In the 1970s he attended Hosftra University in New York, where he received Bachelor's and Master's degrees in European history. In 1974, while still attending Hofstra as an undergraduate, Lowery founded The Sean O'Casey Review, which ran for eight years, from 1974 to 1982. His other works include Sean O’Casey Centenary Essays (co-edited with David Krause, 1980); Essays on Sean O’Casey’s Autobiographies: Reflections Upon the Mirror (as editor, 1981); Sean O’Casey’s Autobiographies: An Annotated Index (1983); A Whirlwind in Dublin: The Plough and the Stars Riots (1984); “My Very Dear Sean,” George Jean Nathan’s Letters to Sean O’Casey (as co-editor with Patricia Angelin, 1985); and An O’Casey Annual 1-4 (as editor, 1982-1985). He has served as the editor of numerous publications including Ais Eiri: The Magazine of Irish-America, the ACIS Newsletter, and the Irish Literary Supplement. Sources: Krause, David, and Robert G.

Biographical note: O'Casey Sean O’Casey was born John Casey on March 30, 1880 in Dublin, Ireland, to Michael and Susan (Archer) Casey, a lower-middle class Protestant family. His father died in 1886. As a child, O’Casey suffered from trachoma, which affected his sight and made it difficult for him to succeed scholastically. He worked periodically throughout his adolescence as a stock boy, a van driver, and railway laborer. During this time, he became interested in Irish working class culture, as well as socialism and labor causes. In 1906 he joined the Gaelic League and began learning the Irish language. He changed his name to Sean O’Cathasaigh and began writing, primarily poetry. A few years later he joined the Irish Transport and General Workers Union and its offshoot, the Irish Citizen Army. He took part in the Dublin lock-out strike in 1913; however, he resigned from these organizations in 1914 and criticized their roles in the Easter Rising of 1916. Robert G. Lowery Papers and Collection of Sean O'Casey - Page 5 - MS.1996.025 O’Casey began writing plays around 1916. His first play to be performed was The Shadow of a Gunman, produced in 1923 by the Abbey Theatre. By this time he had assumed the final iteration of his name, Sean O’Casey. He found continued success (and controversy) with subsequent plays, Juno and the Paycock and The Plough and the Stars. In 1926, he met Eileen Carey, an actress who was performing in the West End production of The Plough and the Stars, and they married on September 23, 1927. Together they had three children, Breon, Niall, and Shivaun. Due to an increasingly strained relationship with the Abbey Theatre, which refused to produce his play The Silver Tassie, O’Casey and his new family moved permanently to England in 1929. He continued to write, and during this time produced plays, including Within the Gates (1934), The Star Turns Red (1940), and Purple Dust (1943). He also gained a following across the Atlantic when Lillian Gish starred in a production of Within the Gates in New York City. Towards the end of his life O'Casey contended with increasing blindness. His son, Niall, died from leukemia in 1956. O'Casey died of a heart attack on September 18, 1964, at the age of 84. Sources: Cave, Richard Allen. "O'Casey, Sean (1880-1964), playwright and writer."

  • SHIRLEY MACLAINE to RECEIVE 40Th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
    SHIRLEY MACLAINE TO RECEIVE 40th AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD America’s Highest Honor for a Career in Film to be Presented June 7, 2012 LOS ANGELES, CA, October 9, 2011 – Sir Howard Stringer, Chair of the American Film Institute’s Board of Trustees, announced today the Board’s decision to honor Shirley MacLaine with the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest honor for a career in film. The award will be presented to MacLaine at a gala tribute on Thursday, June 7, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA. TV Land will broadcast the 40th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute on TV Land later in June 2012. The event will celebrate MacLaine’s extraordinary life and all her endeavors – movies, television, Broadway, author and beyond. "Shirley MacLaine is a powerhouse of personality that has illuminated screens large and small across six decades," said Stringer. "From ingénue to screen legend, Shirley has entertained a global audience through song, dance, laughter and tears, and her career as writer, director and producer is even further evidence of her passion for the art form and her seemingly boundless talents. There is only one Shirley MacLaine, and it is AFI’s honor to present her with its 40th Life Achievement Award." Last year’s AFI Tribute brought together icons of the film community to honor Morgan Freeman. Sidney Poitier opened the tribute, and Clint Eastwood presented the award at evening’s end. Also participating were Casey Affleck, Dan Aykroyd, Matthew Broderick, Don Cheadle, Bill Cosby, David Fincher, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd, Matthew McConaughey, Helen Mirren, Rita Moreno, Tim Robbins, Chris Rock, Hilary Swank, Forest Whitaker, Betty White, Renée Zellweger and surprise musical guest Garth Brooks.

