EMILIO PERAL VEGA Madrid, 2017 HACIA UNA POÉTICA DEL TEATRO SOCIAL (1949-1968): ESPAÑA E INGLATERRA Esta investigación ha sido parcialmente financiada por la beca para la Formación del Profesorado Universitario del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte (AP2012- 04404). A mis padres, por la vida, el amor y el sacrificio. A todos mis profesores, por esa otra vida. Al palco de platea número dos del Teatro Municipal Diéguez, porque ahí empezó todo. AGRADECIMIENTOS De todas las páginas que están por venir estoy convencida de que estas son las más necesarias así que, abusando del contexto y de la paciencia del temerario lector, no quisiera dejar pasar la ocasión de mostrar mi agradecimiento a todas aquellas personas que han contribuido a que Hacia una poética del teatro social… saliese adelante. Les debo todo lo bueno que esta tesis pueda albergar así que me temo que tendré que violentar los límites preceptivos. Pido perdón de antemano si mi memoria olvida algún nombre. En primer lugar, he de mencionar al Estado español quien, a través del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte, me dio la oportunidad, gracias a una beca FPU, de disfrutar de un privilegio al que muchos y muy queridos compañeros, con sobrados méritos, no tuvieron la suerte de poder acceder: el de seguir formándome en un ambiente académico, comenzar a investigar e iniciarme tímidamente en la docencia universitaria. Soy muy consciente de la deuda contraída con la sociedad y espero haber estado a la altura de las circunstancias. La realización de esta tesis no hubiese sido posible sin la supervisión, el apoyo y la comprensión del Dr. Emilio Peral Vega cuyo trabajo me sigue fascinando como el eco de ese participio de Gil de Biedma que reverberó, pandémico y celeste, en aquel ya lejano noviembre de 2005. Gracias por la confianza, por hacerme partícipe de proyectos, aventuras y experiencias que han cambiado mi vida y mi percepción de la Literatura para siempre y por todo aquello que no debe consignarse en el apartado de agradecimientos de una tesis doctoral. Infinitas gracias también a la Dra. María M. Delgado y a la Dra. Jordana Mendelson, quienes guiaron con buen tino mis estancias en Londres y Nueva York y me insuflaron energía y aliento en momentos en los que mi investigación, como si de una cocina weskeriana se tratase, estaba a punto de fagocitarme. Asimismo, no puedo olvidarme del profesor José Luis García Barrientos, maestro en dramatología, pero también en escucha y paciencia durante aquel arcádico tiempo del Máster en Teatro y Artes Escénicas y, sobre todo, del Curso de Alta Especialización durante el cual esta idea se empezó a gestar –con mi gratitud a los profesores Garrido y Alburquerque por hacerlo posible. Asimismo, no puedo dejar de mencionar a todos aquellos profesionales que me dedicaron unos minutos de su tiempo para charlar sobre esta investigación y ofrecerme valiosos consejos y/o materiales que poder aplicar: Cerstin Bauer Funke –a quien, además, debo agradecerle encarecidamente la cesión de un ejemplar de su tesis de cátedra (a pesar de que mi inexistente alemán no le haga justicia)–, Seth Baumrin, Sharon G. Feldman, Marion P. Holt, Jo Labanyi, Andrew Lee, Francisco Ortuño Millán, Robert Vorlicky y Martin Welton. Gracias también a los profesores Matteo De Beni, Antonella Gallo, Frauke Bode y Matei Chihaia que convirtieron mis visitas a Verona y Wuppertal en dos de las experiencias más satisfactorias, a nivel académico y humano, de mi brevísima trayectoria académica. Hago extensivo este agradecimiento a sus respectivos departamentos por la amabilidad y el cariño que me regalaron durante aquel diciembre memorable. Gracias. Tampoco puedo olvidarme de los profesores de mi bienamada Complutense que depositaron su confianza en mí para encargarme de alguna de sus clases, especialmente Soledad Arredondo, Mar Mañas y Francisco Sáez Raposo, por el afecto con el que siempre me han tratado. Durante mis noches de insomnio en Brooklyn, escuché en un documental que las autopistas americanas más importantes reproducían los caminos por los cuales transitaban los búfalos antes de que la tierra fuese conquistada. Desde entonces, siempre he pensado 9 en