  • Directed by Michael Donald Edwards, OUR BETTERS Opens March 13 at Asolo Rep
    Directed by Michael Donald Edwards, OUR BETTERS Opens March 13 at Asolo Rep "A more devious Downton Abbey." – NowToronto.com (SARASOTA, February 5, 2015) — Before there was Downton Abbey, there was Our Betters, W. Somerset Maugham's fiery romantic dramedy about the invasion of sly social-climbing American heiresses into British society. The fifth play in the third season of Asolo Rep's five-year American Character Project illuminates a sect of wealthy, early 20th-century American women who yearned for the pomp and circumstance – and parties – of the British nobility. Directed by Asolo Rep's producing artistic director Michael Donald Edwards, Our Betters opens Friday, March 13, 2015 at 8pm and runs through Sunday, April 19 at Asolo Rep, with previews Wednesday, March 11 and Thursday, March 12 at 8pm. In early 20th-century England, broke British aristocrats desperately needed money to maintain their ornate estates, and wealthy American women desperately wanted -more- Our Betters Page 2 of 7 the prestige of marrying well. After marrying a baronet, American hardware heiress Lady Pearl Grayston appears to have everything a girl could want – a posh title, a throng of adoring lovers, and the crème de la crème of British society, including a princess and a duchesse, at her beck and call – but she wants more. When Pearl's little sister, Bessie, crosses the pond to join her sister's enviably glamorous life and find a noble husband of her own, she is unprepared for the scandal that is about to erupt behind closed manor doors. “Brimming with dynamic and passionate women of position, prestige and wealth, Our Betters reveals how they prevailed in a society with limited options for women," said Michael Donald Edwards.

The author ventures to suggest to the readers of this play that he makes no pretensions to throw a new light on any of the questions which are discussed in it, nor has he attempted to offer a solution of problems which, judging from the diversity of opinion which they have occasioned, may be regarded as insoluble. He has tried to put into dramatic form some of the thoughts and emotions which have recently agitated many, and for this purpose he has chosen the most ordinary characters in the circle with which, owing to his own circumstances, he is best acquainted.

  • Constant Wife Program:Constant Wife Program
    We l c o m e t o Dear Friends — it’s good to have you here! Old friends are best, wouldn’t you agree? With so much activity in and around our theatres of late, with the red carpet out for the likes of Twyla Tharp, Chita Rivera, and Sandy Duncan, it’s good to know that we continue to be loyal to and support artists whose evolving careers have made such a contribution to our community, and who are largely responsible for the extraordinary level of accomplishment of these past decades. There is a small cavalcade of Associate Artists returning for this next round, and it’s worth noting that among them, with the presence of director Seret Scott, costume designer Lewis Brown, set designer Ralph Funicello, and the great Kandis Chappell of The Constant Wife, we are also delighted to welcome home to the Carter our beloved Jonathan McMurtry whose tenure here on our stages rivals Craig Noel’s for quality, consistency, and sheer endurance. Trying, directed by Rick Seer, could have been written for Jonathan, and that comfortable fit in no way diminishes our awareness of just how fortunate we are to provide a creative home for these men and women whose talents are so interwoven with the pleasure of our playgoing. We don’t forget nor neglect the men and women upon whose backs we’ve made our reputation, any more than we ever wish to overlook your importance to us in the planning and the sustaining of this Theatre. JACK O’BRIEN Artistic Director Last summer The Old Globe celebrated its 70th Anniversary and its rich history as one of the most prominent theatres in North America.

    The Inventory of the Rothschild-Maugham Collection #1619 Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS Biographical Sketch 111. Scope and Content Note V. Series Organization Vll. Series Outline IX. Box List 1 111 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 at the British Embassy in Paris, France to Robert Ormond and Edith Mary Maugham, who had both spent most of their adult lives living in France. Maugham's hardships began early on as he was born with frail health and an understated stature, and without the good looks of his mother. fu January of 1882, Edith Maugham died of Tuberculosis, and from this trauma, Maugham was never to fully recover. Two years later, Maugham's father died of stomach cancer and subsequently, he was sent to the rather alien country of his ancestors to live with his father's clergyman brother, Henry MacDonald Maugham, at the vicarage in Whitstable. A stammer in Maugham's speech soon developed; likely as the result of being forced to speak English rather than the French that he preferred. Life with his uncle and aunt was stable, but lonely, and it was at this age that Maugham's love of reading began to bloom. From May of 1885 to July of 1889, Maugham attended King's School in Canterbury, which was a nightmare he would never quite forget. Deciding to forgo a future with the Church, Maugham escaped to the University of Heidelberg from 1891-92, where he was to discover and embrace Schopenhauer, Ibsen, and his own homosexuality. After a brief stint studying accounting in Kent, Maugham decided to pursue a medical degree at St.

  • A Study of Dramaturgy in the Plays of Somerset Maugham
    AIJRA VOL I ISSUE I www.ijcms2015.co ISSN 2455-5967 A Study of Dramaturgy in the Plays of Somerset Maugham Dr Vishakha Chauhan Dramaturgy, as a term was established as a concept of critical and contextual study of dramatic literature by Mary Luckhurst in Dramaturgy: A Revolution in Theatre. Theorists and practitioners of dramaturgy, however, have long attempted to free the practice from an exclusive concern with the play text, seeking to open dramaturgical perspectives on to works which are not reliant on reference to classical forms, or indeed to text as the principle element. Whilst acknowledging the significance of the literary critical tradition referred to by Luckhurst’s historical account, Turner and Behrndt’s Dramaturgy and Performance incorporates into its overview new forms, processes and questions which, over the course of the twentieth century, have encouraged an emphasis on the live performance and the performance text as opposed to the written play. Expanding the aesthetic parameters of theatre to include works which do not presume the primacy of verbal text, Turner and Behrndt quote Adam Versenyi’s proposition that dramaturgy be defined “ as the architecture of the theatrical event, involved in the confluence of components in a work and how they are constructed to generate meaning for the audience”. Dramaturgy is a process which is considered as ‘ processes of analysis’ which look at the ways in which levels of meaning are orchestrated in performance, that is to say, processes of analysis which are sensitive to how compositional strategies structure and inform spectators’ responses. Dramaturgy as a technical word did not haunt Maugham yet today the strength of Maugham’s ideas are gaining momentum without considering his lack of dramaturgy in some of his dramas.
