Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

  • Bishop George R. Evans 1922-1985
    “Servant of God and Man” is the motto Auxiliary Bishop George R. Evans chose to have affixed to his coat o f arms when he was elevated to the episcopacy of the Church on April 23, 1969, by Pope Paul VI. Fidelity to his chosen guiding principle earned for him the reputa­ tion as a “social action bishop.” A sensitive and caring man, he was always reticent about himself, preferring instead to praise the people with whom he worked. His deep concern for social justice issues came about in his first year as a bishop. Only seven months after his consecration as a bishop, he preached a sermon defending social activism and Church reform touched off by the modernization efforts o f the Second Vatican Council. Thereafter, he took highly public stands on the needs o f the poor, on housing issues, on women’s rights, on pro-life and the issue o f nuclear war. He spoke out against the M X missile, saying it went beyond any just defense.

  • „Różańcowe” Osoby Tennessee Williamsa
    „Różańcowe” osoby Tennessee Williamsa We wrześniu 1982 roku, dwudziestoletni początkujący dramatopisarz i scenarzysta James Grissom wysłał do Tennessee Williamsa list z prośbą o radę w sprawie kariery literackiej. 71- letni wówczas Williams, który tkwił w długotrwałym okresie niemocy twórczej, odpisał: „Chyba możesz mi pomóc”. Na czym polegała ta pomoc? Williams podczas kolejnych spotkań z młodym człowiekiem podał mu listę osób, przeważnie kobiet, których nazwał „szaleństwem Boga”. Ludzi, których znał i którzy byli dla niego ważni. Opowiedział o relacjach z nimi i poprosił, by Grissom odwiedził ich i spytał jak wiele dla nich Tennessee Williams znaczył. Wypełnienie tej misji zajęło Grissomowi prawie 30 lat. Pokłosiem wielu spotkań jest książka „Szaleństwo Boga. Tennessee Williams i kobiety z mgły”. Williams podzielił się z Grissomem wspomnieniami o wyłanianiu się postaci Amandy ze „Szklanej menażerii”, Blanche DuBois z „Tramwaju zwanego pożądaniem” i innych bohaterek jego dramatów. Dzięki temu możemy zajrzeć za kulisy powstawania sztuk jednego z najważniejszych dramatopisarzy XX wieku. Książka jest galerią postaci zaludniających masową wyobraźnię społeczeństwa amerykańskiego przełomu lat 40. i 50.: Maureen Stapleton, Lillian Gish, Katherine Hepburn, Geraldine Page, Jessica Tandy, Anne Saxton, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Elia Kazan, Truman Capote, Carson McCullers, William Inge i wiele aktorek, których nazwiska zapisały się w historii kina. Galerię otwiera rozdział poświęcony aktorce Maureen Stapleton. Aktorkę z dramatopisarzem łączyło to, że oboje byli marzycielami. To Maureen spowodowała, że Williams otrzymał od niej coś, czego nie dała mu matka, przy Maureen czuł się bezpieczny i szczęśliwy. Tennesse Williams był bardzo silnie związany emocjonalnie z matką i siostrą. „uczucia, które żywię w stosunku do matki i siostry, przeszywają mnie dzień w dzień i nie wątpię, że są jądrem mojej tożsamości, mówią mi, kim jestem, że jestem kochany i kocham, nieważne jak nędznie i nieporadnie” – wspominał.

Miriam Ruth, The Mother-Supreme, definitely keeps the young Agnes away from the doctor, raising Livingston's suspicions further. Who killed the baby and who was the father of the tiny victim? Livingston's questions force all three women to reconsider the meaning of faith and the power of love that leads to John Pilmeier's play GodWritten by John PielmeierCharactersAgnesMother Miriam RuthDr. Martha Livingston's premiere of the 1979Place premiere of Eugene O'Neill's Theatrical Language CenterEnglishSubjectDramaSettingA Monastery Agnes God is a 1979 play by American playwright John Pielmeier which tells the story of an aspiring nun who gives birth and insists that the baby was the result of a virgin concept. The psychiatrist and mother of the monastery's chief clashed during the investigation. The name is a pun on the Latin phrase Agnus Dei (The Lamb of God). Summary Of the Stage Play touches on three main characters: Martha, a psychiatrist; Mother-supreme; and Agnes, a rookie. There are no other characters on the stage. All three roles are considered to be demanding of the actors playing them. Martha covers the entire range of emotions during the play, from educator to antagonist, from a hard-footed court psychiatrist and atheist to a faithful healer seeking faith. She is always on stage and has only three small respite from monologues or dialogue while Agnes and Mother Supreme take memories of the events in the monastery.

  • Agnes Audition Packet.Indd
    Agnes of GOD Audition Packet A Production of Oeuvre Arts Omnimedia at The Play Ground Theatre, Duluth, Minnesota About the play Agnes of God is a play written by John Pielmeier which tells the story of Agnes, a novice who gives birth to a child she is accused of killing in her room. She insists that the dead child was the result of a virgin conception. A psychiatrist and the mother superior of the convent clash during the resulting investigation. The title is a pun on the Latin phrase Agnus Dei, or, Lamb of God. The drama is widely believed to have been based on an actual incident that occurred at a convent near Rochester, New York. The play opened on Broadway on March 30, 1982 at the Music Box Theatre. The original cast was Elizabeth Ashley as Dr. Livingstone, Geraldine Page as Mother Miriam Ruth and Amanda Plummer as Agnes. During the run, Diahann Carroll also played Dr. Livingstone and Carrie Fisher played the role of Agnes. About the playwright JOHN PIELMEIER (born February 23, 1949) is an American playwright and screenwriter. Born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Pielmeier earned a Bache- lor of Arts degree from the Catholic University of America in 1970 and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Pennsyl- vania State University in 1978. He began his career as an actor, working with such repertory companies as Actors Theater of Louisville and the Guthrie Theater. In 1976, Pielmeier’s first play, A Chosen Room, was pro- duced in Minneapolis. Three years later, Agnes of God was performed in a staged reading at the O’Neill National Playwrights’ Conference in Waterford, Connecticut and won the 1979 Great American Play Contest.
