    re p resenting the american theatre DRAMATISTS by publishing and licensing the works PLAY SERVICE, INC. of new and established playwrights. atpIssuel 4,aFall 1999 y In Kindergarten with the Author of WIT aggie Edson — the celebrated playwright who is so far Off- Broadway, she’s below the Mason-Dixon line — is performing a Mdaily ritual known as Wiggle Down. " Tapping my toe, just tapping my toe" she sings, to the tune of "Singin' in the Rain," before a crowd of kindergarteners at a downtown elementary school in Atlanta. "What a glorious feeling, I'm — nodding my head!" The kids gleefully tap their toes and nod themselves silly as they sing along. "Give yourselves a standing O!" Ms. Edson cries, when the song ends. Her charges scramble to their feet and clap their hands, sending their arms arcing overhead in a giant "O." This willowy 37-year-old woman with tousled brown hair and a big grin couldn't seem more different from Dr. Vivian Bearing, the brilliant, emotionally remote English professor who is the heroine of her play WIT — which has won such unanimous critical acclaim in its small Off- Broadway production. Vivian is a 50-year-old scholar who has devoted her life to the study of John Donne's "Holy Sonnets." When we meet her, she is dying of very placement of a comma crystallizing mysteries of life and death for ovarian cancer. Bald from chemotherapy, she makes her entrance clad Vivian and her audience. For this feat, one critic demanded that Ms. Edson in a hospital gown, dragging an IV pole.

  • Tlte Kit KAT Klub 0Rcltestra
    THE willkommen ~~ Menvenue welcome -· ~EAUTiFUt FROM TltE DiRECTOR WILLKOMMEN, BIENVENUE, WELCOME ... .. to the Kit Kat Klub circa 1930's Berlin. Here, the decline of the social openness, artistic expression, and political freedom of the Weimar Republic intersects with the rise of Nazism. "Innocent" Sally Bowles performs at the club and her unconventional relationship with Clifford Bradshaw-an American novelist looking for inspiration- is paralleled by a gentle romance between Cliff's landlady, Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz, a German )ew. These two doomed relationships develop in a changing world only to be suddenly enveloped by an evil force that would soon alter history. When selecting a show to propose for production, I couldn't help but feel that the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre was a perfect venue for Cabaret! The show opens in late 1929 and, while researching, I discovered that Ann Arbor Civic Theatre premiered in 1929 and the Mendelssohn Theatre opened in 1929. The theme of the dangers and risks of political apathy resonated as well. (As Cliff observes: "It was the end of the world ... ! was dancing with Sally Bowles and we were both fast asleep~) Combining all of this with a stunning show full of rich, complicated characters, mesmerizing music and unlimited opportunities to investigate - the choice was easy and exciting! Cabaret is rich in history. In 1929, (that year again!) Christopher Isherwood, an Englishman living in Germany, wrote, "I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking." Among several other characters (his tales were eventually published in America as The Berlin Stories), he described an English woman named Sally Bowles, "one of those individuals whom respectable society shuns in horror~ Playwright john Van Druten recognized Sally's potential for the stage and built a love story around her in his 1951 play, I Am A Camera.

    EDwaRD H. FRIEDmaN 1 Vanderbilt University - [email protected] Artículo recibido: 30/10/2011 - aceptado: 15/11/2011 TEACHING THE OTHER: CULTURE WITH A DIFFERENCE To Ana Antón Pacheco and Félix Martín RESUMEN:1 Al enseñar obras de la literatura hispánica a estudiantes angloparlantes, el ins- tructor tiene que formular estrategias para introducir no sólo los textos mismos sino también una serie de contextos culturales e históricos. Como profesor, he buscado maneras de presentar una introducción que ayude a los estudiantes a comprender las materias y que posibilite, a la vez, una lectura relativamente espontánea. Cuando se me presentó la oportunidad de enseñar dos seminarios sobre literatura y drama norteamericanos a estudiantes de posgrado en la Univer- sidad Complutense de Madrid, hice uso de las técnicas que suelo emplear en los Estados Unidos para iniciar el proceso de lectura y discusión de textos. Son dis- tintos los detalles, pero la enseñanza de «lo Otro» en los dos sistemas académicos tiene puntos de contacto en cuanto a la aproximación metodológica. PALABRAS C LAVE : Pedagogía, el Siglo de Oro, literatura y drama norteamericanos contem- poráneos, los marginados, los márgenes literarios ABSTRACT: When one teaches Spanish and Spanish American literature primarily to native speakers of English, it is important to develop techniques of introducing not only texts but cul- tural and historical contexts. My goal as an instructor is to present important elements as background materials, while allowing the students to experience the literature in a spon- 1 Edward H.
