The Reluctant Resurrection of Sherlock Holmes CANADA’S OLDEST CONTINUALLY OPERATING COMMUNITY THEATRE - WWW.TAGTHEATRE.COM THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE THEATRE ARTS GUILD THE POND PLAYHOUSE 6 PARKHILL RD. HALIFAX NS [email protected] The Reluctant Resurrection of Sherlock Holmes The Reluctant Resurrection of Sherlock Holmes is a quirky mystery-comedy set in 1896 with amusing and unexpected twists that keep audiences guessing and laughing . World-famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is summoned to a remote English manor to solve an inexplicable death. Much to Doyle’s chagrin, the ghost of Sherlock Holmes suddenly appears to assist his creator in solving the crime. Using Victorian detective methods and his superb powers of observation and deduction, Sherlock’s ghost goads his creator to rely less on emotions and more on logic to catch the culprit. Canadian playwright David Belke, has crafted a clever who-done-it with an intriguing cast of characters, two love triangles and a wonderful séance. The playful dialogue, expansive characters and intricate situations have been entertaining audiences across Canada and the United States since its premiere in 1992 at the Edmonton Fringe.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • A Short History Of
    Formerly the Actors’ Orphanage Fund & the Actors’ Charitable Trust, TACT. A sketch of ACT’s history th to mark our 125 birthday by Robert Ashby, executive director Mrs Kittie Carson, wife of the editor of the Stage newspaper, became increasingly concerned about the welfare of actors and others connected with the theatre, particularly women and children. She felt that provision by other charities and friendly societies was inadequate; she disliked the requirement of several for one to be a member in order to benefit, that many had age restrictions, and that all were run by men. Mrs Carson’s first move in November 1891 was to found the Theatrical Ladies’ Guild (today The Theatrical Guild). Its purpose was quite simply to provide clothing, whether committee members’ cast-offs, donations from supporters, or items sewn and tailored by the Guild’s members themselves. Mrs Carson’s reasoning was that actresses who constantly travelled and who struggled to make ends meet, had no time to sew, and unemployed actresses certainly could not afford new clothes. Her new charity became closely linked with the Ladies’ Needlework Guild, and committee meetings seemed intertwined with ‘sewing bees’. Mrs Carson’s husband, Charles, alerted readers of the Stage to the need for help. The response from readers reinforced Mrs Carson’s sense of urgency in helping the profession’s children. Care of the young “would add solidity and prestige to the drama and its exponents”. Although the Actors’ Benevolent Fund had been asked repeatedly to take on responsibility for the children since 1888, it had been unwilling, already having so many incapacitated adult actors to support.

  • 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.
