  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

It's a simple philosophy. When perhaps a chap's in trouble. I respond with alacrity. And if my fellow men have problems Whatever they might be They call on me The sterling Wooster B. For despite This easy nature Come the evening When battle dawns To see a Wooster Grab the livestock by both the horns For when a Wooster's mask of pleasure Becomes a steely stare You'll know he's there He'll never turn a hair What would a chap do without it? How would he get through without it? How could he stay true wihtout the Code of the Woosters? If you're at sea, I shall be there, even put off tea to be there Woosters have swum oceans for the Code of Allegiance duly owed to the Wooster Code What a load If a girl Is in the doldrums Not a paddle To her name I'll be there Though frankly speaking Womanizing's not my game But if she's really in a lather Wild eyed and hat askew He'll see her through Old you know who... Whenever it calls, can't ignore it, even give up Ascot for it Woosters have died gladly for the code of For that rugged, heavy load called the Wooster Code What a load Take my card In case you need me, if you're jousting a losing cause Like the chap Who wins the double I can rattle The natural laws So if you're eaten up with anguish I'll snatch you from its jaws No second's pause From one sincerely yours..

  • Directing Ayckbourn (And Contemporary British Comedy) in an American Context: Establishing ‘True Brit’ in the Early Rehearsal Process
    International Journal of Arts and Humanities Vol. 3 No. 5; October 2017 Directing Ayckbourn (and Contemporary British Comedy) in an American Context: Establishing ‘True Brit’ in the Early Rehearsal Process Paul C. Castagno, Ph.D Professor of Theatre UNC-Wilmington, USA Paul Elsam, Ph.D Senior Lecturer Theatre Teesside University, UK ―England and America are two countries divided by a common language.‖ Attributed to George Bernard Shaw ―Englishmen never, ever say what they mean – [that‘s why] most of my writing is so oblique.‖ Alan Ayckbourn in conversation, Instituit Francaise, 26 April 2014 American directors face major challenges staging contemporary British plays. The director must consider appropriate accents and vocal placement, variants in posture or movement predicated on class distinctions, while deciphering ―loaded‖ textual referents that bundle implicit meanings for the British but remain opaque to most American audiences. All of this must be prepared in advance to instill confidence and direction from the beginning of the rehearsal process. Experienced directors working with professional casts will have a reliable dramaturgical process in place, although as Alan Ayckbourn pointedly observes, capturing the essential ―Englishness‖ of his plays most often proves elusive for American casts and directors. This problem is exacerbated for the neophyte director, the MFA director in training, or the faculty director working with undergraduate acting students. This article provides strategies for capturing this elusiveness with particular focus on the faculty director. By sharing our outcomes, we hope to provide a template that will be helpful for directors charged with producing a contemporary British play with American actors. These outcomes stem from an applied research workshop between Paul Castagno, Ph.D, a professor at the University of North Carolina--Wilmington, and Paul Elsam, Ph.D a professional actor and senior lecturer at Teesside University in the UK.
