Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles From the publication of the first volumes in 1984 the General Editor of the New Cambridge Shakespeare was Philip Brockbank and the Associate General Editors were Brian Gibbons and Robin Hood. From 1990 to 1994 the General Editor was Brian Gibbons and the Associate General Editors were A. R. Braunmuller and Robin Hood. THE MERCHAnt OF VENICE The Merchant of Venice has been performed more often than any other comedy by Shakespeare. Molly Mahood pays special attention to the expectations of the play’s first audience, and to our modern experience of seeing and hearing the play. In a substantial new addition to the Introduction, Charles Edelman focuses on the play’s sex- ual politics and recent scholarship devoted to the position of Jews in Shakespeare’s time. He surveys the international scope and diversity of theatrical interpretations of The Merchant in the 1980s and 1990s and their different ways of tackling the troubling figure of Shylock. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-82544-3 - The Merchant of Venice Edited by M.

  • The Ideal of Ensemble Practice in Twentieth-Century British Theatre, 1900-1968 Philippa Burt Goldsmiths, University of London P
    The Ideal of Ensemble Practice in Twentieth-century British Theatre, 1900-1968 Philippa Burt Goldsmiths, University of London PhD January 2015 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own and has not been and will not be submitted, in whole or in part, to any other university for the award of any other degree. Philippa Burt 2 Acknowledgements This thesis benefitted from the help, support and advice of a great number of people. First and foremost, I would like to thank Professor Maria Shevtsova for her tireless encouragement, support, faith, humour and wise counsel. Words cannot begin to express the depth of my gratitude to her. She has shaped my view of the theatre and my view of the world, and she has shown me the importance of maintaining one’s integrity at all costs. She has been an indispensable and inspirational guide throughout this process, and I am truly honoured to have her as a mentor, walking by my side on my journey into academia. The archival research at the centre of this thesis was made possible by the assistance, co-operation and generosity of staff at several libraries and institutions, including the V&A Archive at Blythe House, the Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive, the National Archives in Kew, the Fabian Archives at the London School of Economics, the National Theatre Archive and the Clive Barker Archive at Rose Bruford College. Dale Stinchcomb and Michael Gilmore were particularly helpful in providing me with remote access to invaluable material held at the Houghton Library, Harvard and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin, respectively.

  • Chicago's Goodman Theatres the Transition from a Division of the Art Institute of Chicago to an Independent Regional Theatre
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • The Last Hunt of Jim Corbett by Joseph Jordania University of Melbourne
    Presentation treatment Of the feature film The Last Hunt of Jim Corbett By Joseph Jordania University of Melbourne Logline: An aging legendary hunter-turned conservationist Jim Corbett is asked to go after a very cunning man-eating tiger that is terrorizing mountain villages and thousands of woodchoppers at the Indian-Nepalese border. The hunter finds himself trapped between the governmental intrigues and the man-eating tiger who is hunting Corbett. Genre: environmental drama-suspense I N T R O D U C T I O N This text is the result of detailed investigation of the author of the story the last hunt of the legendary hunter, conservationist and author Jim Corbett. This hunt took place in Kumaon, North India, between the small villages Chuka and Thak, next to Nepal, in October-November 1938. This is the last story of Corbett’s book “Man-Eaters of Kumaon” (1944. Oxford University Press). The book became an instant classic and bestseller. From the early 1970s, when I read this story for the first time, I was profoundly moved by its sheer dramatic, thriller-like atmosphere, where the hunter and the man-eating tiger stalk each other in the jungles and the streets of the deserted Indian village. Every bit of the story, starting with the heart-melting accidental meeting of Corbett with the future man-eating tigress with small cubs (during Corbett’s previous hunt), followed by the tragic change of the life of the tigress, caused by the poacher-inflicted wounds, attacks on humans, and then hair-rising duel of the hunter and the clever tigress, culminating in the dramatic encounter of the hunter and the tigress on the dying seconds of the daylight, was the most dramatic story I have ever read.