  • Film Essay for “The Wind”
    The Wind By Fritzi Kramer “The Wind” is legendary for its raw emotional power, its skillful direction and the triumphant performances of its leads. Lillian Gish, Lars Hanson and director Victor Sjöström (credited during his time in Hollywood as “Seastrom”) had previously worked together on “The Scarlet Letter” (1926), a creative and commer- cial hit, and Gish had chosen a psychological west- ern written by Texas native Dorothy Scarborough as their next vehicle. The novel focuses on Letty, a so- phisticated Virginia girl who is forced to relocate to a remote ranch in Texas. Driven to the brink of mad- ness by the harsh weather and unceasing wind, Letty’s situation becomes worse when circumstanc- es force her to accept a marriage proposal from Lige, a rough cowboy. Roddy, a sophisticated city man, takes advantage of Letty’s fragile mental stage and rapes her. Letty responds by shooting him and then races outside, giving herself to the wind. It’s easy to see the appeal of this intense work, especial- ly in the visual medium of silent film. Gish later wrote that playing innocent heroines, roles she sarcastically described as “Gaga-baby,” was an enormous challenge.1 So much sweetness and light could quickly bore audiences if it wasn’t played just right but a villain could ham things up with impunity. Gish had dabbled in different parts, playing a street- wise tenement dweller in “The Musketeers of Pig Alley” (1912) and a heartless vamp in the lost film “Diane of the Follies” (1916), but film audiences were most taken with her more delicate creations.

  • Colour in the Plays of Sean O'casey
    “To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face”: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey Ryan K Evans This thesis is submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy August 2019 English and Creative Writing “To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face”: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey Declaration This thesis has not been submitted in support of an application for another degree at this or any other university. It is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated. Many of the ideas in this thesis were the product of discussion with my supervisors Tony Pinkney and Tony Sharpe. Ryan Evans Lancaster University, UK Ryan K Evans July 2019 ii “To Throw a Whole World in Colour on a Canvas Though it be but a Man’s Fine Face”: Colour in the Plays of Sean O’Casey Abstract This thesis examines the presence and use of colour in the plays of Sean O’Casey and argues that while a portion of colour in the drama is aesthetic, another portion is intentionally utilized as a means to provide additional contextual commentary, be it cultural, religious, political, or artistic in nature. This practice stems, I argue, in part because of O’Casey’s tendency towards an appreciation for beautiful things stemming from his artistic leanings.

  • Peninsula Players Theatre Will Present a Reading of "The Trip to Bountiful
    Peninsula Players Theatre will present a reading of "The Trip to Bountiful" by Horton Foote, a moving and riveting story from one of our country's greatest writers, at Björklunden 7p.m., Monday, Feb. 3. The play readings are produced with support and in coordination with Door County Reads and its exploration of "The Memory of Old Jack" by Wendell Berry. Join the Players reading and travel with widow Carrie Watts who yearns to go back to the Gulf Coast town where she grew up and raised her family. Admission is free. Berry, a noted poet, novelist, farmer and conservationist, is often described as a 21st century Henry David Thoreau. His native Kentucky and its rural values have inspired his more than 40 books. "Berry is very interested in what urbanization and industrialization have done to our country and its agricultural community," said Players Artistic Director Greg Vinkler. "And he is also involved in conservation, ecology, poetry - a wide variety of interests interconnected by his interest in the human equation in all this. "In selecting our play to read in conjunction with Berry's book, I decided to go in a direction in which memory, change, being an individual and the importance of one's roots in one's life (things which play an enormous role in 'The Memory of Old Jack') all play a part." Greg Vinkler - Artistic Director President Clinton noted when awarding Horton Foote the National Medal of Arts in 2000: "His work is rooted in the tales, the troubles, the heartbreak, and the hopes of all he heard and saw.
