    SHARP THEATER BULLETIN IN THIS ISSUE PAGE 3 PAGE 4 PAGE 5 PLAYWRIGHT’S PERSPECTIVE THE X-FACTOR NOT-KNOWING Kirk Lynn on fatherhood and how it impacted Let's talk about sex. “If nothing was true, everything was possible.” the writing of the play. Adam Greenfield on the work of Kirk Lynn. FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR DEAR FRIENDS, How honest are we about sex? The Kama Sutra of Vtsyyana is a sacred Hindu text composed about eighteen hundred years ago. It was first published privately in English by an erotophile named Sir Richard Burton in 1883 and began to appear in pirated publications around the same time that Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams. When Burton died, his wife reportedly burned most of his private erotic literature collection. As the most recent translator of The Kama Sutra, Aditya N. D. Haksarhas, points out, most English-speakers only know this ancient text via marketed “Illustrated” publications that highlight the notori- ous descriptions of copulatory positions that actually comprise only about one twentieth of the original work. A fairer summary would characterize it as a broad survey of sexual and social relationships between men and women. I lay out this bit of world literary history for you to come clean about my own way into Kirk Lynn’s fascinating, insightful, and moving story of a man’s messy journey from marriage to fatherhood. I didn’t know much about Kirk’s play when we did a Superlab reading of it last year. Frankly, I didn’t know much about the ac- tual Kama Sutra either, not that this ancient text has anything to do with the play, really, other than to orient us.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

    Sarah Ruhl: A Comprehensive Analysis of The Clean House, Eurydice, Passion Play, Dead Man’s Cell Phone and In The Next Room or the Vibrator Play by Heather Welch, B.F.A. A Thesis In THEATRE ARTS Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTERS OF ARTS Approved William Gelber, Ph.D. Chair of Committee Bruce Hermann, M.F.A. Peggy Miller Dean of the Graduate School May, 2012 Copyright 2012, Heather Welch Texas Tech University, Heather Welch, May 2012 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would be remiss if I didn’t thank several people who have been instrumental to the process of writing this thesis and to my development as a student of the theatre. First and foremost, I would like to thank the members of my committee, Dr. Bill Gelber and Bruce Hermann. Dr. Gelber’s guidance throughout the entire process and his probing questions and thorough reviews of each chapter during the editing process has been extremely beneficial to this project. Bruce Hermann also has provided helpful insight and critical questions that shaped the methodology of this thesis and ultimately, the project is better because of it. I am indebted to both of them for their guidance, their kindness and for reassuring me when I was “in the weeds.” I must also give thanks to Dr. Norman Bert. It was in his Dramatic Analysis class in Fall 2010 that I first attempted to write about Sarah Ruhl. Once the semester was over, I realized that I was not quite done with writing about her.
