Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 The Representation of Reality and Fantasy In the Films of Powell and Pressburger: 1939-1946 This thesis will examine the films planned or made by Powell and Pressburger in this period, with these aims: to demonstrate the way the contemporary realities of wartime Britain (political, social, cultural, economic) are represented in these films, and how the realities of British history (together with information supplied by the Ministry of Information and other government ministries) form the basis of much of their propaganda. to chart the changes in the stylistic combination of realism, naturalism, expressionism and surrealism, to show that all of these films are neither purely realist nor seamless products of artifice but carefully constructed narratives which use fantasy genres (spy stories, rural myths, futuristic utopias, dreams and hallucinations) to convey their message.

  • John Boorman
    13/15 John Boorman BFI Southbank to honour the director with a BFI Fellowship on 25 March followed by a career retrospective throughout April On 25 March John Boorman will be presented a BFI Fellowship – the highest accolade that the nation’s leading organisation for film can award. To mark the occasion he will be interviewed by Michel Ciment, on-stage at BFI Southbank, to launch a major retrospective of his work and to celebrate his recent 80th birthday. There will also be an Extended Run and nationwide release of Point Blank (1967) and an exhibition of artefacts from Boorman’s personal archive, on display in the Mezzanine – including a dress worn by Helen Mirren in Excalibur (1981). To complement this season there will be an exclusive run of Me and Me Dad (2011), an intimate insight of life in the Boorman family, directed by John’s daughter Katrine Boorman (who will appear in conversation on 27 March, following a preview of her film). According to Philip French, John Boorman is ‘one of the greatest filmmakers this country has produced’. He began his career as a documentary director for the BBC with Citizen 63 (BBC, 1963) and The Newcomers (BBC, 1964), and this season will feature these early works and follow his varied filmmaking career to date. His first feature film, Catch Us If You Can (1965), was a showcase for the Dave Clark Five and caught the attention and support of Pauline Kael. It was followed by The Quarry: Portrait of a Man as a Parylsed Artist (BBC, 1966), inspired by Fellini’s 8½ and events in Boorman’s own life.

  • Theatre Archive Project: Interview with Michael Codron
    THEATRE ARCHIVE PROJECT http://sounds.bl.uk Michael Codron – interview transcript Interviewer: Adam Smith 7 April 2009 Producer. Actors; Alphabetical Order; The Birthday Party; The Caretaker; censorship; critics; directors; 'Dirty Plays' controversy; Entertaining Mr Sloane; Gallery First Nighters; The Homecoming; Jack Hylton The Killing of Sister George; Joan Littlewood; Look Back in Anger; London Arts Theatre; Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith; Donald McWhinnie; Joe Orton; Harold Pinter; producers; Peggy Ramsay; scripts; Share My Lettuce; There's a Girl in My Soup; Kenneth Williams; writers. AS: You have been described as both a producer and an impresario, although some critics claim that there is nowadays an uncertainty as to the precise meaning of these words. Given the slippage between the two, and that you have been described using each of the terms, but that they are not mutually exclusive, which would you describe yourself as? MC: I sometimes say impresario but it sounds like the wretched man from Pinocchio, doesn't it? Do you remember that man that tried to capture Pinocchio? But I really am a producer, a theatre producer. Yes, impresario sounds rather evil, doesn't it? [laughs] Perhaps I am evil, occasionally. AS: So how would you define this profession before 1968, what would it involve? MC: As far as I'm concerned? Well you’re asking me to talk about 1945 aren't you first, when I was all of 15. AS: What about after you became a producer, how would you define the profession? MC: No I didn't become a producer until 1950-something. AS: You're right, we'll do it chronologically.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. 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.

Na criação contemporânea, a violência continua a ser um dos mais insistentes refrãos temáticos motivando trabalhos que fazem confundir a realidade e a ficção, a violência e a sua representação. Este estudo analisa um corpus seleccionado de dramaturgia britânica de matriz realista do pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial, incluindo textos de John Whiting (Saints’s Day, 1951), Brendan Behan (The Quare Fellow, 1954), John Osborne (Look Back in Anger, 1956), Harold Pinter (The Birthday Party, 1958), Arnold Wesker (Chicken Soup with Barley, 1958; Roots, 1959; e I’m Talking about Jerusalem, 1960), John Arden (Serjeant Musgrave’s Dance, 1959), David Rudkin (Afore Night Come, 1962), Giles Cooper (Everything in the Garden, 1962), Edward Bond (Saved, 1965) e Charles Wood (Dingo, 1967). São textos reportados a uma geração de dramaturgos conhecidos como “Angry Young Men” e por uma Segunda Vaga de dramaturgos dos anos sessenta que a, seu modo, respondem às profundas alterações na geometria política e social, motivadas, em grande medida, pela Segunda Guerra Mundial.

  • Angus Mackay Diaries Volume III (1966-1977)
    Angus Mackay Diaries Volume III (1966-1977) ANGUS MACKAY DIARY NO. 35 Friday July 22 1966 David rang up last night after his first night, about ten to twelve, from the ‘phone-box outside his digs. (The digs are about ¼ of an hours walk, on the way to Walton-on-the-Naze.) He was absolutely miserable. I have never heard him so depressed. As far as we could tell, there was nothing tangible for him to be depressed about, except that he’d felt ‘wooden’, ‘spastic’, ‘the whole company got the laughs’. I’d say this last had something to do with it, as he’d thought himself rather good and better than the others. An audience soon tells one, and the leading girl, whom he hadn’t thought much of ‘came up fantastically.’ That would throw him technically, too. But principally it’s, of course, that it’s all much harder than he expected. As Peter Hoar said he gave a very good period performance, and he’s playing the murderer, not the detective’s assistant, in the next play. I don’t think they’ve lost faith in him yet! (Also, ‘Jane’ is almost certainly by far the better part of the two – Cinderella usually is – and she probably got a lot of the laughs and the praise.) I hope he’ll pick himself up quickly and get on. This will be the testing time, as he has obviously a tendency to give in unless everything is easy for him. So there he is miserable in digs all by himself, about his acting, just as I wanted him to be.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.
