    About Gilbert & Sullivan The Gilbert & Sullivan comic operas were composed between 1871 and 1896 in Victorian London. Their sparkling musical Gilbert & Sullivan Austin scores by Sir Arthur Sullivan and their dazzling lyrics by Sir William S. Gilbert have kept them popular throughout the English-speaking world ever since. They’ve been called the presents “Saturday Night Live” of their day for their satiric appeal, but they have proven universal and timeless in their comic and ironic treatment of human foibles through their “airy persifl age” and “innocent merriment.” And the popular appeal of the music has endeared them to millions who cherish “laughing song and merry dance.” They are arguably the most popular “musical comedies” ever written for the stage.

  • 'Look Who's Got a Case of Dark Prince Envy': Dracula, Televisuality And
    ‘Look Who’s Got a Case of Dark Prince Envy’: Dracula, Televisuality and the Golden Age(s) of TV Horror Stacey Abbott Abstract While Dracula’s presence within the cinema has fuelled extensive scholarship, little attention has been played to his role within television. Where television adaptations are discussed, the analyses are primarily removed from their televisual contexts or discussed as anachronistic, their televisuality used to reaffirm the notion that within a world of modern horrors, Dracula isn’t scary any more. In contrast, this essay examines the relationship between Dracula and television with a specific focus upon Dracula’s contribution to a changing landscape of televisual horror. The essay focuses its analysis upon two key periods of TV Horror — 1950s-1970s and post-2000—, examining the role that Dracula plays on TV and considering how it embodies the increasingly provocative nature of horror. It examines the role that Dracula plays within children’s, family, and prestige drama. It considers how Dracula adaptations interrogate the uncanniness of the televisual medium. It examines the impact of the seeming over-familiarisation of Stoker’s Count by challenging the perception that this familiarity has neutered Dracula as an icon of horror. Instead the essay argues that television offers a space in which Dracula continues to function as horror, destabilising questions of normality and the comforts of quality television programming. Keywords: Dracula, vampire, TV horror, children’s TV, prestige, gothic In the season five premiere episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003), Buffy is confronted by her greatest foe, or perhaps more accurately, her most infamous foe, Dracula (‘Buffy vs Dracula’ , 5.1).

He was born in New York City in 1926 and moved around the country quite a bit due to his father’s work as a stockbroker. He and his dad enjoyed a close relationship, which made it even more devastating when what should have been a routine sinus operation, resulted in the man’s death. In response, Fred retreated into himself, becoming withdrawn and more introspective. One outlet he found for his pain was through the sketches that he enjoyed drawing, a skill he quickly began to develop.
