Preferred Citation [Identification of item] THE PLAYSCRIPTS COLLECTION, P-200, Department of Special Collections, General Library, University of California, Davis. Scope and Content INVENTORY OF THE PLAYSCRIPTS P-200 2 COLLECTION The Scripts Collection of the Department of Special Collections consists primarily of 19th and early 20th century American and British acting editions. Various genres are included-comedies, Ethiopian sketches, farces, melodramas, musical comedies, pantomimes, and tragedies, among others. The bulk of these items are in their original wrappers representing editions of many publishers including Baker, DeWitt, Dicks, French, Lacy, Lea, Penn, and Spencer. In addition, there are some 20th century anthologies and unpublished manuscripts. Although the vast majority of the scripts are clean copies, there are a few prompt copies and others that are inscribed with signatures, cast members' names, dates, and textual markings. These scripts are acquired to preserve an historical record, to provide samples of theatrical fare representative of the time and period covered, and to offer unique items which may be considered primary source material. The Scripts Collection is an "open" collection with additions sought from donors and sellers alike. The collection contains in excess of 1600 titles representing approximtely 850 authors. Authorities used for authors' names are: English Drama of the Nineteenth Century: An Index and Finding Guide , compiled and edited by James Ellis; Nineteenth-Century American Drama, by Donald L. Hixon and Don A. Hennessee; and English Drama 1900-1930, by Allardyce Nicoll.

Conséquence de cet événement, une partie de la troupe partie pour la première fois en tournée en Amérique du Sud, depuis le 20 juin, se trouve bloquée en vue du port de Marseille. Elle rallie Paris le 9 au lieu du 4, consignée à bord du Campana ! 1939 sera la dernière année de l’Administration Bourdet. Les succès se poursuivent sur la lancée des deux années précédentes. Cyrano de Bergerac est joué à 90 reprises. Désormais, André Brunot alterne avec Denis d’Inès dans le rôle-titre et Marie Bell avec Lise Delamare dans le personnage de Roxane 1. Asmodée de François Mauriac connaît toujours le succès (26 représentations, soit un total de 127) de même que Madame Sans-Gêne (22 représentations pour un total de 164). 1939 est bien sûr dominé par le début de la guerre mais c’est aussi le 150° anniversaire de la Révolution française de 1789. Une matinée poétique est consacrée le 17 juin à cet événement. Romain Rolland entre au répertoire à cette occasion avec le Jeu de l’Amour et de la Mort. 2 L’Ile des Esclaves de Marivaux, une œuvre qui préfigure l’esprit de 1789, accompagne la pièce de Romain Rolland. C’est la dix-huitième pièce de Marivaux à entrer au répertoire, un auteur que le XVIII° siècle comprit mal mais à qui le XX° siècle rend enfin justice 3.

  • 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.

Jortner, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 This dissertation, prepared towards the completion of a Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, examines “Yankee Theatre” in America and London through a post-colonial lens from 1787 to 1855. Actors under consideration include: Charles Mathews, James Hackett, George Hill, Danforth Marble and Joshua Silsbee. These actors were selected due to their status as iconic performers in “Yankee Theatre.” The Post-Revolutionary period in America was filled with questions of national identity. Much of American culture came directly from England. American citizens read English books, studied English texts in school, and watched English theatre. They were inundated with English culture and unsure of what their own civilization might look like.

H L Mencken Baltimore Evening Sun, 30 May 1911 If you want to understand Victorian culture and society, then the Gilbert and Sullivan operas are an obvious starting point. They simultaneously epitomised and lampooned the spirit of the age. Their productions were massively successful in their own day, filling theatres all over Britain. They were also a major Victorian cultural export. A new show in New York raised a frenzy at the box office and Harper's New Monthly Magazine (Feb 1886) stated that the "two men have the power of attracting thousands and thousands of people daily for months to be entertained”. H L Mencken's comments of 1911 have proved true. Gilbert & Sullivan societies thrive all over the world and new productions continue to spring up in the West End and on Broadway, in Buxton and Harrogate, in Cape Town and Sydney, in Tokyo and Hong Kong, in Ottawa and Philadelphia.
