Hoity-toityBy HHG. R. Hibbard's introductory essay, while hostile to those speculations by "scholars spending their days in the British Museum", is warmly appreciative of the play in the theater, and comments interestingly on the remarkable revival in LLL's theatrical fortunes since 1927. He suggests (questionably) that Modernism, and particularly the prestige of James Joyce, prompted a revaluation of punning wit: "Good puns were being recognized for what they are, a means of bringing two diverse kinds of experience into a sudden, unexpected, and illuminating juxtaposition with one another." Hibbard rightly emphasizes the play's sustained feminism and its readiness both to carry linguistic ingenuity to surrealistic extremes and to challenge such exuberance by the unexpected late reminders of the realities of death and labor outside the Arcadian park-land. After examining evidence for the existence of the possible sequel, "Love's Labour's Won", Hibbard concludes: "It seems beyond doubt, therefore, that it did exist, that it was published, and that it has since disappeared. Further than that it is not possible to go." Here Hibbard's reluctance to speculate seems rather severe: the strikingly open-ended structure of LLL strongly portends a sequel in which the four lords meet after their year of probation and, after fresh contretemps, finally win the ladies' hands in marriage.Hibbard's footnotes in the text of the play are somewhat austere, in keeping with his general emphasis on the empirical and verifiable.

As I write, I am preparing to direct a new radio production of Animal Farm. It will be part of a big season of plays and programmes about George Orwell to be broadcast in 2013. The ensemble nature of the cast will demand all the skills of the resident Radio Drama Company which includes all four winners of last year’s Carleton Hobbs bursary, already well-seasoned in their radio careers. This seems to me an ideal example of the opportunities provided by radio acting: to play very much against physical type (several different species for most of the company), in a large-cast classic piece of British literature, as a centrepiece in a major retrospective on BBC Radio 4. And these big events in Radio Drama happen several times every year so if you win the contract you are certain to be involved in something comparable. In addition, there are also hundreds of single plays and comedies that are made every year, some by very new writers, others by famous names, covering all kinds of genres and featuring actors that you may never have thought you would meet, all pulled together by specialist radio drama directors and sound operators.

  • R. Darren Gobert ARCADIA and the GHOSTS of PERFORMANCE
    R. Darren Gobert ARCADIA AND THE GHOSTS OF PERFORMANCE Arcadia is a pastoral ideal, immutably suspended in place and time; it is both timeless and, like all dreamed-of utopias, nowhere. Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, on the other hand, is located at once very specifically-Sidley Park-and also wherever this or that production builds it: on the stage of the Lyttelton at the National Theatre, London, in the play's inaugural production, but many places since including London's Haymarket (a transfer) and Duke of York's Theatre (a later revival); Paris's Comedie-Frant;aise (at first in the Theatre du Vieux-Colombier but, after a quick move, in the Salle Richelieu); and Broadway's Vivian Beaumont Theatre and (sixteen years later) its Ethel Barrymore. Of course, each of these geographically disparate Sidley Parks looks different, too; and this spatial heterogeneity is replicated and intensified temporally, as each of these productions-1993, 2009, 1998, 1995, 2011­ was required to toggle among 1809, 1812, and "the present day,"! a stage direction with ever-mutating signification. In other words, its characters may never leave Sidley Park, but Arcadia nonetheless betrays a radically unstable time and space. Spatially, it is here and there-sometimes Simultaneously, when multiple productions are running at once (as happened after the play proliferated in American regional theatres, starting with Washington D.C.'s Arena Stage in 1997). And temporally, like all performed art, it happens now and now and now, from curtain up to curtain down, with each present minute plunging immediately into an irrecuperable past.
