  • 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.

  • Natural Pursuits – the Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011
    PRESS RELEASE June 2011 11/49 Natural Pursuits – The Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011 BFI Southbank celebrates the tragi-comic screen dramas of the late Simon Gray. A writer of immense wit and intellectual charm whose razor-sharp dialogue is unsurpassed. The month long season features some of Gray’s most celebrated work including screenings of Unnatural Pursuits (1992), After Pilkington (1987) and They Never Slept (1991) which feature performances by British acting elite including Alan Bates, Edward Fox and Miranda Richardson. Following the screening of They Never Slept, a panel of guests including producer Kenith Trodd, and directors Udayan Prasad and Christopher Morahan will discuss his great contribution to television drama and the theatre illustrated with clips of some of his early and rare television plays to be chaired by Broadcaster Matthew Sweet. After the screening of Butley on Sunday 14 Aug, Lindsay Posner, director of the 40th anniversary revival of the play currently running at the Duchess Theatre will also be welcomed to the BFI stage for a Q&A. Gray wrote prolifically from the mid-60s onwards for both the West End stage (Otherwise Engaged, Quartermaine’s Terms, The Late Middle Classes, Butley) and for television, where such important early successes such as Death of a Teddy Bear, Man in a Sidecar and The Caramel Crisis were carelessly wiped. His most fertile period writing specifically for TV occurred between 1975 and 1993 during a close collaboration with producer Kenith Trodd and four major directors, Michael Lindsay- Hogg, Christopher Morahan, Udayan Prasad and Pat O’Connor.

  • Julia Trevelyan Oman Archive
    GRAND DESIGNS: THE JULIA TREVELYAN OMAN ARCHIVE Text of an illustrated talk given by Theatre Collection Archivist Amanda Goode to the Friends of the Theatre Collection, 14 Feb 2007 - to be used alongside the Grand Designs Powerpoint presentation. My name is Amanda Goode, and I was appointed Project Archivist in the Theatre Collection here at Bristol University Drama Department in April 2005, cataloguing first the Professor Glynne Wickham archive, and later, the Julia Trevelyan Oman archive. My post was funded by two grants from the Bristol University Annual Fund. It is very unusual for them to give consecutive grants to the same department, which shows how highly they regard the work done by the Theatre Collection, and reflects the fact that many of the collections we hold are of national importance - and that certainly includes the collection which I’m talking about today. So – on to the Julia Trevelyan Oman Archive - what does it consist of? Well, nothing less than the entire adult corpus of work of one of the most highly- rated theatre, opera and ballet designers of her day. Julia kept everything from her art college days onwards, and not only kept it, but ordered it properly, and took steps to preserve it – I must stress that it is very rare to have such a complete run of work. Sadly, though, the reason that the archive is here is that Julia died in October 2003. Her husband, Sir Roy Strong, felt that the Theatre Collection was the right place to house it, and we were of course delighted to accept it.

  • Lecture 5 to UNESCO.Pdf (459.39
    Lecture № 5 The theme: ENGLISH AND AMERICAN FAMOUS WRITERS, POETS AND PLAYWRIGHTS Plan: 1. Introduction. 2. The life and creative activity of William Shakespeare. 3. The life and creative activity of Charles John Huffam Dickens. 4. The life and creative activity of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain). 5. The life and creative activity of Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (Theodore Dreiser). 6. The life and creative activity of James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (James Joyce). 7. The life and creative activity of Ernest Miller Hemingway (Ernest Miller Hemingway). 8. Exercises for the consolidation of the lecture. 9. Assessment. 1. Introduction. At the end of the 20 th century new writers, poets and playwright appeared. During the 1970s and early 1980s, such writers as Greene, Lessing and Le Carre continued to produce important novels. Modern writers are creating their works in different genres and various themes. John Fowler combined adventure and mystery in such novels as “The French Lieutenant's Woman” (1969), Margaret Drabble described the complex lives of educated middle-class people in London in “The Garrick Years”(1964), “The Middle Ground”(1980) and other novels. Iris Murdoch's novels are psychological studies of upper middle-class intellectuals. The three leading English poets today are Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin, and Donald Davie. Ted Hughs produced a major work in his cycle of “Crow” poems (1970-1971). Philip Larkin's verse has been published in his collection “High 1 Windows” (1974). Many of Davie's poems were collected in “In the Stopping Train” (1977). Drama is also flourishing in today's English literature.
