A brief marital history Ellen Terry married three times and, between husbands one and two, eloped with the man who Ellen Terry’s first marriage was to the artist G F Watts. She was a week shy of 17 years old, young and exuberant, and he was a very neurotic and elderly 46. They were totally mismatched. Within a year he had sent her back to her family but would not divorce her. When she was 21, Ellen Terry eloped with the widower Edward Godwin and, as a consequence, was estranged from her family. Ellen said he was the only man she really loved. They had two illegitimate children, Edith and Edward. The relationship foundered after 6 or 7 years when they were overcome by financial problems resulting from over- expenditure on the house that Godwin had designed and built for them in Harpenden.

  • Broadside Read- a Brief Chronology of Major Events in Trous Failure
    NEWSLETTER OF THE THEATRE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Volume 17, Number 1/Volume 17, Number 2 SPECIAL DOUBLE ISSUE Summer/Fa111989 EXHIBITION SURVEYS MANHATTAN'S EARLY THEATRE HISTORY L An exhibition spotlighting three early New York theatres was on view in the Main I Gallery of The New York Public Library at Lincoln Center from February 13, 1990 through March 31, 1990. Focusing on the Park Theatre on Park Row, Niblo's Garden on Broadway and Prince Street, and Wal- lack's, later called the Star, on Broadway and 13th Street, the exhibition attempted to show, through the use of maps, photo- graphic blowups, programs and posters, the richness of the developing New York theatre scene as it moved northward from lower Manhattan. The Park Theatre has been called "the first important theatre in the United States." It opened on January 29, 1798, across from the Commons (the Commons is now City Hall Park-City Hall was built in 1811). The opening production, As You Like It, was presented with some of the fin- est scenery ever seen. The theatre itself, which could accommodate almost 2,000, was most favorably reviewed. It was one of the most substantial buildings erected in the city to that date- the size of the stage was a source of amazement to both cast and audience. In the early nineteenth century, to increase ticket sales, manager Stephen Price introduced the "star sys- tem" (the importation of famous English stars). This kept attendance high but to some extent discouraged the growth of in- digenous talent. In its later days the Park was home to a fine company, which, in addition to performing the classics, pre- sented the work of the emerging American playwrights.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. SYNOPSIS This thesis consists of an Introduction, followed by Part I (chapters 1-2) in which nineteenth- century criticism of the play is discussed, particular attention being paid to Helen Faucit's essay on Imogen, and its relationship to her playing of the role. In Part II the stags-history of Oymbcline in London is traced from 1785 to Irving's Lyceum production of 1896. Directions from promptbooks used by G-.P. Cooke, W.C. Macready, Helen Eaucit, and Samuel ±helps are transcribed and discussed, and in the last chapter the influence of Bernard Shaw on Ellen Terry's Imogen is considered in the light of their correspondence and the actress's rehearsal copies of the play. There are three appendices: a list of performances; transcriptions of two newspaper reviews (from 1843 and 1864) and one private diary (Gordon Crosse's notes on the Lyceum Gymbeline); and discussion of one of the promptbooks prepared for Charles Kean's projected production.

  • “Free Theatre”: Edith Craig's Pioneer Players 1911
    Formations, Institutions and The “Free Theatre”: Edith Craig’s Pioneer Players 1911- 25 In ‘Social Environment and Theatrical Environment: The Case of English Naturalism’ (1977), Raymond Williams provided valuable insights into the vibrant and volatile period in theatre when ideas of freedom and oppression were realized and contested in the dramatic form of naturalism. He noted that the naturalist play emphasised ‘the stage as an enclosed room’ and environment itself acted as an agent in constructing character.1 Some naturalist drama sought to open up these claustrophobic domestic spaces and indicate pathways to social change. However, any depiction of a domestic space or ‘enclosed room’ in this period—in plays, short stories, novels and the visual art of the women’s suffrage political campaigns—became inevitably implicated in separate spheres ideology.2 Although Williams referred to the ‘breakaway independent theatres’ and the Vedrenne-Barker season of plays 1904-07, he did not mention the involvement of female performers, authors or directors in the promotion of the independent theatres or how they drew on that experience during the political movement for women’s enfranchisement. The ‘enclosed room’ of the naturalist play was reconceptualized by a new generation of political activists of both sexes who envisaged equality symbolized by citizenship and brought about by legislative change. The women’s suffrage movement was very visibly and successfully supported by the production of politically engaged drama. This is marked by a specific theatrical production, Elizabeth Robins’ Votes for Women (1907) and the founding of the specialist institutions, the Actresses’ Franchise League (AFL, 1908) and the Pioneer Players theatre society (1911).

    Smallhythe Place – History 1514 – 1939 There is very little known about the early history of Smallhythe Place because no documentary records of the origins, purpose or construction of the house have been discovered. The description below is taken from a number of specialist surveys of the property Origins The precise age of the house is not known. The style of the building suggests that it was built in the early 16th century. A fire on 31 July 1514 destroyed some of Smallhythe and it is possible that the house was built shortly after the fire. Purpose The original purpose of the house is not known. It originally had two front doors and an unusual internal layout, indicating that the house had been designed for semi-public, perhaps business, use. Traditionally, the house was believed to have been the port reeve's house but again there is no documentary evidence for the existence of a port reeve at Smallhythe. It is possible that the house may have served as an inn or court house or may have been the home/office of a local shipbuilder. However articles in the Daily News of 24 and 27 July 1928, the time of Ellen Terry's death, state that the house may have been the residence of the priest of the nearby church, and that the church had been established by Dutch settlers. Unusual construction The need to incorporate different layouts on the ground and first floors let to the use of some interesting and innovative details of construction. The frame of the building is very unusual and only two other buildings are known with similar frames.

The Shakespeare Institute October 1983 243 CHAPTER FOUR MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING Much Ado About Nothing is to be distinguished from the other comedies of Shakespeare that are its nearest contemporaries because of its concern with one circumscribed social unit. Unlike As You Like It,Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice and A Midsummer Night's Dream,which play off different kinds of worlds against each other, the problems arising in one being resolved by a retreat to the next or alternatively by a foreign visitor, the action of Much Ado About Nothing is focussed on a single, indigenous group. (That Don Pedro,strictly speaking,is an outsider from Aragon seems less important than the fact that he and the other guests freely interact with Leonato's household, making themselves at home there.) If the intervention of Dogberry and the Watch is required to restore harmony, then Dogberry, although of a different class, is quite clearly part of the civic life of Messina.
