re-publishing projects of this prefer, as somehow musically more satisfying still, the second nature, and was pleased to be able to do so in this instance. of the score’s waltz love-songs, ‘Nevermore’. Neither of these The Society is now able to offer copies of the MCSR pieces is more than slight, the bare minimum of a 32-bar Conversation Piece CD, more or less at cost price, to our refrain after the usual (sometimes lengthy) preamble, but it’s membership. May I urge all readers who have stayed with me understandable that the less positive emotions of ‘Nevermore’ so far to take advantage of the offer? You will not be were never going to out-compete the more positive tone of the disappointed, one ought to be more familiar with the music of principal song. this enigmatic and neglected score, and such an opportunity There are other very worthwhile and memorable pieces in will probably not occur again! the score of Conversation Piece , including ‘Melanie’s Aria’ (‘Plus de Coeur Discret’) and two classic comedy concerted Dominic Vlasto numbers, ‘There’s Always Something Fishy About the French’ and ‘Regency Rakes’, the latter of which has certainly suffered From Adrian Wright’s sleeve-notes for MCSR 3039 from having lyrics specific to a group and as such was never able to come through into a more general, solo performance Apart from its outstanding waltz song, Conversation Piece arena, like so much of Coward’s other great comedy material. is not one of Coward’s best scores; indeed, the very title of the (I once saw ‘Regency Rakes’ performed, as illustration of part play suggests this may be so; we are here to talk, as much as to of a historical narrative, by a quartette of schoolboys; they sing.

  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

    The Ideal of Ensemble Practice in Twentieth-century British Theatre, 1900-1968 Philippa Burt Goldsmiths, University of London PhD January 2015 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own and has not been and will not be submitted, in whole or in part, to any other university for the award of any other degree. Philippa Burt 2 Acknowledgements This thesis benefitted from the help, support and advice of a great number of people. First and foremost, I would like to thank Professor Maria Shevtsova for her tireless encouragement, support, faith, humour and wise counsel. Words cannot begin to express the depth of my gratitude to her. She has shaped my view of the theatre and my view of the world, and she has shown me the importance of maintaining one’s integrity at all costs. She has been an indispensable and inspirational guide throughout this process, and I am truly honoured to have her as a mentor, walking by my side on my journey into academia. The archival research at the centre of this thesis was made possible by the assistance, co-operation and generosity of staff at several libraries and institutions, including the V&A Archive at Blythe House, the Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive, the National Archives in Kew, the Fabian Archives at the London School of Economics, the National Theatre Archive and the Clive Barker Archive at Rose Bruford College. Dale Stinchcomb and Michael Gilmore were particularly helpful in providing me with remote access to invaluable material held at the Houghton Library, Harvard and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin, respectively.

It's a simple philosophy. When perhaps a chap's in trouble. I respond with alacrity. And if my fellow men have problems Whatever they might be They call on me The sterling Wooster B. For despite This easy nature Come the evening When battle dawns To see a Wooster Grab the livestock by both the horns For when a Wooster's mask of pleasure Becomes a steely stare You'll know he's there He'll never turn a hair What would a chap do without it? How would he get through without it? How could he stay true wihtout the Code of the Woosters? If you're at sea, I shall be there, even put off tea to be there Woosters have swum oceans for the Code of Allegiance duly owed to the Wooster Code What a load If a girl Is in the doldrums Not a paddle To her name I'll be there Though frankly speaking Womanizing's not my game But if she's really in a lather Wild eyed and hat askew He'll see her through Old you know who... Whenever it calls, can't ignore it, even give up Ascot for it Woosters have died gladly for the code of For that rugged, heavy load called the Wooster Code What a load Take my card In case you need me, if you're jousting a losing cause Like the chap Who wins the double I can rattle The natural laws So if you're eaten up with anguish I'll snatch you from its jaws No second's pause From one sincerely yours..

  • Submission Draft Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2033
    SUBMISSION DRAFT HAMPSTEAD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2033 Published in October 2017 by: Hampstead Neighbourhood Forum under the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 0 1 Foreword This document represents the culmination of more than three years of work by many volunteers and is based on the input of hundreds of local people. Our aim with this Neighbourhood Plan is to promote Hampstead’s future as a lively and contemporary neighbourhood with exceptional heritage and unique open spaces. Over the course of 2014, the Forum consulted extensively with residents, businesses and other stakeholders in Hampstead. We appeared at festivals, met with groups and individuals, got out the word through our website and the local media and managed to increase our membership from about 150 to more than 1000. Several hundred people attended our three consultation events. We listened to your feedback and worked hard to incorporate your views into a “Vision” document. The excellent response helped us establish a clear set of aims and objectives for how the local community would like to shape future development. During 2015 and 2016, we sought to put some policy flesh on these visionary bones, or rather, some teeth. We also spent many months gathering the evidence to back up these policies. We presented our draft Neighourhood Plan for consultation in the spring of 2017 and received overwhelming support for the policies it contained. We are grateful for the support we have received from Locality and would like to thank everyone who has helped produce this document, to the Forum Committee, to all of our local Councillors, to our consultants at Fortismere Associates, to Deborah McCann for conducting our Health Check and to Andrew Triggs and Brian O’Donnell at Camden Council for their guidance and support.
