  • Parolles the Play “All’S Well That Ends Well”
    THE MAN PAROLLES THE PLAY “ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL” THE FACTS WRITTEN: Shakespeare wrote the play in 1602 between “Troilus and Cressida” and “Measure for Measure”; all three “comedies” are considered to be Shakespeare’s “Problem Plays”. PUBLISHED: The play was not published until its inclusion twenty-one years later in the 1623 Folio. AGE: The Bard was 38 years old when he wrote the play. (Shakespeare B.1564-D.1616) CHRONO: The play falls in 25th place in the canon of 39 plays -- a dark period in Shakespeare’s writing, coincidentally just prior to the 1603 recurrence of bubonic plague which temporarily closed the theaters off and on until the Great Fire of London in 1666 which effectively halted the tragic epidemic. GENRE: Even though the play is considered a “comedy” it defies being placed in that genre. “Modern criticism has sought other terms than comedy and the label ‘problem play’ was first attached to it in 1896 by English scholar, Frederick S. Boas. Frederick S. Boas (1896): The play produces neither “simple joy nor pain; we are excited, fascinated, perplexed; for the issues raised preclude a completely satisfactory outcome”. The Arden Shakespeare scholars add to Boas’ comments: “This is arguably the very source of the play’s interest for us, as it Page 2 complicates and holds up for criticism the wish-fulfilling logic of comedy itself. Helena desires to assure herself and us that: ‘All’s well that ends well yet, / Though time seems so adverse and means unfit.’ Even if the action ‘ends well’, the ‘means unfit’ by which it does so must challenge the comic claim.

  • Vivien Leigh, Actress and Icon: Introduction Kate Dorney and Maggie B
    1 Vivien Leigh, actress and icon: introduction Kate Dorney and Maggie B. Gale This volume of essays has been generated as a response to the Victoria and Albert Museum ’ s 2013 acquisition of twentieth-century actress Vivien Leigh ’ s personal archive made up of, amongst other things: letters, scripts, photographs, personal documents, bills, speeches, appointment diaries, lists of luggage contents for tours and even lists of domestic items for repair. Among the tasks this introductory chapter undertakes is to outline the ways in which the archive has been con- structed – which elements were put together by Leigh ’ s mother and daughter, how the archive was and has since been arranged – and what the constructed nature of this evidence might tell us about the curation of Leigh ’ s life and legacy. 1 Many of the essays in this volume have made use of materials from the archive, as well as drawing on other related collections such as the Laurence Olivier archive at the British Library and the Jack Merivale papers at the British Film Institute. These mate- rials have been used in combination with contemporary approaches to theatre historiography, feminist biography and screen and celebrity studies with the specifi c aim of providing new readings of Leigh as an actress and public fi gure. Vivien Leigh: Actress and Icon explores the frameworks within which Leigh ’ s work has been analysed to date. We are interested in how she, and others, shaped and projected her public persona, and construc- tions of her personal and domestic life, as well as looking at the ways in which she approached the craft of acting for stage and screen.

  • The Man from Mo' Wax + Q&A with James Lavelle UK-Jap
    IN PERSON Talent Q&As and rare appearances Sonic Cinema presents: The Man From Mo’ Wax + Q&A with James Lavelle UK-Japan-USA 2016. Dir Matthew Jones. 109min. Digital. Cert tbc Almost 10 years in the making, The Man From Mo’ Wax tells the remarkable story of James Lavelle, one of the most enigmatic figures in contemporary British culture. Drawing upon meticulous research and exclusive access to personal home footage, debut director Matthew Jones assembles archive footage, stills and original interviews to chart Lavelle’s phenomenal rise. It includes him establishing Mo’ Wax as one of the UK’s most significant independent record labels and redefining what it means to be a DJ. In this film portrait that reflects the boom and bust of the modern music industry and a life that takes in some decidedly flawed decision- making (both personal and professional), Lavelle emerges as an innovative artist who thinks big and consistently overcomes adversity. James Lavelle will be DJing in the BFI Bar & Kitchen after the screening Tickets £16.50, concs £13.20 (Members pay £2 less) THU 30 AUG 20:30 NFT1 PREVIEWS Catch the latest film and TV alongside Q&As and special events Preview: The Eyes of Orson Welles + Q&A with director Mark Cousins UK 2018.

He painted and drew throughout his life, sketching set designs, storyboards, ideas and places and people that inspired him. Award-winning director Mark Cousins, a life-long Welles admirer, is granted unprecedented access to Welles’ sketches – most of which have never been seen outside of his family – and with it builds a picture of the unique way Welles saw the world.
