  • Happy Family by Giles Cooper
    Press Information finboroughtheatre Odd Sok Productions in association with Concordance presents Happy Family by Giles Cooper. Directed by Vivian Munn. Designed by Alex Marker. Lighting by Alex Watson. Cast includes: Scott Brooksbank. Camilla Corbett. Will Godfrey. Caroline Taylor. THE FIRST LONDON PRODUCTION FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS OF THE BLACK COMEDY BY CULT SIXTIES DRAMATIST, GILES COOPER. The three members of the Solstice family are still as emotionally vulnerable and innocent as when they were as children - Mark, the authoritative brother, is terrified of the dark; Susan is stuck in her role as the bossy older sister; while Deborah is totally unaware of the facts of life. Held together by an elaborate system of nursery rules and regulations, a secret language, and their joint failure to grow up, the introduction of Susan’s new fiancé into their midst is the catalyst that stretches their childhood chains to breaking point… Dramatist Giles Cooper (1918-1966) was “the most original and brilliant dramatist to have written for and been created by radio”. Happy Family was the last play he wrote before his death "and probably his best". He died mysteriously falling from a train in December 1966. First presented at the Hampstead Theatre in 1966 with Wendy Craig as Deborah, it transferred to the West End with Michael Denison, Dulcie Gray and Robert Flemyng. It was last seen in the UK in the West End in 1983 with Stephanie Beacham, Ian Ogilvy, Angela Thorne and James Laurenson in a production directed by Maria Aitken. Director Vivian Munn is best known as an actor with credits including the Young Vic under David Thacker (including playing Osvald in Ghosts in the West End), world tours for Michael Bogdanov and Michael Pennington’s English Shakespeare Company and roles for David Thacker, Max Stafford-Clark, Steven Pimlott and Bill Bryden for the Royal Shakespeare Company.

  • A Short History Of
    Formerly the Actors’ Orphanage Fund & the Actors’ Charitable Trust, TACT. A sketch of ACT’s history th to mark our 125 birthday by Robert Ashby, executive director Mrs Kittie Carson, wife of the editor of the Stage newspaper, became increasingly concerned about the welfare of actors and others connected with the theatre, particularly women and children. She felt that provision by other charities and friendly societies was inadequate; she disliked the requirement of several for one to be a member in order to benefit, that many had age restrictions, and that all were run by men. Mrs Carson’s first move in November 1891 was to found the Theatrical Ladies’ Guild (today The Theatrical Guild). Its purpose was quite simply to provide clothing, whether committee members’ cast-offs, donations from supporters, or items sewn and tailored by the Guild’s members themselves. Mrs Carson’s reasoning was that actresses who constantly travelled and who struggled to make ends meet, had no time to sew, and unemployed actresses certainly could not afford new clothes. Her new charity became closely linked with the Ladies’ Needlework Guild, and committee meetings seemed intertwined with ‘sewing bees’. Mrs Carson’s husband, Charles, alerted readers of the Stage to the need for help. The response from readers reinforced Mrs Carson’s sense of urgency in helping the profession’s children. Care of the young “would add solidity and prestige to the drama and its exponents”. Although the Actors’ Benevolent Fund had been asked repeatedly to take on responsibility for the children since 1888, it had been unwilling, already having so many incapacitated adult actors to support.

    NEWSLETTER / SPRING 2018 Welcome from our Chairman 'Spring is nature's way of saying "Let's Party!"...' Robin Williams I had been looking for some great quote or poem about Spring to reflect the new year and new growth. I found there are many, some risqué some depressing but decided on one that I liked the best, which was from the actor Robin Williams Although it is still very chilly, what with the 'Beast from the East', then the 'Mini Beast from the East' and I am sure there will be a 'Micro Beast' at some point, there is a little blossom around forging its way through the cold, the mornings are bright, there are lambs in the fields and the clocks have gone forward – it doesn’t get more lyrical than that and nor do I..... Ahead is another year of excitement and expectations, new films for some and, perhaps, new positions for others and I am happy to say, the Industry is still very buoyant and there does seem to be continuing investment in studio space. I am also happy to announce that the British Film Designers Guild is also growing, with the continuing addition of new members and corporate sponsors, this in turn allows us to reinvest back into the Guild – stand by for a small survey coming your way, we think some feedback on the events we run, the website, the awards and other things you may need or want from your membership will be helpful for the committee to consider and organise. We had a very successful awards evening at Pinewood in early January which would not have been possible without the very generous support from our Sponsors and the hardwork from Sonja Klaus and Mads Bushnell plus their respective teams.

    1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Every human being in this world is blessed with heart, feeling and emotion which are making us different to other creature. By heart, feeling and emotion human can feel what love, how beautiful it is is and what the effect to our life is. Love has an enormous effect to the people who feel it. It can make them do something beyond his power, does something more to the one he love, and even they to do sacrifice. Sacrifice problem that every human being ever have. Therefore, human being must know that loyalty gives something important for somebody or something else considered to be more valuable than the the others. Sacrifice is the act of giving up something that you want to keep especially in order to do something else or to help someone. (Meriam-WebsterOnline/sacrifice, accesed 23 may 2104, 11:05). People usually do sacrifice to the one he love like family, spouse or other one that he feels important to his life, especially by husband to his wife. This sacrifice was depicted in a drama entitled An Ideal Husband, a play written by Oscar Wilde. An Ideal Husband published in 1896. It was the play of Wilde’s comedy plays to be staged, and it was as a big success. This play consists of 105 pages, 4 scenes. The action of the play is completed within twenty-four hours, and it takes setting in London. An Ideal Husband is often called a “social comedy” because it 1 2 has both a serious social as well comedic plot line.

The scholarship varies enormously both in terms of quality and its approach. lOne thing that is marked within the research that has been conducted is the initial centrality of work emanating from the United States. This is undoubtedly a reflection, in part, of the significance of Hollywood, to the global film audience. Historically little attention has been devoted to material produced 'locally', whether within Europe or beyond.

Analysis of their roles in the creation of the four theatre productions that are used as case studies, Romeo and Juliet (1935), Three Sisters (1938), The Kitchen (1959 & 1961) and Happy Days (1962) enables an evaluation of the complex threads of influence on Motley and Herbert both from within the UK and from the USA and Europe.

  • Ephemera Collection Finding Aid
    EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID J.C. Williamson theatre programs Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT) Australian Collection Development James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s. Along with business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the most dominant in colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J. C. Williamson Ltd. continued under the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who remained involved in the company until the 1970s). J. C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the first three quarters of the 20th century. J. C. Williamson held the license for theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In 1976 the company closed, but the name was licensed until the mid 1980s. This list includes pantomimes held in J. C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J. C. Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements. The list also includes libretti for overseas pantomime productions collected by J. C. Williamson for their corporate archive. Content Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. Please note that the list also includes programs for some films, as well as programs for overseas productions of plays collected by J.
