  • Natural Pursuits – the Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011
    PRESS RELEASE June 2011 11/49 Natural Pursuits – The Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011 BFI Southbank celebrates the tragi-comic screen dramas of the late Simon Gray. A writer of immense wit and intellectual charm whose razor-sharp dialogue is unsurpassed. The month long season features some of Gray’s most celebrated work including screenings of Unnatural Pursuits (1992), After Pilkington (1987) and They Never Slept (1991) which feature performances by British acting elite including Alan Bates, Edward Fox and Miranda Richardson. Following the screening of They Never Slept, a panel of guests including producer Kenith Trodd, and directors Udayan Prasad and Christopher Morahan will discuss his great contribution to television drama and the theatre illustrated with clips of some of his early and rare television plays to be chaired by Broadcaster Matthew Sweet. After the screening of Butley on Sunday 14 Aug, Lindsay Posner, director of the 40th anniversary revival of the play currently running at the Duchess Theatre will also be welcomed to the BFI stage for a Q&A. Gray wrote prolifically from the mid-60s onwards for both the West End stage (Otherwise Engaged, Quartermaine’s Terms, The Late Middle Classes, Butley) and for television, where such important early successes such as Death of a Teddy Bear, Man in a Sidecar and The Caramel Crisis were carelessly wiped. His most fertile period writing specifically for TV occurred between 1975 and 1993 during a close collaboration with producer Kenith Trodd and four major directors, Michael Lindsay- Hogg, Christopher Morahan, Udayan Prasad and Pat O’Connor.

    Research Scholar ISSN 2320 – 6101 www.researchscholar.co.in An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations Impact Factor 0.793 (IIFS) HOWARD BRENTON’S POLITICS AS THEATRE: A STUDY OF HOWARD BRENTON’S PLAYS Dr.(Mrs)N.Velmani Associate Professor of English, V.V.Vanniaperumal College for Women Virudhunagar-626001 Theatre is an attempt at the realization of truth. In the case of political theatre, it is truth about power. When one labels a play as political theatre, he or she means that it is the theatrical experience aimed at influencing the people politically, to promote views about specific socio- politico-historical events which may be used as spring boards to initiate the audience into political consciousness. Needless to say, politics has become the common place of theatre as social context. The dramatists are either ‘committed’ to political ideologies which mean their political views enter into the art or politically ‘committed’ dramatists who utilise theatre effect the change of consciousness enabling the audience to participate more fully in the lives of their fellow human beings. The ‘committed’ artist becomes ‘aesthetic’ by creating art form to support his political ideologies and ‘conscious’ artist becomes ‘political’ promoting political problems of the past and critical insight into tasks of the present and future. There is no such thing as a simple unchanging text. For example, the production of John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger (8 May) was generally considered to be a turning point in British contemporary theatre reviewed as a play of extraordinary importance (Financial Times, 10 May 1956). Thirty three years later in a 1989 production of Look Back in Anger at the Lyric Theatre, London, one reviewer John Peter in The Sunday Times (13 August 1989) wrote as Osborne was approaching his sixtieth birthday.

  • The Man Who Invented Christmas Pk
    THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS Directed by Bharat Nalluri Starring Dan Stevens, Christopher Plummer and Jonathan Pryce UK release date | 1st December 2017 Running time | 104 minutes Certificate | PG Press information | Saffeya Shebli | [email protected] | 020 7377 1407 1 OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS The Man Who Invented Christmas tells of the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today. LONG SYNOPSIS The bestselling writer in Victorian London sets out to revive his flagging career and reimagines Yuletide celebrations in The Man Who Invented Christmas, an entertaining and enchanting glimpse into the life and mind of master storyteller Charles Dickens as he creates the quintessential holiday tale, A Christmas Carol. After a string of successful novels, world-renowned writer Dickens (Dan Stevens) has had three flops in a row. With the needs of his burgeoning family and his own extravagance rapidly emptying his pockets, Dickens grows desperate for another bestseller. Tormented by writer’s block and at odds with his publishers, he grasps at an idea for a surefire hit, a Christmas story he hopes will capture the imagination of his fans and solve his financial problems. But with only six weeks to write and publish the book before the holiday, and without the support of his publishers – who question why anyone would ever read a book about Christmas – he will have to work feverishly to meet his deadline.

  • Butley's Painful Discoveries Are Made Against a Back­ Ground of Petty University Politics and Unease About Student Dissent
    ''::.,,'1-r •, . ~., .,, The QuestorsTheatre Company lF-IE QUE5TORS lF-IFATRE COMPANY First performance May 31st 1980 First staged at the Criterion Theatre in 1971, 'Sutley' is a play about a university lecturer, Ben Sutley, who shares his office and his flat with a former star pupil, Joey, now also a teacher. On the day when the play takes place Sutley faces both the ultimate breakdown of his marriage and of his intense friendship with Joey. Butley's painful discoveries are made against a back­ ground of petty university politics and unease about student dissent. He greets them with a blistering torrent of repartee and rhetoric. 'Sutley ..... could well join that distinguished gallery of human debris represented by Willie Loman, Jimmy Porter and Bill Maitland in post-war drama ...... What is so wondrous about a play so basically defeatist and hurtful is its ability to be funny. The stark, unsentimental approach to the homosexual relationship, the cynical send-up of academic life, the sceptical view of the teacher-pupil associations are all stunningly illuminated by continuous explosions of sardonic, needling, feline, vituperative and civilised lines.
