Frances, would you care to give your consent for this being deposited in the Sound Archive of the British Library? FG: Yes. KD: OK, I wondered if you could tell me a little bit about your general experience of theatre. FG: I think it started when I was about eleven and we did Midsummer Night’s Dream, and that got me hooked on Shakespeare and on theatre in general and I remember desperately wanting to be a director and not knowing how you did that from a girl’s grammar school in Portsmouth. The only stuff to go and see - other than what we made ourselves - were the local amateurs on the pier, and our local amateurs were noted for doing every single play of Shakespeare - they were going for some sort of record and I hit Titus Andronicus year which was huge fun because they had obviously seen the Peter Brook one, the one where Brook brought Lavinia on with great swathes of red velvet on the wrists.

  • ANNA KARENINA on the LARGE and SMALL SCREEN Peter Cochran
    1 ANNA KARENINA ON THE LARGE AND SMALL SCREEN Peter Cochran Edmund Goulding, 1927; Clarence Brown, 1935; Julien Duvivier, 1948; Rudolph Cartier, 1961; Alexandr Zarkhi, 1967; Basil Coleman, 1977; Simon Langton, 1985; Bernard Rose, 1997; David Blair, 2000; Sergei Solovyov, 2005; Joe Wright, 2012 It seems impossible to make a fully-balanced film or television version of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina . Despite the film-makers’ best intentions, something always goes wrong. The main problem is that the films are, for the most part, two hundred years behind Tolstoy in moral complexity, and in frankness about love, sex, and human relations. Not until the year 2000 do they catch up with him. As a result, most early twentieth-century films represent, not a reaction to Tolstoy, but a deflection of attention away from him. The novel is either a beautiful tale of doomed romance, or a dissection of the way the female sexual impulse wreaks havoc if given too loose a rein … or both. Most films opt for the former interpretation, as more marketable. There are some things which novels can do but which films can’t: At the very moment when Vronsky thought that now was the time to overtake Mahotin, Frou-Frou herself, understanding his thoughts, without any incitement on his part, gained ground considerably, and began getting alongside of Mahotin on the most favorable side, close to the inner cord. Mahotin would not let her pass that side. Vronsky had hardly formed the thought that he could perhaps pass on the outer side, when Frou-Frou shifted her pace and began overtaking him on the other side.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. CHAPTER 1 SHYLOCK & PERFORMANCE Such are the controversies which potentially arise from any new production of The Merchant of Venice, that no director or actor can prepare for a fresh interpretation of the character of Shylock without an overshadowing awareness of the implications of getting it wrong. This study is an attempt to describe some of the many and various ways in which productions of The Merchant of Venice have either confronted or side-stepped the daunting theatrical challenge of presenting the most famous Jew in world literature in a play which, most especially in recent times, inescapably lives in the shadow of history. I intend in this performance history to allude to as wide a variety of Shylocks as seems relevant and this will mean paying attention to every production of the play in the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, as well as every major production in London since the time of Irving. For reasons of practicality, I have confined my study to the United Kingdom1 and make few allusions to productions which did not originate in either Stratford or London.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe Edited by Patrick Cheney Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521527341 - The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe Edited by Patrick Cheney Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe provides a full introduc- tion to one of the great pioneers of both the Elizabethan stage and modern English poetry. It recalls that Marlowe was an inventor of the English history play (Edward II) and of Ovidian narrative verse (Hero and Leander), as well as being author of such masterpieces of tragedy and lyric as Doctor Faustus and ‘The Passionate Shepherd to His Love’. Seventeen leading scholars provide accessible and authoritative chapters on Marlowe’s life, texts, style, politics, religion, and classicism. The volume also considers his literary and patronage relationships and his representations of sexuality and gender and of geography and identity; his presence in modern film and theatre; and finally his influence on subsequent writers. The Companion includes a chronology of Marlowe’s life, a note on reference works, and a reading list for each chapter. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521527341 - The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe Edited by Patrick Cheney Frontmatter More information Portrait (putative) of Christopher Marlowe.

KH: This is an interview on 6th November with Edward Hardwicke. Kate Harris is conducting the interview. Can I begin by asking how you first became interested in the theatre? EH: Well it was a bit difficult for me not to be, because both my parents were actors, so I grew up surrounded by that kind of atmosphere. And in the sort of dark moments, which we all have in this business, I often wondered whether I ended up being an actor simply because of that, because I didn’t know anything [else], or whether I really, really wanted to do it off my own bat. Because I was absolutely surrounded by actors. In reality I think I wanted to be a comedian… my great heroes were… was a man called Sid Field who was a wonderful comic – English comic – Danny Kaye, all those people. And of course when I started, which was… I went to drama school in 1952, to RADA – Royal Academy – and I think I’m right in saying that when we graduated two years later there were 90 students who graduated, only one of whom did not work, and that’s because he was not well.

  • Playing King Lear
    3/3/13 Shakespeare Magazine ~ A Review of A Midsummer Night's Dream The following excerpt featured in this issue of Shakespeare is taken from The Shakespeare Book of Lists by Michael LoMonico (Shakespeare magazine editor). Playing King Lear Jan Kott says that King Lear can be compared to “Bach’s Mass in B Minor, to Beethoven’s Fifth and Ninth Symphonies, to Wagner’s Parsifal, Michelangelo’s Last Judgment, or Dante’s Purgatory and Inferno." Harold Bloom suggests that King Lear should only be read and not performed. “Our directors and actors are defeated by this play,” he says. “We ought to keep rereading King Lear and avoid its staged travesties.” Bloom notwithstanding, many of our greatest actors continue that long tradition of taking on the character that Shakespeare refers to www.shakespearemag.com/winter03/lear_list.asp 1/5 3/3/13 Shakespeare Magazine ~ A Review of A Midsummer Night's Dream as “every inch a king.” Richard Burbage—1604 David Garrick—1772 Edwin Forrest—1826 William Charles Macready—1838 William Charles Macready—1851 Tommaso Salvini—1884 Henry Irving—1892 Robert Mantell—1911 John Gielgud—1940 Donald Wolfit—1943 Laurence Olivier—1946 William Devlin—1947 John Gielgud—1950 Michael Redgrave—1953 Orson Welles—1953 Charles Laughton—1959 Paul Scofield—1962 www.shakespearemag.com/winter03/lear_list.asp 2/5 3/3/13 Shakespeare Magazine ~ A Review of A Midsummer Night's Dream Frank Silvera—1962 Morris Carnovsky—1963 John Colicos—1964 Lee J.
