Written by Oliver Goldsmith CONTINUES ON PAGE 2 Lynn Wirght and Todd Lawson in 1 ARSENIC AND OLD LACE STOOPS...OCTOBER/NOVEMBER In recent years, however, TACT has expanded the company’s vision to include the examination of more contemporary work. An example of this was seen last season with the 2003 drama Hard Love by Motti Lerner This artistic expansion began, however, six years ago with the creation of our newTACTics New Play Development program. As that program blossomed, and we saw how valuable TACT’s drama- turgical experience could be in the development of new works, we envisioned a time when we could move a play from newTACTics to full production on our Mainstage. TO CONQUER In the Spring TACT will be accomplishing that long-term goal by presenting the World Premiere of The Gravedigger’s Lullaby, a play that arrives at the Mainstage by way of the 2015 newTACTics New Play Festival where it was workshopped and developed. Written by SHE TACT company member and Laurents/Hatcher Foundation Award winner Jeff Talbott, and directed by former TACT Artistic Director and current company member Jenn Thompson, the play tells the powerful, simple tale of Baylen, a hardworking gravedigger fighting by to feed his family in a world that threatens to bury him. When asked why he wrote the play, Talbott had this to say: Oliver “I had a long, complicated conversation with a family member about the wealth gap and was having a hard time Goldsmith processing my feelings about the conversation. I went where I go to process things I’m having a hard time with: the keyboard. And I got exactly nowhere. So I went for a long walk, and in my neighborhood in Queens, my long walks take me through an enormous cemetery about a mile from my home. And in the middle of that cemetery, I stopped thinking about big ideas and started thinking about people. And the person who grabbed me was this man: a gravedigger, in a time before now. And I knew what to do. I let go of my processing and just got to know this kind and tough man. And his wife. And his baby. And his friend. And a stranger. It started in a cemetery, but it with ended with a family.” Mary Bacon, With the Mainstage production of The Gravedigger’s Lullaby, TACT Jeremy Beck, will mark the first time that we and our our audience has been pres- Cynthia Darlow, ent throughout every step of the artistic process for a TACT show.

  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

Skæbnen, hvis man tror på den slags, ville nemlig, at Douglas Adams var på rette tid og sted med den rette historie. Tiden var 1978, stedet var den britiske radio BBC og historien var The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Før denne tid havde Douglas uden synderlig succes kæmpet for at ernære sig som forfatter, men efter hans humoristiske science-fiction radiohørespil blev sendt på BBC, blev han et kultikon og hans bøger bestsellere. Man kan dårligt fortælle om personen og for- fatteren Douglas Adams uden samtidig at fortælle historien om Hånd- bog for vakse Galakse-Blaffere, som bogen kom til at hedde på dansk. Den skæbne, der tildelte ham livets store success, formåede desværre også at tage sig godt betalt. Douglas Adams døde den 11. maj 2001 i et fitnesscenter i Californien, hvor et hjerteanfald slukkede hans livslys. Han var næsten to meter høj, men blev kun 49 år gammel og efterlod sig ikke kun et populært forfatterskab og en kone og datter, men også en ab- surd verden, der altid blev en hel del klarere, når den blev betragtet og kommenteret af Douglas.

    1 Cultural Daily Independent Voices, New Perspectives A Grand Disarray in the Gardens Sylvie Drake · Wednesday, July 20th, 2016 There is a morbid fascination with lives lost or thrown away, the puzzlement of people sinking into hoarding, the zoning out, the giving up and giving in to squalor. Who would have thought that you could make a musical based on such a premise, let alone a pretty compelling one? Apparently, Doug Wright (author of I Am My Own Wife), Scott Frankel (music) and Michael Korie (lyrics) did. And we’re glad they did, as the musical born of that attempt — Grey Gardens, now at the Ahmanson Theatre — proves again that musical theatre can rise to surprising heights tackling just about any subject, no matter how dark or unlikely. Think of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd and think especially of the Tom Kitt/Brian Yorkey Next to Normal, which so movingly chronicles the devastation of one woman’s bipolar disorder to the confusion and bewilderment of her family. Grey Gardens is largely based on the Maysles Brothers 1975 documentary about Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, “Little Edie” Beale, relatives of Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and once members of the same East Coast aristocracy. Thanks to a kind of reckless irrationality, the women over time sank into poverty and grime at the once grand 28-room mansion they shared in The Hamptons. The documentary made a large impression, not least because of the family name, but also because it was unsparing in its tell-all detail, showing us how these two not untalented women also shared a profound disconnection with reality and a stifling co- dependent relationship with each other.