esta tesis como algo semejante: todo lo que en ella pudiese haber de meritorio o de sensato se lo debía a filólogos mayores e infinitamente más sabios que habían trazado previamente esas las rutas. Vaya un recuerdo para esos otros profesores que leemos pero que no conocemos –algunos de los cuales nos dejaron mientras estas páginas luchaban por escribirse tal es el caso de José Monleón, que lo supo todo antes que nadie o Francisco Ruiz Ramón, siempre clarividente. Muy, muy especialmente quiero recordar a Gregorio Torres Nebrera, a quien sí tuve la suerte de poder tratar y de cuyo legado sigo aprendiendo casi cada día. He de mencionar también a Miguel Ángel Fernández Soler, a quien le estaré siempre agradecida por Jimmy Porter y, sobre todo, por el Salieri de Peter Shaffer; a Isabel García San José –mi «seño» Isabel– por Martirio, Miguel Hernández y tantas otras cosas y a Marian Rubio por obligarme a leer Madame Bovary y quitarme de la cabeza eso de estudiar Historia. Muchísimas gracias a mi querida Helen Gush por Bonnie Dobson y por su ayuda inestimable en los archivos del Victoria and Albert Museum así como al personal del Centro de Documentación Teatral y la Fundación Juan March por su ayuda y profesionalidad. Llegué a esta Casa hace ya casi doce años y estoy convencida de este viaje no hubiese sido lo mismo sin las personas que me han acompañado, fuera y dentro de la Complutense en las aulas pero, sobre todo, en la vida. Gracias a todos mis compañeros de Licenciatura –«¡y bien buenos tiempos que eran!»– especialmente a Elena Rueda y gracias eternas a mi Cogollito: Roberto Álvarez, Ramón Ariza, Almudena de Borbón y Marta Torres. Aunque, a veces, nos haya cegado algún relámpago de Romanticismo, estoy convencida de que habrá muchos momentos felices para dejarnos ser en amistad – «Mirad: / somos nosotros». No podéis imaginaros cuánto os quiero y cuánto os debo. Gracias también a mis compañeros del Máster de Teatro y Artes Escénicas y, más concretamente, a mi angry young man por excelencia, César Barló –talento y valentía a raudales– así como a los siempre «jóvenes filólogos» que se cruzaron en mi camino: Pilar, Ana, Oihan, Javi y Ramón. Asimismo, no puedo pasar por alto a todos los compañeros del PIF con los que he tenido la suerte de coincidir durante estos años, especialmente a María Bastianes y Guillermo Gómez por el apoyo y por el amor compartido por el teatro. Mención aparte y especial merecen mis «Jornaleras»: Patricia Barrera, Nerea Fernández de Gobeo, Ruth Martínez y Margot Vivanco, quienes han creído en mí más de lo que la razón invita y sin cuyo apoyo quizá no estaría escribiendo estas líneas. Gracias por acompañarme y cuidarme y, sobre todo, gracias por ser grandísimas compañeras en estos tiempos revueltos –this won’t be the end, my friends! En este mismo sentido, todo mi reconocimiento a Asociación ALEPH, por su ejemplo y por la pureza del empeño de sus socios, especialmente Jessica Cáliz, Álvaro López y Jesús Murillo, cráneos privilegiados, menores en años pero mayores en prez, a quienes aspiro a parecerme cuando crezca. No puedo olvidarme de Colmenar de Oreja, de mi gente. Gracias a Silvia, David y Arturo por ser mi otra familia, a Marta, Jose y Jesús –Richard Gere, se equivocaba, ¡esto no se acaba nunca!–por seguir ahí y gracias también a los que tuvieron que marcharse pero estuvieron. Gracias al Morenito por todo lo que Él sabe, gracias a mis sobrinos y a mis hermanos Carmen, Fernando, Rosa, Carlos y especialmente a Alicia, por volver de la tierra de O’Casey y por darme el tiempo que los últimos momentos de esta tesis requerían. Gracias, de nuevo –nunca es suficiente– a mis padres, Marín y Mary, por absolutamente todo –y perdón, también, por todo. Y, por último, gracias a Carlos, por la última, por el férreo apoyo, por la ayuda impagable y, sobre todo, por enseñarme esa tercera palabra que nunca nadie me había dicho. 10 ÍNDICE ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................. 15 RESUMEN .................................................................................................................. 19 INTRODUCCIÓN: Is Spain different? ....................................................................... 23 1.

