    Kindle Edition, 2015 © The New Yorker COMMENT SEARCH AND RESCUE BY PHILIP GOUREVITCH On the evening of May 22, 1988, a hundred and ten Vietnamese men, women, and children huddled aboard a leaky forty-five-foot junk bound for Malaysia. For the price of an ounce of gold each—the traffickers’ fee for orchestrating the escape—they became boat people, joining the million or so others who had taken their chances on the South China Sea to flee Vietnam after the Communist takeover. No one knows how many of them died, but estimates rose as high as one in three. The group on the junk were told that their voyage would take four or five days, but on the third day the engine quit working. For the next two weeks, they drifted, while dozens of ships passed them by. They ran out of food and potable water, and some of them died. Then an American warship appeared, the U.S.S. Dubuque, under the command of Captain Alexander Balian, who stopped to inspect the boat and to give its occupants tinned meat, water, and a map. The rations didn’t last long. The nearest land was the Philippines, more than two hundred miles away, and it took eighteen days to get there. By then, only fifty-two of the boat people were left alive to tell how they had made it—by eating their dead shipmates. It was an extraordinary story, and it had an extraordinary consequence: Captain Balian, a much decorated Vietnam War veteran, was relieved of his command and court- martialled, for failing to offer adequate assistance to the passengers.

    VEDA’S JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (JOELL) Vol.3 Issue 4 An International Peer Reviewed Journal 2016 http://www.joell.in RESEARCH ARTICLE CULTURAL ASPECTS IN SHAKESPEARE’S MERCHANT OF VENICE Najma Begum (Lecturer in English, SRR & CVR Govt. Degree College, Vijayawada.) [email protected] ABSTRACT It is desirable to know the cultural context of any given text to understand it better. It is more so when the text is distanced in terms of space and time. Likewise to understand the famous Shakespearean comedy, Merchant of Venice, we need to understand the cultural background of society in which the play was created. So the present paper takes it as a task to explain the cultural aspects in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice Keywords: Culture, Society, Jews, Elizabethan times. Citation: APA Begum,N.

Similarly, Antonoio clearly loves Bassanio( Love is the key theme in the book.

Love is woman, or vice-versa. Bassanio and Portia, Jessica regulated, sacrificed, betrayed, and generally built on and Lorenzo and Gratiano and Nerissa are all types of rocky foundations in the play.

  • Sony Centre for the Performing Arts
    SONY CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS Executive Summary to Staff Reports Outlining Strategic Plan & Budget for 2014-15 BACKGROUND: At its meeting of September 26, 2011, City Council considered the Core Service Review completed by KPMG and authorized the City Manager to issue a Request for Expression of Interest (“REOI”) to determine the options for sale, lease, operation or other arrangement in respect of the three major civic theatres, including the Sony Centre. (http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2011.EX10.1.) The report can be found on pages 101-108: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2011/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-39626.pdf On September 29, 2011, the Mayor established a Task Force – Arts & Theatres. The Task Force examined the role that the civic theatres play in the city’s culture, economy and community. The Task Force recommended essential criteria for each of the three theatres for the REOI, along with other recommendations for consideration. An REOI was issued by the City in May 2012 to consider options for the future of the civic theatres, including the Sony Centre. The options were to include the sale, lease, operations or any other arrangements for any or all of the three theatres to meet the City’s cultural, social and economic goals. At its meeting held on November 27, 28 and 29, 2012 City Council adopted Item EX25.5 concerning the results of the REOI. At that time, City Council recognized the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts and the Toronto Centre for the Arts as community cultural assets and directed the Boards of these two theatres, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, to develop long term strategic and five- year business plans that ensure creative, cost effective and sustainable operations, minimize the City's tax funding, include performance measures for its service to the community, and provide for operating and capital reserves.

