  • MERRIE ENGLAND Music by Edward German
    Press Information The Finborough Theatre is now fully air conditioned Summer Season | April to July 2012 Part of the Finborough Theatre's Celebrating British Music Theatre series Citric Acid in association with Neil McPherson for the Finborough Theatre presents The first professional London production for 52 years MERRIE ENGLAND Music by Edward German. Libretto by Basil Hood. Directed by Alex Sutton. Musical Direction by Eamonn O’ Dwyer. Designed by Philip Lindley. Lighting by Miguel Vicente. Produced by Luke Holbrook. Costume Design by Sophia Anastasiou. Cast: Sammy Andrews. Alexander Beck. Jamie Birkett. Daniel Cane. Luke Courtier. Stephen Darcy. Virge Gilchrist. Tom Giles. Stuart Hickey. Rachel Holbrook. Nichola Jolley. Christopher Killik. Ruth Leavesley. Brendan Matthew. Michael Riseley. Jody Ellen Robinson. Gemma Sandzer. Rhys Saunders. Originally written for the Savoy Theatre in 1902 and a longtime British musical classic, this rediscovery celebrates both the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee as well as the 150th anniversary of the birth of composer Edward German. Merrie England plays at the Finborough Theatre for a limited run of nine Sunday and Monday evening performances and Tuesday matinees, opening on Sunday, 27 May 2012 (Press Night: Monday, 28 May 2012 at 7.30pm). Edward German's patriotic pageant deals with love and rivalries at the court of Queen Elizabeth I as the monarch visits the townsfolk of Windsor to celebrate May Day. With a plot that includes such historical personages as Sir Walter Raleigh and the Earl of Essex, murder plots and tales of witchcraft unravel to the background of the May Day revels... An English light opera in the style made famous by Gilbert and Sullivan, Merrie England features a prominent chorus and a range of principal numbers including ballads, patter songs, duets and quintets.

  • Beckett at Theyoungvic
    Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd’hui 29 (2017) 243–255 brill.com/sbt Beckett at the Young Vic From the Marginal to the Major-Marginal Matthew McFrederick Teaching Fellow in Theatre, University of Reading, uk [email protected] Abstract This article will examine the formative years of the Young Vic in London when pro- ductions of Waiting for Godot, Endgame and Happy Days were staged and embraced by a new generation of theatregoers and practitioners in a metropolitan theatre that began at the edge of the city’s mainstream theatre culture. Through a range of archival resources and an interview with the Young Vic’s founding director, this essay will dis- cuss the reception of these performances and their ability to engage with young audi- ences. It will conclude by tracing the YoungVic’s more recent association with Beckett’s drama, as the theatre has grown into an independent force competing with larger, tra- ditional theatre institutions. Résumé Cet article évoque la formation du Young Vic à Londres, plus précisément les années où y ont été réalisées les mises en scène d’En attendant Godot, de Fin de partie et de Oh les beaux jours pour une nouvelle génération de spectateurs ou de gens du théâtre, immédiatement convaincus, dans un théâtre métropolitain mais qui avait débuté en marge de la culture théâtrale traditionnelle. À partir d’un grand nombre d’archives, d’un interview du directeur et fondateur du Young Vic, cet essai traitera de l’accueil qu’ont rencontré ces spectacles et de leur capacité à intéresser les jeunes publics.

  • Black and Asian Theatre in Britain a History
    Black and Asian Theatre in Britain A History Edited by Colin Chambers First published 2011 ISBN 13: 978-0-415-36513-0 (hbk) ISBN 13: 978-0-415-37598-6 (pbk) Chapter 8 ‘All a we is English’ Colin Chambers CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 8 ‘All A WE IS English’1 Britain under Conservative rule in the 1980s and for much of the 1990s saw black and Asian theatre wax and then wane, its growth the result of earlier forces’ coming to a head and its falling away a consequence of cuts allied to a state-driven cultural project that celebrated the individual over the collective and gave renewed impetus to aggressive, narrow nationalism. How to survive while simultaneously asserting the heterodox, hybrid nature of non-white theatre and its contribution to British theatre was the urgent challenge. Within two years of the Thatcher government’s election to power in 1979, Britain saw perhaps the most serious rioting of its postwar era, which led to major developments in public diversity policy, though less significant change at the level of delivery. The black community could no longer be taken for granted and was demanding its rights as British citizens. The theatre group that epitomized this new urgency and resilience and the need to adapt to survive was the Black Theatre Co-operative (BTC).2 The group was founded by Mustapha Matura and white director Charlie Hanson in 1978 after Hanson had failed to interest any theatres in Welcome Home Jacko, despite Matura’s standing as the leading black playwright of his generation.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. Current feminist theatre scholarship tends to use the term ‘heteronormative’. The predominant use of the term ‘heterosexist’ in this study draws directly from black lesbian feminist Audre Lorde’s notion of ‘Heterosexism [as] the belief in the inherent superiority of one pattern of loving and thereby its right to dominance’ (Lorde, 1984, p. 45). 2. See Diana Fuss, Essentially Speaking: Feminism, Nature and Difference (London: Routledge, 1989) for summaries and discussions of the essen- tialism/constructionism debates. 3. See, for example, Elaine Aston, An Introduction to Feminism and Theatre (London: Routledge, 1995); Elaine Aston, Feminist Views on the English Stage: Women Playwrights, 1990–2000 (Cambridge: CUP, 2003); Mary F. Brewer, Race, Sex and Gender in Contemporary Women’s Theatre: The Construction of ‘Woman’ (Brighton: Sussex Academic Press, 1999); Lizbeth Goodman, Contemporary Feminist Theatres: To Each Her Own (London: Routledge, 1993); and Gabriele Griffin Contemporary Black and Asian Women Playwrights in Britain (Cambridge: CUP, 2003). 4.
