  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

  • By Mike Klozar Have You Dreamed of Visiting London, but Felt It Would
    By Mike Klozar Have you dreamed of visiting London, but felt it would take a week or longer to sample its historic sites? Think again. You can experience some of London's best in just a couple of days. Day One. • Thames River Walk. Take a famous London Black Cab to the Tower of London. The ride is an experience, not just a taxi. (15-30 min.) • Explore the Tower of London. Keep your tour short, but be sure to check out the Crown Jewels. (1-2 hrs.) • Walk across the Tower Bridge. It's the fancy blue one. (15 min.) From here you get the best view of the Tower of London for photos. • Cross over to Butler's Wharf and enjoy lunch at one of the riverfront restaurants near where Bridget lived in Bridget Jones's Diary. (1.5 hrs.) • Keeping the Thames on your right, you'll come to the warship HMS Belfast. Tours daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (30 min.-1 hr.) • Walk up London Bridge Street to find The Borough Market. Used in countless films, it is said to be the city's oldest fruit and vegetable market, dating from the mid-1200s. (1 hr.) • Back on the river, you'll discover a tiny ship tucked into the docks: a replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind, which braved pirates in the days of yore. (15 min.) • Notable London pubs are situated along the route and are good for a pint, a cup of tea and a deserved break. Kids are welcome.

    ENGLIT 1199: London Across History, Literature, & Film CAPA LONDON PROGRAM Spring 2019 Faculty name : Peter Odell Campbell E-mail : [email protected] Class times : M TBD Classroom location : TBD Office Hours : M TBD & by appointment Course Description The course is designed to introduce students to spatial history of London through literary and cinematic texts by famous auteurs, including Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Zadie Smith. The course will be visited by at least one author or director working in contemporary London. In London Across History, we undertake an historical tour of London, with these and other great writers and film-makers as our guides. We’ll start with a walking tour of the Inns of Court, and the world of eighteenth-century London and law, experi- enced through the lens of M. NourbeSe Philip’s experimental poetry. Our next stop will be the historic house and museum of Sir John Soane—a unique window into the life and arts of London’s imperial elite, and the Romantic poetry of Byron and Blake. We’ll visit a one-of-a-kind tribute to Oscar Wilde, in a pop-up museum open only until March 2019, before moving into the nineteenth century world of detective fiction through Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories of Sherlock Holmes. The second half of the course will continue our considerations of race and empire with screenings of WWI cinema, a visit to the Imperial War Museum, and an investigation into London’s labor and working-class history through the BBC adaptation of Howard’s End and Zadie Smith’s On Beauty.

  • Synopsis of Exploring London Walks
    SPELTHORNE U3AK2 “EXPLORING LONDON” WALK SYNOPSIS WALK 1 – PORTOBELLO MARKET, NOTTING HILL DISTANCE: 4 miles (with possible add on for a detour through Kensington Gardens) GETTING THERE AND BACK START: Ladbroke Grove on the Hammersmith and City Line Via Waterloo to Baker Street change to Hammersmith and City to Ladbroke Grove Or District Line from Richmond to Hammersmith and then Hammersmith and City Line to Ladbroke Grove FINISH: Notting Hill Gate or Queensway (Circle Line) to Bond Street – change to Jubilee to Waterloo ROUTE AND REFRESHMENTS The major problem on this walk is a dearth of Public Toilets, and no clear stopping place for Lunch. There is certainly no shortage of places to have Coffee or snacks, so you will have to make sure that you select a cafe that has Toilets available. The walk starts from Ladbroke Grove Station, and goes the short distance to Portobello Green where you can hopefully find Coffee+Toilet facilities. Portobello Market spreads for about 1 km going from the cheaper end to the more salubrious antique market at the top of the road. It is likely to be very crowded, and it will be much easier to have free time to wander along at your own pace, and meet at place, time suggested by the leader. Continuing to the “peak” of Notting Hill we reach the church of St. John’s which has toilets and a café (sadly only open mid week).
