  • Terrible Rage)
    JCDE 2018; 6(1): 15–39 Dan Rebellato* Nation and Negation (Terrible Rage) https://doi.org/10.1515/jcde-2018-0009 Abstract: The aftermath of the Brexit referendum has revealed a deeply divided Britain, with anger on both sides and seemingly little desire to seek compromise or mutual understanding. Remainers denounce Leavers as ignorant bigots. Lea- vers denounce Remainers as metropolitan elitists. Theresa May went even further, characterizing supporters of open borders and free movement as ‘citizens of nowhere’ whose lack of attachment to nation suggests they simply don’t under- stand what citizenship means. Given the UK’s regional correlation between high levels of theatregoing and high support for Remain, this is a challenge for theatre- makers and scholars. One strong feature of contemporary British playwriting is a detachment from place; in numerous recent plays, place is estranged, unspeci- fied, annulled, orphaned, globalized, generalized, combined, relativized and scenographically anonymized. Does this represent an absence of nation? No, because this would be to accept the rigid oppositions of the Leave campaign between nations and open borders, between the local and the global. Instead, there is a restless deconstructive movement within the very identification of nation that moves to transcend it and this is captured and embodied in the heterotopic ambiguities of the spatially specific performance of the placeless play. Keywords: theatre, playwriting, dramaturgy, Brexit, European Union, space, place, nation, state, globalization, heterotopia, David Goodhart, Dani Rodrik, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jeremy Bentham, Michel Foucault, Joanne Tompkins Caryl Churchill can tell the future. Top Girls was a magnificent commentary on the 1980 s, written at the beginning, not the end, of the decade.

They produce sustained experimentation with form, style and subject matter inasserting black experience as universal not marginal. Whilst Daley employs unqualified naturalism in her dramatization of the mundane intimacies that weave lives together, tucker green blitzes the comfort zones of theatrical realism through linguistic free-fall and taboo topics. Theyexemplify women dramatists’ articulations of sensibilities and perspectives as arising from positions within culture and theatre that are distinct from those of their male contemporaries.

Resumo No novo milênio, em que homens brancos ainda dominam o terreno teatral, o teatro de mulheres britânicas negras permanece, na melhor das hipóteses, raro. debbie tucker green e Dona Daley dramatizam distintivamente articulações do experimentalismo não-característico no teatro britânico. Elas produzem experimentações sustentadas em forma, estilo e assunto para exercer a experiência negra como universal, e não marginal. Enquanto Daley emprega um naturalismo não qualificado na sua dramatização das intimidades mundanas que nós vivemos juntos, tucker green ataca as zonas de conforto do realismo teatral através de linguística em queda-livre e tópicos tabus.

His former lover, Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, had collapsed in a Lancaster hotel. She refused medical attention and instead reached out to Turner, who at Grahame’s request took her to his warm if chaotic family home in Liverpool. The pair had met a few years previously, their paths crossing in a Primrose Hill guesthouse in which they were lodging. Turner was an aspiring actor, Grahame a fading star. She had made her name in the Hollywood studio system, often playing the moll, the floozy or as Turner notes in his memoir ‘the tart with the heart,’ appearing in a string of film noirs, including the likes of the sad and hauntingly romantic In a Lonely Place with Humphrey Bogart (shot by her husband at the time, Nicholas Ray) and the Fritz Lang classic The Big Heat opposite Lee Marvin. Gloria shone in the likes of Crossfire, for which she was Oscar nominated, Naked Alibi and Sudden Fear, while her turn in The Bad and The Beautiful scooped her an Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress.
