I can’t promise these next 10 dates for your diary will give you the answer to that question, but hey sometimes it’s simply best not to know. I remember my first experience of literature readings sitting somewhere at the back of the audience so I could make a quick exit if required. But most of these writers held me. I was transfixed by the way words were welding together so seamlessly. Some like every day speech, making me wish I’d written that, but some poems like spider’s threads weaving round the room and attaching themselves to me. I took these home and it made me want to try harder. So, swerving east from rich industrial shadows, this year we have writers from Brazil, USA, Finland and the UK. I still sit towards the back at readings I attend but I’m in no fear of leaving these 10 days of events early, and I hope to see some of you sitting there wishing you’d written what you’re hearing. So I ask the question again “What’s going on?” Well… in the distance I can hear the Humber Mouth, clearing its throat and if you care to turn these pages... it will tell you what’s going on.

Born into a family described by Lord Burley, Treasurer to Elizabeth I, as of “more that usual preversity” and with an ancestor who was the last person in the UK to be hung drawn and quartered for sedition, Katherine is more than qualified to spin a tale of social and political intrigue. Set in London 1794 the ferment of Revolution from across the Channel seeps into City coffee houses and Gentlemen’s Clubs. In the shadow of Tyburn gibbet, a dusty pianoforte workshop receives a visitor. A man, representing an unscrupulous band of City speculators, require a pianoforte and a charming teacher to help find titled husbands for all their daughters. It seems an innocent enough plan but these are subversive times and even a piano lesson isn’t exactly what it seems. Fathers and daughters; mothers and daughters; husbands and wives; the pursued and the pursuing. Whether in gilded drawing room or dusty workshops, when a city is infected with sedition, everything is reflected through a distorting prism of jealousy, revenge and sexual devilry. HM8.

  • Black British Theatre: a Transnational Perspective
    Black British Theatre: A Transnational Perspective Volume 1 of 2 Submitted by Michael Christopher Pearce, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama, January 2013. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ........................................................................................ 1 Abstract This thesis examines post-war black British theatre through a transnational lens. It argues that the hitherto prioritization of a national paradigm in discussions of black British theatre is not sufficiently complex to chart the historical processes that have shaped it and the multiple spatial, cultural, and political contexts in which it has been generated. This thesis finds that a transnational optic exposes a network of connections – physical, ideological and psychic – between blacks in Britain and other global black communities which have shaped and transformed the lives of Britain‟s black communities and their cultural production. The thesis is divided into three chapters: the USA (chapter 1), the Caribbean (chapter 2), and Africa (chapter 3). Each chapter represents a specific geo- cultural-political space with which black British theatre has an important relationship. Each chapter follows the same broad structure: the first half of the chapter establishes a particular transnational process and mode of analysis which frames the ensuing historical discussion; the second half is devoted to an analysis of two contemporary black British dramatists.

This shouldn’t have surprised me, after all, it was` a central plank’ of company policy to do so and as their Literary Manager I had set up a number of them and was responsible for inviting other groups to the Cockpit (where Soho was then based). What was surprising was the sudden realisation that apart from those sessions I ran myself, I had little or no idea quite what was taking place in those work- shops.

  • Literary Encounters and the Making of the West Indies
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: OCCASIONS FOR READING: LITERARY ENCOUNTERS AND THE MAKING OF THE WEST INDIES Schuyler K Esprit, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed by: Professor Sangeeta Ray, Department of English ―Occasions for Reading‖ argues for a new methodology of postcolonial reading that traces the origins of Anglophone Caribbean literary history and redirects the routes of West Indian literary production and canon formation. Historically, West Indian writers have sought an ―ideal‖ reader of their work, though the definition and depiction of that ideal reader have varied. Anglophone Caribbean authors‘ own relationships to the act of reading and to the influence of reading on their own and on their characters‘ identity formation also direct or re-direct nation and canon formation. By engaging postcolonial theory, reader-response theory, post-structuralism, and reception studies, the dissertation investigates the production of the reader in and of Caribbean literary texts and of the social spaces in which they circulate. This dissertation situates the act of reading at the core of colonial and postcolonial representations of the Anglophone Caribbean and offers the culture of reception as a mode through which the geography of the West Indies is implicated in connecting West Indian people and identities across the diaspora. Acts and scenes of reading in West Indian novels produce a critique of Imperial knowledge production and illustrate how Caribbean subjects transform the intellectual, psychological or political meanings derived from reading colonial texts into a postcolonial epistemology. Such transformations provoke a range of consequences for these character-readers who must either leave the Caribbean region or continue to stake out their legitimacy and rootedness.

They relied on and interrogated the traditions of theatrical and novelistic storytelling. Authors and auteurs such as Gordon Lea, Lance Sieveking, Tyrone Guthrie, Val Gielgud, Felix Felton, Donald McWhinnie, and William Ash offered little evidence that they fully engaged the theory of Mikhail Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva, Roland Barthes, Vladimir Propp, Gérard Genette, Tzvetan Todorov, Mieke Bal, Claude Bremond, and Franz Karl Stanzel. These auteurs had confident ideas of what would constitute variously described successful sound, microphone, and broadcast and audio plays and dramas. The analysis explores how these authors developed their opinions on techniques and concepts that have given sound drama its unique literary as well as dramatic identity.