  • An Inspector Calls – Education Resource Pack
    An Inspector Calls – Education Resource Pack The Writer JB Priestley was born in Bradford in 1894 and served throughout the First World War before going to Cambridge to study History, Political Science and English. He began writing and selling his work while still a student. He settled in London in 1922 and began a long career as novelist, playwright, essayist and critic. He wrote three novels in the twenties before he had his first major success with his warm-hearted show business story The Good Companions (1929), which has been adapted for the stage (a version was produced at Theatre by the Lake in 2002), television, radio and the cinema. Twenty-eight novels followed, including Angel Pavement (1930), Let the People Sing (1938), Bright Day (1946), Festival at Farbridge (1951) and The Image Men (1968). His first play was his own adaptation of The Good Companions in 1930 and it was followed by 41 others, including Dangerous Corner, Time and the Conways, When We Are Married, Johnson Over Jordan, An Inspector Calls and The Linden Tree, all written within a prolific 20-year period. Priestley wrote 63 other books of essays and criticism (including works on Dickens and Chekhov) and English Journey, his 1943 account of his roamings through England when he observed growing social inequalities during the Depression. Its influence remains almost 80 years on. During the Second World War, his Postscript broadcasts for the BBC were very popular; they appealed to listeners needing words of comfort and sanity at a time of turmoil and danger. Priestley famously reflected on the beauty of the English landscape, the Dunkirk evacuation and a pie steaming in a shop window.

  • The University of Liverpool the REPRESENTATION OF
    The University of Liverpool THE REPRESENTATION OF COMMUNISM IN POST-WAR BRITISH FILM, THEATRE AND ART 1945-63 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of The University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Jacqueline Clulow August 2012 Abstract In contrast to previous cold war studies which have focussed on propaganda and the cultural contest between the USA and USSR, this thesis demonstrates how British film, theatre, and art marginalised communism, and by association political radicalism, through the reinforcement of dominant negative stereotypes. This thesis examines how largely negative portrayals of communism reflected the views of their creators: individuals and groups who were not part of the official state apparatus, but were illustrating their own perception of the communist threat. It is therefore a cultural examination of the visual portrayal of a political ideology within British film, theatre and art. Through the use of recognisable stereotypes, communism was demonised through a variety of guises: from aggressive and sinister domestic militants through to the portrayal of communism as being ‘un-British’ and a challenge to traditional values and beliefs. Although such anti-communist representations were dominant, more sympathetic portrayals gradually emerged, such as the naive, the gullible or those simply disillusioned and seeking change. Through a determined eclectic analysis of a broad range of sources from film, theatre and art this thesis will show that domestic concerns dominate in all three media. An in-depth look at the CPGB, the Artists Group and Realism, will demonstrate that British communism had no positive cultural influence within the media considered, leaving any sympathetic portrayals down to individuals.

Priestley was an accomplished English novelist, playwright and speaker, achieving widespread popularity and critical success in his time. Even today, theatre companies such as Remy Bumppo eagerly take on his works because, to put it simply, they are beloved and reliably entertaining. CHILDHOOD Long before his literary accomplishments, Priestley came from humble roots. Born September 13, 1884, John Priestley would be the only child of Jonathan Priestley, a schoolmaster, and Emma Holt, a mill girl. Despite the early passing of his mother in 1886, Priestley enjoyed a relatively peaceful youth in a small suburb of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. Though a gifted student, Priestley soon grew bored at school, leaving at age 16 to work as a clerk in one of the many Bradford wool firms.

