An Englishman Abroad by Alan Benett Lovely, entertaining, funny and at times flamboyant Before this day, Alan Bennett had been unfamiliar to me, to say the least. But what a pleasant surprise it was to listen to his play this morning. The start is superb. It talks about the death of Stalin and his moustache in an uproarious way. After the passing of the dictator, change is in the air. A troupe of actors is performing in the Soviet Union. The actress Carol Browne is in her cabin, when a visitor comes in An Englishman Abroad by Alan Benett Lovely, entertaining, funny and at times flamboyant Before this day, Alan Bennett had been unfamiliar to me, to say the least. The actress Carol Browne is in her cabin, when a visitor comes in and She learns that this is Guy Burgess, the spy who defected to Communist Russia. On the way out, Burgess steals the drink, the cigarettes and the soap. Nevertheless, the actress meets with the intriguing character the following day. The exchange between the two is fantastic. The actress rejects the communist system Guy is gay. He wants Carol Browne to order a suit back in England. He cannot get good clothes in his adopted country. Guy Burgess needs to receive a phone call that allows him to leave the apartment. He is a sort of a prisoner in a dictatorship. But then it was his own fault and deserved maybe even worse. They shoot people for treason, don't they? Having spied for the Soviets, Burgess is loathsome to me. But he is also a charming, educated, flamboyant personage Feb 08, Meihan Liu rated it really liked it. For Guy Burgess. For Great Britain. How sad.

    SPIES, REAL AND IMAGINED Coordinators: Lucy Kirk, Rena Shagan, and Maureen Sullivan "I've got a story to tell you . about spies," says Ricki Tarr in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Stories about spies raise many issues - morality, patriotism, recruiting, betrayal, conspiracy. They also tell us what motivates people to become spies - love of danger, ideology, money, blackmail . We investigate the matrix of issues and motivation through five books, both fiction and non-fiction, concentrating on the Cold War. We discuss the intelligence organizations, their spycraft, and the believability of the characters. Background material includes the history of the Cold War, its participants and events. Some of the best spy fiction is written by former case officers. Coordinator Lucy Kirk shares her experience constructing her own spy novel, including what a career officer can disclose about operations and how to fictionalize former colleagues. Readings: NOTE: Low cost used books are available from BookFinder.com. Any edition can be purchased. Please read entire book prior to first week's discussion of that book. 1.

FG: I suppose through [act]ing at school, but in terms of any serious theatre going I suppose it goes back to the late 1940’s... interestingly enough, when I re-looked at the [programmes] that I have got, the first play that I saw [in] the West End was most unusual for the late 1940’s, it was a play called Anna Lucasta,an American play; what was unusual for the 1940s was that it was an all black cast. CB: Really… FG: And it was about a prostitute and my parents took me [laughs] and I think they must have been slightly worried because I was fourteen at the time and it was one of my first experiences. But that was not typical of the first sort of phase of my theatre-going between that moment in 1949 and about 1951 I suppose and [after where] something dramatic begins to happen, I think.

  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.
