Joan has resigned herself to the fact that Victor will never see beyond her double-chin to a new hair cut or outfit. She even puts up with his constant snoring which keeps her up night after night, but only just. For unbeknownst to Victor, Joan is taking her sweet revenge: spending large amounts of money on his credit card, kitting herself out in a sexy new ward- robe to impress her secret lover, Don. But then, as the bills mount, Victor loses his job. Soon he realises that the only way he can achieve his dream of setting up home with Kamila is to get Joan out of the picture, once and for all. But Victor is about to get a nasty surprise, for he’s not the only one with murder on his mind .

There’s just enough familiarity in the music and the lyrics to make it feel very secure, though our arrangements are always somewhat out of the ordinary, which makes discovering them in rehearsals very interesting. Whatever it is, the singers always have a ball rehearsing the Christmas concert and I hope you enjoy the experience as well. There are some surprises in this one too, not least three different setting of the same lyrics. You might think you Originally known as know ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’, but you haven’t ‘Carol Of The Drum’, ‘The heard Inspiration give it the full treatment… three times Little Drummer Boy’ was over.

    Copyright by Kathryn Rebecca Van Winkle 2019 The Dissertation Committee for Kathryn Rebecca Van Winkle Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “They shall be speaking forever”: Performing Revolution, Riot, and the Nation in the Centenary Commemorations of Ireland’s 1916 Rising Committee: Charlotte Canning, Supervisor Paul Bonin-Rodriguez Elizabeth Cullingford Rebecca Rossen “They shall be speaking forever”: Performing Revolution, Riot, and the Nation in the Centenary Commemorations of Ireland’s 1916 Rising by Kathryn Rebecca Van Winkle Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2019 Dedication In memory of Mark Hunter. And of Lyra McKee. Acknowledgements Making theatre is usually a collaborative act. To a collaborative artist, writing a dissertation about theatre can feel lonely, unmoored, adrift. But I have had incredible good fortune in researching and writing this work buoyed by my teachers, friends, and family. I am deeply grateful for their support, curiosity, and love. All the scholars who form my committee have provided crucial guidance throughout my coursework and my research. My advisor Charlotte Canning has met my assumptions with challenges, my failings with patience and compassion, and my writing with the insight and rigor of a magnificent scholar, and with the great good humor of a magnificent person. The rest of my committee helped round out the methodological concerns I brought to this project. Paul Bonin-Rodriguez’s perspective on performance practice and the relationships artists have with their governments and communities has been indispensible in my research.