  • Review Angel Pavement and the Good Companions
    What a joy to read JB Priestley’s novels for the first time. I started with Angel Pavement (1930) in 2010, having bought a signed copy on eBay. A memorable and moving book with its evocation of London life during the Depression. It centres on the comings and goings of a cast of sad players, lost souls, connected to the firm of Twigg & Dersingham, agents for the supply of inlays and veneers to the furniture trade. Cleverly woven stories of characters seeking connection with each other, looking for happiness whether in work or in falling in love. I thought JBP’s description of the women’s hostel where Miss Matfield lived sad and wonderful: ‘the downright spinsters in their 30s, early 40s who had grown grey and withered at their typewriters and telephone, who knitted, droned interminably about dull holidays they had had, took to fancy religions, quietly went mad, whose lives narrowed down to a point at which washing stockings became the supreme interest.. You met them drooping about corridors, kettle in hand and they seemed to think about nothing but hot water.’ How did Priestley know this? In 1968 I was a student living at the YWCA in Hampstead and remember we girls were obsessed with getting hot water, queuing for a bath and then finding no hot water left; washing our tights in basins and carrying kettles to each other’s rooms to make coffee. We weren’t, of course, downright spinsters but who knows what would have happened to us if we had not been transient lodgers working towards qualifications and jobs which would make us independent women with opportunities and choices, only dreamed of by 1930s women.

  • Private Lives
    PRIVATE LIVES THE PRESENTATION OF MARRIAGE IN ENGLISH DRAMA 1930 - 1990 GLENN BURNS A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosphy School of English University College, University of New South Wales 1999 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best my my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. ---- -- ----~ i ABSTRACT Despite the broadening of the subject matter of English drama in its "new wave" period from the late nineteen fifties, it is striking to see how much of enduring mainstream English drama has a domestic focus. The purpose of this thesis is to provide the first full-length study of marriage on the English stage from 1930 to 1990. The thesis examines the way in which a number of important playwrights have fashioned drama from the conflict between the public, or institutional, functions of marriage and the private, or relational, functions of marriage. The thesis places this conflict into historical context. This will show that the conflict between the private and public aspects of marriage is not one of clearly opposed opposites but one that is made dynamic by significant social and legal changes to the status, function and conventions of marriage. The thesis also demonstrates that this conflict is further complicated by class considerations and by the particular circumstances of each marital partnership.

Hill, Tom Oldfield, Peter Pomfret, John Boynton] *13.09.1894 - +14.08.1984 Breadford Warwickshire Kraków. 2011 Jerzy GRONAU - Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII - PRIESTLEY John Boynton - 2 - Jerzy GRONAU - Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII - PRIESTLEY John Boynton - 3 - Wstęp: Genezą tego opracowania były: - moja emerytura, wiek (rocznik 1924) i obecnie niepełnosprawność, - chęć powtórzenia swego rodzaju ‘zabawy umysłowej’ którą przeżywałem przy innych pracach podobnego charakteru, - konstatacja: o braku w polskim piśmiennictwie aktualnej bibliografii tego autora. 1. Od początku mej pracy nie posługiwałem się żadną bibliografią, lecz tylko danymi z katalogów bibliotek i sprzedawców książek. Dopiero przy znacznym zaawansowaniu opracowania, dotarłem do wcześniejszych opracowań bibliograficznych (podanych w źródłach opracowania) i uzupełniałem swoje dane. Żadna z polskich bibliotek tak naukowych jak i publicznych nie posiada nawet w przybliżeniu kompletu polskich wydawnictw tego autora. Podobnie jest też z zagranicznymi renomowanymi bibliotekami. 2 W języku angielskim ( także w niemieckim i francuskim) przy porządkowaniu wg alfabetu nazw - tytułów, zamieszanie wprowadzają rodzajniki: ”The, A, An” i inne. Stąd powstały tabele tytułów w języku angielskim ze skróconymi nazwami, bez rodzajników [jak w opracowaniach amerykańskich]. 3. Zaznaczyć muszę, że w językach angielskim, niemieckim i francuskim, wprowadziłem do tabel tylko nazwy spotkanych tytułów bez specjalnej uwagi na określone wydania książkowe czy czasopisma w których ukazywały się prace autora. Nie są to więc ściśle bibliografie a raczej - spisy spotkanych tytułów. Jednak w tabelach z tytułami angielskimi starałem się o wpisanie daty najstarszych wydań danej pracy, oraz nieraz uzupełniałem innymi wydaniami, zwłaszcza gdy nie dysponowałem najstarszymi danymi, lub nowsze wydania różniły się bardzo od starszych wydań.
