As the dinner winds down, the Dangerous Corner of Dangerous Corner brother's suicide comes up. Robert's brother, Martin, Dangerous Corner died from a gunshot wound, which an investigation had ruled a suicide, brought on by Dangerous Corner guilt over stealing a bond from their company, of which he was also a partner. But now, during their dinner conversation, Dangerous Corner comments made by his companions don't add Dangerous Corner in Robert's mind. As he begins to question them, Freda confesses that she had been secretly in love with Martin, and Ann reveals that she has been carrying a torch for Robert for years. It was this unspoken love which caused Ann to not speak honestly at the hearing into Martin's death, for she thought that it might have been Robert, not Martin, who stole the bond. Betty announces that she has been in love Dangerous Corner Charles, who confesses to having stolen the bond, in order to satisfy a debt owed by Betty, even though he has been in love with Ann. Ann then confesses that Martin did not commit suicide as everyone thought, but that she Dangerous Corner shot him. Unable to deal with the guilt of all Dangerous Corner confessions, Robert leaves the Dangerous Corner and shoots himself.

Priestley was born in Bradford in Yorkshire, the setting for many of his Dangerous Corner, and was educated at Cambridge University. Although he first established a Dangerous Corner with critical writings such as The English Comic CharactersThe English Noveland English Humor Dangerous Corner, it is for his novels and plays that he is Dangerous Corner known. Priestley was, like John Galsworthy and Somerset Maugham, a novelist only partially committed to his playwriting. Yet he became the dominant literary figure in the London West End during the s, as he attempted to make realistically rendered domestic conversation the vehicle for a mature study of personality and emotion. Philosophical theories about Dangerous Corner, Socialist dogmatism often erupting into sermonsand a taste for dramatic expressionism may be said to Dangerous Corner finally deflected him from his goal. Priestley's experimental bent nevertheless yielded, among his more than 25 plays, a number of striking theatrical situationsthe soliloquies of Ever since Paradise, the Dangerous Corner life in Johnson over Jordanthe replay of an ill-fated conversational turn in Dangerous Corner his most successful play,and the supernatural visitation in An Inspector Calls his acknowledged masterpiece, Dangerous Corner. At their stylish country retreat, Freda and Robert Caplan host a dinner party for their colleagues and friends, all executives at a transatlantic publishing company. Young, beautiful and successful, they have the world at their feet. Then a cigarette box and an ill-considered remark spark off a relentless series of revelations and other, more dangerous secrets are painfully exposed. As the truth spills out about the suicide of Robert's clever, reckless brother, and the group's perfect lives begin to crumble, the cost of professional Dangerous Corner social success becomes frighteningly plain. Dangerous Corner Dangerous Corner. Dangerous Corner Oberon modern plays. Dangerous Corner : J. B. Priestley : Dangerous Corner was the first play by the English writer J. Priestley had recently collaborated with Edward Knoblock on the dramatisation of The Good Companions and now wished "to Dangerous Corner that a man might produce long novels and yet be able to write effectively, using the strictest economy, for the stage. It then ran for six months. Priestley's action was further vindicated by the worldwide success the play was to enjoy, although he soon lowered his estimate of this work and as early as remarked "It is pretty thin stuff when all is said and Dangerous Corner. Robert and Freda Caplan are entertaining guests at their country retreat. A chance remark by one of the guests ignites a series of devastating Dangerous Corner, revealing a hitherto undiscovered tangle of clandestine relationships and dark secrets, the disclosures of which have tragic consequences. The play ends with time slipping back to the beginning of the evening and the chance remark not being made, the secrets remaining hidden and the "dangerous corner" avoided. The play begins in darkness with a muffled gunshot and Dangerous Corner. Lights are turned on to reveal a drawing- room containing four women who have been listening to Dangerous Corner radio play after dinner. Two of them, Freda and Betty, are the wives of directors of a publishing firm. With them are Olwen, a close friend of Freda and Betty, and Maud Mockridge, a novelist whose books are published by the firm. Their chat has turned to the suicide the previous year of Freda's brother-in-law Martin Caplan when they are interrupted Dangerous Corner the entry of the husbands, Dangerous Corner and Gordon, along with Charles, who works at the firm. They discuss whether it's best Dangerous Corner always reveal the complete truth; Robert argues that it is, while Charles believes that doing so Dangerous Corner dangerous. Gordon tries to find some dance music on the radio, but it stops working. Freda offers Olwen a cigarette from a Dangerous Corner box which Olwen recognizes as having belonged to Martin. Freda insists that Olwen couldn't have seen the box before because Martin hadn't had it when last Olwen saw him. Olwen accepts Freda's correction and the matter is about to be dropped, but Robert detects that Olwen, despite her verbal acquiescence, isn't really convinced. He pushes the women to be honest about their disagreement. In examining the question of how Olwen could have previously seen Martin's cigarette box, each woman reveals that she has been keeping secret the fact that she had visited Martin shortly before his death. At this point, with tensions rising, Maud takes her leave, and soon all the guests depart except Olwen. Dangerous Corner revelations lead Robert, Freda and Olwen into a deeper discussion of the circumstances surrounding Martin's death. The group members had assumed that Martin's suicide was an indicator that he had been the thief. But Olwen now Dangerous Corner that on her final visit to Martin, she learned that he hadn't stolen the money and further that he believed the thief to be Robert, having been led to that suspicion by Charles. She hadn't previously mentioned this because she was secretly in love with Robert, which prompts Robert's admission that his and Freda's marriage is unhappy. Robert is shocked both at the accusation that he's the thief and at hearing that Charles had suggested such. Robert snatches the telephone and demands that Gordon and Charles return. Charles admits that Dangerous Corner deliberately led Robert and Martin to suspect one another to cover the fact that he'd taken the money himself. But he insists that he was planning to return it within a week and that it was not the cause of Martin's suicide. As others try to blame him for Martin's death, he remains defiant in his insistence Dangerous Corner Robert should never have begun the process of revealing secrets. Increasingly angry over having been forced into his confession, Charles admits to having had a personal contempt for Martin and suggests that there are still more secrets being kept that are the reason.

