Susi REVIEWS Editor’s Note: There are unfortunately no reviews of any productions this month – always the same after the summer break. I do hope everyone had a good holiday, and has come back bursting with new ideas for Theatre in Oxfordshire. It is always good to receive a review from ODN, and I am sure we all appreciate the time and effort involved in coming to see Productions and writing reviews afterwards. If anyone else would like to join the Review Panel (and get free tickets to shows!!!), please contact Susi Dalton (details on the back page).

In each session, two or three plays are presented, and then the adjudicator presents a public assessment of the performance and provides constructive comments. Festivals are of value for many reasons: •They provide an exciting learning experience for groups not only through the constructive comments of the adjudicator for their own play, but also inspiration can be gained by watching other entries •They provide a means of meeting other enthusiasts who share the same love of theatre •They provide an opportunity for groups to try something different, take risks and not worry about being financially viable which is usually a major consideration when planning their programme for the year. •It is also a good opportunity for first time directors to direct without the pressure & expectation of putting on a full length play As amateur groups, we should all be looking to improve in any way we can, and where better than in an environment that is both social, informative and in some cases competitive. Researching for this project has been a real eye-opener. I couldn’t believe how many festivals are open to amateur groups all over the country. The National Drama Festival Association website (www.ndfa.org.uk) and www.amdram.co.uk both list around 50 full length and one act festivals. The NDFA also host the annual All British Winners Festival on the Isle of Man, where winners of all their member festivals are eligible to enter. There is also another national theatre festival that also worth a mention - the All England Theatre Festival (AETF) (www.aetf.org.uk). This festival is the only countrywide eliminating contest for one-act plays throughout England. It is open to all amateur groups and entry is via a preliminary festival - either a local festival organised by AETF or an independent local festival affiliated to the AETF. The winners of their regional preliminary rounds then go on to battle it out in the quarterfinals, the semis & then the English Final. However, it doesn’t stop there! The lucky winners of the English final then get to do battle with the Scots, Welsh & Irish to contest the British Final. I believe that if anyone is interested in directing for any of the festivals next year then they should start seriously thinking about it now. Having been involved in more festivals than I care to remember, I can thoroughly recommend the experience – it’s both nerve wracking and exhilarating – but ultimately really good fun. Colin Dolley wrote an article in the Guild of Drama Adjudicators Newsletter last year on selecting plays for festivals which proved interesting reading (I think it still can be found on the amdram website (www.amdram.co.uk) and for all those who are thinking of directing festival pieces next year, I’ll leave you to contemplate is his own personal list of “dos” & “don’ts”: Don’t •Choose a play where the director is out of sympathy with – and not enthusiastic about – the script •Choose a play where you cannot solve the staging difficulties •Be desperate – above all – to win the festival.

  • Traducción E Intertextualidad En Wyrd Sisters De Terry Pratchett
    Traducción e intertextualidad en Wyrd Sisters de Terry Pratchett Miriam Pedrosa de Fez Tutor/a: Damià Alou Seminari 209: Traducció literària Curs 2016-2017 ABSTRACT Intertextuality is present to a greater or lesser extent in all literature works. These intertextual elements can be difficult to detect and even more to translate. Terry Pratchett is noted for his rich use of intertextuality and humour. This Bachelor thesis focuses mainly on his book Wyrd Sisters and the intertextual references that concern Macbeth and Hamlet by Shakespeare. The purpose of this work is to analyse how Terry Pratchett has made use of intertextual references and what kind of references he has employed in order to examine the Spanish translation of these elements. It also focuses on the extent to which Shakespeare’s presence is exhibited in the book. In order to do so, a theoretical background on intertextuality is required. Intertextuality can be expressed through allusion, intertextual humour and parody, and the subcategories implicit verbal allusions and implicit intertextual references to source texts. The selected data is analysed under these concepts. The results show a great deal of usage of these resources. Wyrd Sisters is constructed under the parody premise with Macbeth and Hamlet as hypotexts. Allusion is present mainly by means of implicit verbal allusions. In addition, implicit intertextual references to source texts play an important part in the porpoise of connecting the book to its hypotexts. Finally, the Spanish translations show how the translator has struggled at times to maintain intertextual references, the humour elements or, in some cases, both of them.