  • A Lively Theatre There's a Revolution Afoot in Theatre Design, Believes
    A LIVELY THEatRE There’s a revolution afoot in theatre design, believes architectural consultant RICHARD PILBROW, that takes its cue from the three-dimensional spaces of centuries past The 20th century has not been a good time for theatre architecture. In the years from the 1920s to the 1970s, the world became littered with overlarge, often fan-shaped auditoriums that are barren in feeling and lacking in intimacy--places that are seldom conducive to that interplay between actor and audience that lies at the heart of the theatre experience. Why do theatres of the 19th century feel so much more “theatrical”? And why do so many actors and audiences prefer the old to the new? More generally, does theatre architecture really matter? There are some that believe that as soon as the house lights dim, the audience only needs to see and hear what happens on the stage. Perhaps audiences don’t hiss, boo and shout during a performance any more, but most actors and directors know that an audience’s reaction critically affects the performance. The nature of the theatre space, the configuration of the audience and the intimacy engendered by the form of the auditorium can powerfully assist in the formation of that reaction. A theatre auditorium may be a dead space or a lively one. Theatres designed like cinemas or lecture halls can lay a dead hand on the theatre experience. Happily, the past 20 years have seen a revolution in attitude to theatre design. No longer is a theatre only a place for listening or viewing.

  • Understanding the Gender Complexities of Shakespeare Dr Peter D Matthews
    Understanding the Gender Complexities of Shakespeare Dr Peter D Matthews Introduction The dramatists of Shakespeare are often characterized as being feminists because of the frankness of Cordelia in King Lear, the shrewdness or Portia in The Merchant of Venice, and the psychological manipulation of Volumnia in Coriolanus. For over four hundred years we have performed the incredible representations of men and women and their various roles and responsibilities in society during the latter Renaissance period, where male actors would have pretended to be the character of Viola in Twelfth Night, while pretending to be her brother Sebastian, as a male character. This seems to be quite a complex idea in the latter sixteenth century. Some scholars have suggested that feminism did not exist during this era. I will prove in this paper that these assertions are fatally flawed – feminism was alive and well during that era. However, the dramatists of Shakespeare were not feminists, per say, they were in fact Master Kabbalists teaching the gender complexities of the ancient Zohar and the Tree of Life, where one can allow ego to ruin one’s life, or shut down our reactive system and be transformed to the supernal (heavenly) realm of perfection beyond human perception and repair the world. Historical Background With the humanist movements in Europe, particularly Italy, during the 15th and 16th centuries many women rose to study philosophy of women and positions of power. One such document was the ‘Querelle des Femmes’ (The Woman Question) that began a movement circa 1500, followed by a lectured on the ‘Virtues of the Female Sex’ by the learned philosopher Heinrich Agrippa of Nettesheim in 1509.

    MARCH 2012 Welcome to This World Premiere production of Marc Acito and Jeffrey Stock’s enchanting A Room with a View marks the culmination of more than a year of development, workshops and rehearsals. It also represents The Old Globe’s ongoing commitment to launching new musicals and to making San Diego an artistic home for the best and brightest creative talent in theatre. A Room with HENRY DIROCCO HENRY a View follows a sheltered young English girl, Lucy Honeychurch, on her travels to Italy, where she learns about not only the world but also herself. We hope it will transport you to another time and place, sweeping you along on Lucy’s journey of discovery and romance. We are also pleased to welcome director Scott Schwartz back to The Old Globe. Scott directed the Globe’s immensely successful productions of Golda’s Balcony, Broadway Bound, Brighton Beach Memoirs and Lost in Yonkers. Scott has been both a vital part of the development of A Room with a View and an ideal director for its World Premiere production. As you may know, The Old Globe has embarked upon a nationwide search for new artistic leadership, assisted by the search firm AlbertHall&Associates. The firm was co-founded by former Globe Managing Director Tom Hall, whose knowledge of and commitment to The Old Globe will be a great asset to this process. We look forward to an exciting new chapter in the artistic life of The Old Globe as we continue to pursue our mission, serve our San Diego community and create some of the best theatre in the country.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