    38 The Henry James Review Appeals to Incalculability: Sex, Costume Drama, and The Golden Bowl By Dianne F. Sadoff, Miami University Sex is the last taboo in film. —Catherine Breillat Today’s “meat movie” is tomorrow’s blockbuster. —Carol J. Clover When it was released in May 2001, James Ivory’s film of Henry James’s final masterpiece, The Golden Bowl, received decidedly mixed reviews. Kevin Thomas calls it a “triumph”; Stephen Holden, “handsome, faithful, and intelligent” yet “emotionally distanced.” Given the successful—if not blockbuster—run of 1990s James movies—Jane Campion’s The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Agniezka Holland’s Washington Square (1997), and Iain Softley’s The Wings of the Dove (1997)—the reviewers, as well as the fans, must have anticipated praising The Golden Bowl. Yet the film opened in “selected cities,” as the New York Times movie ads noted; after New York and Los Angeles, it showed in university towns and large urban areas but not “at a theater near you” or at “theaters everywhere.” Never mind, however, for the Merchant Ivory film never intended to be popular with the masses. Seeking a middlebrow audience of upper-middle-class spectators and generally intelligent filmgoers, The Golden Bowl aimed to portray an English cultural heritage attractive to Anglo-bibliophiles. James’s faux British novel, however, is paradoxically peopled with foreigners: American upwardly mobile usurpers, an impoverished Italian prince, and a social-climbing but shabby ex- New York yentl. Yet James’s ironic portrait of this expatriate culture, whose characters seek only to imitate their Brit betters—if not in terms of wealth and luxury, at least in social charm and importance—failed to seem relevant to viewers The Henry James Review 23 (2002): 38–52.

Priestley was born in Bradford, in England’s industrial midlands. He left school at age sixteen to work for a local wool merchant, and in 1914 enlisted in the army. In his subsequent writing, Priestley often drew on his wartime experiences and memories of pre-war England. In 1919, Priestley spent three years at Cambridge, taking honours in English literature, modern history, and political science. As a fiction writer, he became a household name with ‘The Good Companions’ (1929), a comic novel about an itinerant group of music-hall entertainers that sold almost a million copies in hardcover.

    Patrick Deer, New York University British Cinema and Middlebrow Culture in the Interwar Years. by Lawrence Napper. Exeter: Un

    158 THE SPACE BETWEEN “violence” and “trauma” would have benefited from the kind of subheadings offered for “war.” The lack of index entries on “militarism,” “militarization,” and the “military industrial complex” reveals a need for greater clarity about the political economy of twentieth-century warfare, despite the editors’ and contributors’ references to the massive—and continuing—shadow cast by modern war economies on literature and culture. The omission of an index entry for “Anti-americanism” may also be revealing of Rawlinson and Pi- ette’s ambivalence towards the exact place of the US and its war machine in their transatlantic study. Given the sheer richness of the range of critics and theorists cited in the footnotes to the volume, the Companion would have benefited from their inclusion in the index, which tends to be tilted towards primary texts. This could, of course, be rectified in an expanded online index, had the editors world enough and time. Overall this is a superb and invaluable resource, which will repay repeated reading and consultation. ---Patrick Deer, New York University British Cinema and Middlebrow Culture in the Interwar Years. By Lawrence Napper. Exeter: University of Exeter Press, 2009. 250 pp. $85.00 cloth. As snapshots of Britain’s twentieth-century cultural history go, the image of the interwar petit-bourgeois commuter trundling home on the “tube” to the new suburbs on London’s periphery, nose in a Penguin paperback, conjures little that is malevolent or threatening. For the intelligentsia of the period, however, both the cultural tastes and modes of living of those in the ”middle” represented a minatory development: this was the wasteland of modernity manifest.

The Shaw Festival’s mandate also includes: • Uncovered Gems – digging up undiscovered theatrical treasures, or plays which were considered major works when they were written but which have since been unjustly neglected • American Classics – we continue to celebrate the best of American theatre • Musicals – rarely-performed musical treats from the period of our mandate are re- discovered and returned to the stage WHAT MAKES • Canadian Work – to allow us to hear and promote our own stories, our own points SHAW SPECIAL of view about the mandate period. MEET THE COMPANY — OUR ENSEMBLE • Our Actors: All Shaw performers contribute to the sense of ensemble, much like the players in an orchestra. Often, smaller parts are played by actors who are leading performers in their own right, but in our “orchestra,” they support the central action helping to create a density of experiences that are both subtle and informative. • Our Designers: Every production that graces the Shaw Festival stages is built “from scratch,” from an original design.
