  • GOLDENHURST Lunech Wnith Cjuoliaun Cnlatry Eatr Geodldenhurst and a Review of His Recently-Published Novel ‘Briefs Encountered’
    A MAGAZINE ABOUT THE LIFE AND WORK OF SIR NOËL COWARD • MAY 2012 News and views of the Star Quality exhibition - and the ‘Noël Coward in New York’ festival. GOLDENHURST LunEch wnith cJuoliaun Cnlatry eatr Geodldenhurst and a review of his recently-published novel ‘Briefs Encountered’. Noël Coward at ‘Look Out’ - Firefly, Jamaica PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL NOËL COWARD SOCIETY - 1- www.noëlcoward.net hat an amazing month March was! Apart from reasonable weather, two of the most significant events for me marked an early opening of Spring EDITORIAL long before an Easter chick was a wink in a cockerel’s eye. Out of the blue came a charming invitation from Julian Clary for the officers of the Society to visit The Old Manor - but forever Goldenhurst in the eye of the Coward faithful - for lunch and a celebration of the completed renovation of Noël’s country retreat in Kent and the publication of Julian’s novel Briefs Encountered. As Daniel Massey said once about an invitation to Noël’s for lunch, “Well, you don’t turn that down!” And we didn’t! More on the visit in this edition. The climax of the month was the opening of Star Quality - The World of Noël Coward at the Lincoln Center in New York. This exhibition has been rightly trumpeted in Home Chat for the past few editions and the result did not let the herald down. This really is an impressive achievement. As a result of an initial partnership between the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (NYPL) and The Noël Coward Foundation (NCF) the idea was born - and together with other partners - the exhibition was created.

Opening night for JUNK is Thursday, November 2. It’s 1985. Robert Merkin (to be played by Steven Pasquale), the resident genius of the upstart investment firm Sacker Lowell, has just landed on the cover of Time Magazine. Hailed as "America's Alchemist," his proclamation that "debt is an asset" has propelled him to dizzying heights. Zealously promoting his belief in the near-sacred infallibility of markets, he is trying to re-shape the world. JUNK is the story of Merkin's assault on American capitalism's holy of holies, the “deal of the decade,” his attempt to takeover an iconic American manufacturing company and, in the process, to change all the rules.

  • Kass the Interpretation of the Shrew.Pdf
    I give permission for public access to my thesis and for any copying to be done at the discretion of the archives librarian and/or the College librarian. _________________________________ Katrina Kass May 7, 2012 Kass 2 Abstract The Taming of the Shrew is one of William Shakespeare’s most challenging plays. While all of his plays present their own complexities, the gender dynamics and politics of the main plot of this comedy make it particularly difficult for modern scholars and thespians alike. And yet, The Taming of the Shrew has remained popular among audiences for well over 400 years. Written early in Shakespeare’s career, The Taming of the Shrew tells the story of an obstinate woman, Kate, who is forced into a marriage with Petruchio so that her younger, more desirable sister may be courted by her several eager suitors. From the very beginning of their relationship, Kate and Petruchio show no love or respect towards each other. They spar with each other as Petruchio tries to force Kate into submission and she resists him. But by withholding various things— food, sleep, new clothing—from Kate, Petruchio gradually trains her to be an obedient wife. This tale is performed as a means of educating a drunken tinker named Christopher Sly, thus creating an overall play-within-a-play format. This project looks at the various ways in which directors and actors have interpreted The Taming of the Shrew for the theater. Using video recordings, photographs, reviews, and scholarly works, I will examine several recent stage productions from the last 35 years.
