This Sunday morning, Sept. 28th, Bea is due to appear on Eddie Mair's program, "Broadcasting House" (BBC - Radio 4). It looks like those of us living outside the U.K. will be able to listen online. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/bh/ Reply | Messages in this Topic (3) movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/andthentheresbea/messages/2007?l=1 1/11 3/25/13 andthentheresbea : Messages : 2007-2037 of 3145 #2009 From: ironicwit ironicwit Date: Fri Sep 26, 2003 2:25 pm Subject: At Last ­­ Lucy & Bea on CD The soundtrack of the movie version of "Mame" is now available on CD. http://www.rhinohandmade.com/browse/ProductLink.lasso?Number=7843 Reply | Messages in this Topic (1) #2010 From: ironicwit ironicwit Date: Fri Sep 26, 2003 5:09 pm Subject: Re: Bea on 2 More BBC Radio Shows Thank you, BBC. I listened to Sheridan Morley interview Bea on his Friday-night radio show and enjoyed it very much. Even though I've read innumerable interviews (and heard a few more) that Bea has done to publicize her one-woman show, I'm always willing to sit through yet another. You never know when you might learn something new. This time, I tried scribbling a few notes to share with y'all. Here they are in all their crudeness... When Sheridan Morley asked why she waited till now to make her West End debut, she replied that she'd never been offered anything she felt was important enough to do there. She went on to comment that she'd been offered things that had already been done before. Mr. Morley asked her whether it was "daunting" to perform in a show without plot or other actors. Bea said something to the effect that she wasn't afraid of being hit by anything. She called the show "a delicious, wonderful experience" and went on to say, "I'm very proud of the work." When asked whether her family had been a theatre family, she said that it hadn't been. However, she acknowledged that her parents had always seen that she had singing lessons and dancing lessons. What got her started on her career? It had to do with "boredom with this terrible (little?) town [in Maryland] that I lived in." Not surprisingly, the subject got around to her famous classmates at the New School. Bea said that she didn't know Marlon Brando at the time because he was actually a couple of years ahead of her there, but they were both members of the Actors Studio. Once, Brando had told her that he liked the way she looked and asked if she were Spanish. When she said she wasn't, "that did away with anything sexual." Mr. Morley asked her if she's a Broadway lady or a TV lady. She replied that both "Maude" and "The Golden Girls" were like doing a new one-act play every week. Both shows were taped (rather than filmed). "I don't know that I could have worked without [an audience]." At the conclusion of the interview, which lasted about seven minutes, Mr. Morley played the song "Who Cares" from Bea's CD.

  • Noël Coward on TV: Tears in Champagne
    Noël Coward on TV: Tears in Champagne With onstage appearances from Dame Penelope Keith, Alistair McGowan, Barry Day, Keith Barron, Maria Aitken, John Gorrie and Kit Hesketh-Harvey Monday 30 March 2015, London. Throughout May 2015 BFI Southbank will celebrate the television work of the ground-breaking playwright, musician and cabaret performer Noël Coward. Coward was a playwright way ahead of his time. Hiding behind glamour and sophistication, his plays were radical and often morally ambiguous, from the shocking representation of drug addiction in The Vortex (Granada TV, 1964) to the hedonistic ménage-a-trois in Design for Living (BBC, 1979). Highlights of the season will include a illustrated talk from Coward expert Barry Day, a panel discussion featuring Dame Penelope Keith and Alistair McGowan, and very rare screenings of Jazz Age: Post Mortem (BBC, 1968), unseen since 1968, and a US production of Blithe Spirit (CBS, 1956) starring Coward himself opposite Lauren Bacall and Claudette Colbert. It has been said that Noël Coward fell out of fashion with the arrival of the new breed of ‘angry’ radical playwrights that emerged in the late 50s. While these new plays came to dominate theatre, TV broadcasters continued to see the value in Coward’s work, resulting in a string of fine TV productions which will screen in the season, including Private Lives (BBC, 1976), Fallen Angels (Anglia TV, 1974) and The Kindness of Mrs Radcliffe (BBC, 1981). Coward’s unique blend of high- octane wit and sophistication translated easily to the small screen, and provided glamorous roles for big-name TV stars including Penelope Keith, Susannah York and Joan Collins.

Full of wit and razor sharp dialogue, Private Lives remains one of the most successful and popular comedies ever written. Written in 1929, Private Lives was brilliantly revived at Hampstead in 1962, bringing about a ‘renaissance’ in Coward’s career and establishing Hampstead as a prominent new theatre for London. Private Lives was a runaway hit when it debuted in 1930, and the play has remained popular in revivals ever since.

  • From Pleasure to Menace: Noel Coward, Harold Pinter, and Critical Narratives
    Fall 2009 41 From Pleasure to Menace: Noel Coward, Harold Pinter, and Critical Narratives Jackson F. Ayres For many, if not most, scholars of twentieth century British drama, the playwrights Noel Coward and Harold Pinter belong in entirely separate categories: Coward, a traditional, “drawing room dramatist,” and Pinter, an angry revolutionary redefining British theatre. In short, Coward is often used to describe what Pinter is not. Yet, this strict differentiation is curious when one considers how the two playwrights viewed each other’s work. Coward frequently praised Pinter, going so far as to christen him as his successor in the use of language on the British stage. Likewise, Pinter has publicly stated his admiration of Coward, even directing a 1976 production of Coward’s Blithe Spirit (1941). Still, regardless of their mutual respect, the placement of Coward and Pinter within a shared theatrical lineage is, at the very least, uncommon in the current critical status quo. Resistance may reside in their lack of overt similarities, but likely also in the seemingly impenetrable dividing line created by the premiere of John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger on May 8, 1956. In his book, 1956 and All That (1999), Dan Rebellato convincingly argues that Osborne’s play created such a critical sensation that eventually “1956 becomes year zero, and time seems to flow both forward and backward from it,” giving the impression that “modern British theatre divides into two eras.”1 Coward contributed to this partially generational divide by frequently railing against so-called New Movement authors, particularly Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco, for being self-important and tedious.