    La Fondazione Fellini, nella sua nuova veste, ha il piacere di premiare Terry Gilliam, regista visionario e disegnatore, appassionato dell’Italia e del cinema di Fellini. Al suo talento e alla sua opera multiforme l’ente riminese dedica, nelle giornate dal 17 al 20 novembre, una serie di iniziative aperte al pubblico. Sabato 19 alle ore 18,30 presso la Sala del Giudizio del Museo della Città di Rimini, Terry Gilliam riceverà dalle mani di Francesca Fabbri Fellini, nipote del Maestro, una medaglia realizzata dall’artista Valerio Adami. La Fondazione donerà a Gilliam una copia anastatica del Libro dei sogni, una specie di diario in cui il grande regista ha registrato per trent’anni i suoi sogni sotto forma di disegni e appunti. Nel pomeriggio dello stesso giorno, alle ore 16, verrà inaugurata, presso la Galleria d’Arte Fabjbasaglia Terry e Federico: una stretta di mani, una mostra di disegni originali di Federico Fellini e del regista premiato. L’esposizione, aperta fino al 10 dicembre prossimo, comprende una cinquantina di disegni: gli schiz- zi di Gilliam accanto a quelli di Fellini. Tra le molteplici collaborazioni della Fondazione, questa edizione del Premio prevede un incontro sui progetti di nuove sceneggiature elaborate a partire dai soggetti inediti di Fellini dagli studenti della scuola di sceneggiatura bolognese “Bottega Finzioni” di Carlo Lucarelli, Michele Cogo e Giampiero Rigosi. Se ne parlerà sabato 19, alle ore 11, al Museo della Città. Nata nel 1995 per volontà del Comune di Rimini e della sorella di Federico, Maddalena, la Fondazione Federico Fellini ha costituito in questi anni un centro di studi, ineludibile punto di riferimento sul piano nazionale e internazionale.

  • Blithe Spirit Directed by Michael Blakemore
    PRESS RELEASE: 7 January 2014 FULL CAST ANNOUNCED NOËL COWARD’s BLITHE SPIRIT DIRECTED BY MICHAEL BLAKEMORE Gielgud Theatre Previews from 1 March 2014 Press Night: 18 March 2014 Jemima Rooper, Sandra Dickinson, Simon Jones and Patsy Ferran join Janie Dee, Charles Edwards and Angela Lansbury in Blithe Spirit, directed by Michael Blakemore. This new production of Noël Coward’s sharp comedy of social mores opens at the Gielgud Theatre on 18 March 2014, with previews from 1 March. In order to observe a spiritualist first-hand for a planned novel, writer Charles Condomine (Charles Edwards) and wife Ruth (Janie Dee) invite friends the Bradmans (Simon Jones and Sandra Dickinson) to dinner and a séance with local clairvoyant Madame Arcati (Angela Lansbury), whom they are certain is a fake. That all changes when the ghost of his first wife, Elvira (Jemima Rooper) is summoned - and overstays her welcome in the following days, causing a rift between Charles and his at first disbelieving and then jealous second wife. The feuding wives, ghost and flesh, hatch plot and counter plot to sabotage each other’s and Charles’ existence – but will they succeed? Angela Lansbury plays Madame Arcati. Her Broadway performance as Coward’s infamous clairvoyant earned her the 2009 Tony Award for Best Supporting Actress, her fifth Tony Award. Her professional career spans more than a half-century, during which she has flourished, first as a star of motion pictures, then as a Broadway musical star and most recently as the star of Murder, She Wrote. The actress made her Broadway debut in 1957 when she starred as Bert Lahr’s wife in the French farce, Hotel Paradiso.
