Oregon Shakespeare Festival Production History = 1990S 1991 Oregon Shakespeare Festival Production History = 1990s 1991 saw the retirement of Jerry Turner, and the appointment of Henry Woronicz as the third Artistic Director in the Festivals 56 year history. The year also saw our first signed production, The Merchant of Venice. The Allen Pavilion of the Elizabethan Theatre was completed in 1992, providing improved acoustics, sight-lines and technical capabilities. The Festival’s operation in Portland became an independent theatre company — Portland Center Stage — on July 1, 1994. In 1995 Henry Woronicz announces his resignation and Libby Appel is named the new Artistic Director of the Festival. The Festival completes the canon for the third time in 1997, again with “Timon of Athens.” The Festival’s production of Lillian Garrett-Groag’s The Magic Fire plays at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC from November 10 through December 6, 1998, and is selected by Time Magazine as one of the year’s Ten Best Plays. In this decade the Festival produced these World Premieres, including adaptations: 1990 - Peer Gynt,1993 - Cymbeline, 1995 - Emma’s Child, 1996 - Moliere Plays Paris, 1996 – The Darker Face of the Earth, 1997 - The Magic Fire, 1998 - Measure for Measure, 1999 - Rosmersholm,1999 - The Good Person of Szechuan Year Production Director Playwright Theatre 1990 Aristocrats Killian, Philip Friel, Brian Angus Bowmer Theatre 1990 At Long Last Leo Boyd, Kirk Stein, Mark Black Swan 1990 The Comedy of Errors Ramirez, Tom Shakespeare, William Elizabethan Theatre 1990 God's Country Kevin, Michael Dietz, Steven Angus Bowmer Theatre 1990 Henry V Edmondson, James Shakespeare, William Elizabethan Theatre 1990 The House of Blue Leaves McCallum, Sandy Guare, John Angus Bowmer Theatre 1990 The Merry Wives of Windsor Patton, Pat Shakespeare, William Angus Bowmer Theatre 1990 Peer Gynt Turner, Jerry Ibsen, Henrik Angus Bowmer Theatre 1990 The Second Man Woronicz, Henry Behrman, S.N.

  • FRONT9 2.CHP:Corel VENTURA
    144 Issues in Review The Red Bull Repertory in Print, 1605–60 With remarkable consistency throughout the early modern period, Red Bull playgoers are characterized as unlettered, ignorant, or possessed of a crass literary sensibility. Interestingly, though, they are also imagined as avid readers: Webster’s well-known depiction, following the failure at the Red Bull of his The White Devil, declares that ‘most of the people that come to that Play-house, resemble those ignorant asses (who visiting Stationers shoppes their use is not to inquire for good bookes, but new bookes).’1 Webster’s association of Red Bull spectators with book-buyers suggests that the persistent representations of the low literacy of this audience may obscure the extent to which the famously spectacle-driven Red Bull repertory intersects with early modern print culture. The number of Red Bull plays that were published with an explicit theatrical attribution, and more importantly the similarities in design and typography between them and plays belonging to the more elite indoor repertories, would seem to bear this out. As reading material, the Red Bull plays indicate that a seemingly ‘low’ or popular theatrical repertory is not sufficient evidence of the social or educational make-up of its audience. It is crucial at the outset to confront the publication figures that have led scholars to assume that a Red Bull attribution on the title page of a play quarto did not have any meaningful currency in early modern print culture: of the roughly 400 editions of plays published

  • John Webster - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Webster - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Webster(1578 - 1632) John Webster was an English Jacobean dramatist best known for his tragedies The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi, which are often regarded as masterpieces of the early 17th-century English stage. He was a contemporary of <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/william-shakespeare/">William Shakespeare</a>. <b>Biography</b> Webster's life is obscure, and the dates of his birth and death are not known. His father, a coach maker also named John Webster, married a blacksmith's daughter named Elizabeth Coates on 4 November 1577, and it is likely that Webster was born not long after in or near London. The family lived in St. Sepulchre's parish. Father John, and Uncle, Edward Webster, were Freemen of the Merchant Taylors' Company and Webster attended Merchant Taylors' School in Suffolk Lane, London. On 1 August 1598, "John Webster, lately of the New Inn" was admitted to the Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court; in view of the legal interests evident in his dramatic work; this is possibly the playwright. Webster married the 17-year-old Sara Peniall on 18 March 1606, and their first child, John, was baptised at the parish of St Dunstan-in-the-West on 8 March 1605 or 1606. Bequests in the will of a neighbour who died in 1617 indicate that other children were born to him. Most of what is otherwise known of him relates to his theatrical activities.
