I had a story which I thought was quite fun. And I had a situation, originally, that I also I thought was quite fun, about a man whose wife had left him a note and she’s the only one who can read it. That was the germ of it. Then out of that came Tristram and his little speech. I was also explor- ing the running gags, which go all the way through. It was one of the hardest plays ever to write. The flaws came reasonably late. I thought I still needed some- thing visual for this play, something that keeps the au- diences’ eyes open as well as their ears.

  • Plays and Pinot: Bedroom Farce
    Plays and Pinot: Bedroom Farce Synopsis Trevor and Susannah, whose marriage is on the rocks, inflict their miseries on their nearest and dearest: three couples whose own relationships are tenuous at best. Taking place sequentially in the three beleaguered couples’ bedrooms during one endless Saturday night of co-dependence and dysfunction, beds, tempers, and domestic order are ruffled, leading all the players to a hilariously touching epiphany. About the Playwright Alan Ayckbourn, in full Sir Alan Ayckbourn, (born April 12, 1939, London, England), is a successful and prolific British playwright, whose works—mostly farces and comedies—deal with marital and class conflicts and point out the fears and weaknesses of the English lower-middle class. He wrote more than 80 plays and other entertainments, most of which were first staged at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England. At age 15 Ayckbourn acted in school productions of William Shakespeare, and he began his professional acting career with the Stephen Joseph Company in Scarborough. When Ayckbourn wanted better roles to play, Joseph told him to write a part for himself in a play that the company would mount if it had merit. Ayckbourn produced his earliest plays in 1959–61 under the pseudonym Roland Allen. His plays—many of which were performed years before they were published—included Relatively Speaking (1968), Mixed Doubles: An Entertainment on Marriage (1970), How the Other Half Loves (1971), the trilogy The Norman Conquests (1973), Absurd Person Singular (1974), Intimate Exchanges (1985), Mr. A’s Amazing Maze Plays (1989), Body Language (1990), Invisible Friends (1991), Communicating Doors (1995), Comic Potential (1999), The Boy Who Fell into a Book (2000), and the trilogy Damsels in Distress (2002).

  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

    THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD INVITES YOU TO TALK WITH TWO STELLAR ARTISTS PRESENTED AT THE National Arts Club UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF MagRack Video IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE English-Speaking Union MARGOT HARLEY & DAVID SCHRAMM Monday, April 28, at 8:00 p.m. This conversation will celebrate the thirtieth-anniversary season of THE ACTING COMPANY, a troupe that MARGOT HARLEY co-founded with the late JOHN HOUSE- MAN in 1972 as a way to allow the JUILLIARD SCHOOL DRAMA DIVISION’s first graduating class (which included KEVIN KLINE, PATTI LUPONE, and DAVID OGDEN STIERS) to gain professional experience in classical theater. Ms. Harley administered the Juilliard program during its first twelve years. Meanwhile she has produced such hits as Max Blitzstein’s musical The Cradle Will Rock (a celebrated Houseman revival that went from Manhattan to London’s Old Vic), The Curse of an Aching Heart and The Robber Bridegroom (two Broadway shows that starred Faye Dunaway), Ten by Tennes- see (a two-evening retrospective of Williams’ one-act plays, directed by Michael Kahn), and the New York premiere of Eric Overymyer’s On the Verge (directed by Garland Wright). She’ll be joined by DAVID SCHRAMM, another of her first-year Juilliard alumni. Mr. Schramm’s Broadway credits include Bedroom Farce, Goodbye Fidel, Lon- don Assurance, The Misanthrope, The Robber Bridegroom, School for Scandal, Tartuffe Born Again, and The Three Sisters. Best known for his eight seasons as Roy Biggins, the brash and overbearing owner of a commuter airline in the NBC sitcom Wings (1990-97), Mr. Schramm has also starred in Another World, Jake and the Fatman, Wiseguy, The Equalizer, Miami Vice, Spencer for Hire, and- Working Girl (where he played Joe McGill, opposite actress Sandra Bullock), and in such films as A Shock to the System, Big Packages, Johnny Handsome, Let it Ride, and Ragtime.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • South Coast Repertory Is a Professional Resident Theatre Founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson
    IN BRIEF FOUNDING South Coast Repertory is a professional resident theatre founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson. VISION Creating the finest theatre in America. LEADERSHIP SCR is led by Artistic Director David Ivers and Managing Director Paula Tomei. Its 33-member Board of Trustees is made up of community leaders from business, civic and arts backgrounds. In addition, hundreds of volunteers assist the theatre in reaching its goals, and about 2,000 individuals and businesses contribute each year to SCR’s annual and endowment funds. MISSION South Coast Repertory was founded in the belief that theatre is an art form with a unique power to illuminate the human experience. We commit ourselves to exploring urgent human and social issues of our time, and to merging literature, design, and performance in ways that test the bounds of theatre’s artistic possibilities. We undertake to advance the art of theatre in the service of our community, and aim to extend that service through educational, intercultural, and community engagement programs that harmonize with our artistic mission. FACILITY/ The David Emmes/Martin Benson Theatre Center is a three-theatre complex. Prior to the pandemic, there were six SEASON annual productions on the 507-seat Segerstrom Stage, four on the 336-seat Julianne Argyros Stage, with numerous workshops and theatre conservatory performances held in the 94-seat Nicholas Studio. In addition, the three-play family series, “Theatre for Young Audiences,” produced on the Julianne Argyros Stage. The 20-21 season includes two virtual offerings and a new outdoors initiative, OUTSIDE SCR, which will feature two productions in rotating rep at the Mission San Juan Capistrano in July 2021.
