Henrik Ibsen, with the exception of Shakespeare, is the most frequently produced playwright in the world. He is also universally known as "The Father of Modern Drama" and "The Father of Realistic Drama." For over a century and a half, Ibsen's plays have been renowned for displaying a fierce revolt by the individual against an oppressive middle-class society. Specifically, A Doll's House has been a trailblazer for women's liberation and feminist causes around the world. Portrait of Henrik Ibsen. Photograph by Gustav Borgen . Ibsen Timeline 1828 Born in Skien, a small town in Norway. 1843 At 15 he moves to another small town, Grimstad, and works as an apprentice in a pharmacy. 1851 He moves to Bergen and takes on the position of Artistic Director and Dramatist at the Bergen Theatre.

  • ROSALIND-The-Facts-T
    THE PLAY “AS YOU LIKE IT” THE WOMAN ROSALIND THE FACTS WRITTEN: The year of 1599 was an especially busy year for Williams Shakespeare who wrote four plays for the Globe stage – “Much Ado About Nothing”, “Henry V”, “Julius Caesar” and “As You Like It”. PUBLISHED: The play was first published in the famous First Folio of 1923 AGE: The Bard was 35 years old when he wrote the play. (Born 1564-Died 1616) CHRONO: “As You Like It” holds the 21st position in the canon of 39 plays immediately after “Julius Caesar” and before “Hamlet” in 1601 GENRE: The play is most often joined with “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” and “The Comedy of Errors” to comprise the trio of “Early Comedies”. SOURCE: Shakespeare’s principal source was a prose pastoral romance, “Rosalynd”, published in 1590 by the English poet Thomas Lodge and “improved upon beyond measure” (Bloom); the two key characters of Touchstone and Jaques were Shakespeare’s memorable creations. TIMELINE: The action of the play covers a brief number of weeks allowing for the “to-ing & fro-ing” of getting from the Palace to the Forest. FIRST PERFORMANCE: The play’s first performance is uncertain although a performance at Wilton House – an English country house outside of London and the seat of the Earl of Pembroke – has been suggested as a possibility. The play’s popularity must surely have found its place in frequent Globe seasons but no records seem to attest to that fact. Page 2 “PASTORALS”: “There is a unique bucolic bliss that is conventional in pastorals, for it is common for people trapped in the hurly-burly of the crowded haunts of men to imagine wrongly that there is some delight in a simple life that existed in the ‘good old days’.

  • Talking out of Tune
    Talking Out of Tune Remembering British Theatre 1944-56 Kate Lucy Harris Ph.D. School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics University of Sheffield December 2008 1 Summary of Thesis This thesis explores how British Theatre represented and reacted to cultural and social changes between 1944 and 1956. It is closely linked to the oral history strand of the AHRC University of Sheffield British Library Theatre Archive Project <http://www.bl.ukltheatrearchive>. The five chapters focus on distinct subject areas in order to explore the vibrant diversity of the period. However, they are united by an overarching narrative which seeks to consider the relationship between memory and history. The first chapter is based on the oral history strand. It explores the different ways in which the Project's methodology has shaped both the interviewee testimony and my own research. Chapter 2 focuses on the changing historical perceptions of the popular West End plays of the day. Case studies of plays are used to compare the responses of audiences and critics in the 1940s and 50s, with the critical commentaries that surround the plays and playwrights today. The third chapter explores the relationship between BBC television drama and theatre. It assesses the impact that cross fertilisation had on both media by examining plays, productions and policies. Chapters 4 and 5 focus on two of the theatre companies of the period - Theatre Workshop and the Old Vic Theatre Company. Chapter 4 explores the impact that Theatre Workshop's early years as a touring group had on the development of the company. It draws on new oral history testimonies from former company members who joined the group in the 1940s and early 50s.
