Priestley was born in Bradford, in England’s industrial midlands. He left school at age sixteen to work for a local wool merchant, and in 1914 enlisted in the army. In his subsequent writing, Priestley often drew on his wartime experiences and memories of pre-war England. In 1919, Priestley spent three years at Cambridge, taking honours in English literature, modern history, and political science. As a fiction writer, he became a household name with ‘The Good Companions’ (1929), a comic novel about an itinerant group of music-hall entertainers that sold almost a million copies in hardcover.

The Shaw Festival’s mandate also includes: • Uncovered Gems – digging up undiscovered theatrical treasures, or plays which were considered major works when they were written but which have since been unjustly neglected • American Classics – we continue to celebrate the best of American theatre • Musicals – rarely-performed musical treats from the period of our mandate are re- discovered and returned to the stage WHAT MAKES • Canadian Work – to allow us to hear and promote our own stories, our own points SHAW SPECIAL of view about the mandate period. MEET THE COMPANY — OUR ENSEMBLE • Our Actors: All Shaw performers contribute to the sense of ensemble, much like the players in an orchestra. Often, smaller parts are played by actors who are leading performers in their own right, but in our “orchestra,” they support the central action helping to create a density of experiences that are both subtle and informative. • Our Designers: Every production that graces the Shaw Festival stages is built “from scratch,” from an original design.

  • 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.

  • The Golden Bough by Sir James George Frazer 1922
    THE GOLDEN BOUGH BY SIR JAMES GEORGE FRAZER 1922 PREFACE THE primary aim of this book is to explain the remarkable rule which regulated the succes- sion to the priesthood of Diana at Aricia. When. I first set myself to solve the problem more hthan thirty years ago, I thought that the solution could be propounded very briefly, but I soon found that to render it probable or even intelligible it was necessary to discuss certain more general questions, some of which had hardly been broached before. In successive editions the discussion of these and kindred topics has occupied more and more space, the enquiry has branched out in more and more directions, until the two volumes of the original work have expanded into twelve. Meantime a wish has often been expressed that the book should be issued in a more compendious form. This abridgment is an attempt to meet the wish and thereby to bring the work within the range of a wider circle of readers. While the bulk of the book has been greatly reduced, I have endeavoured to retain its leading principles, together with an amount of evidence sufficient to illustrate them clearly. The language of the original has also for the most part been preserved, though here and there the exposition has been somewhat condesed. In order to keep as much of the text as possible I have sacrificed all the notes, and with them all exact reference to my authorities. Readers who desire to ascertain the source of any particular statement must therefore consult the larger work, which is fully documented and provided with a complete bibliography.

  • The Casualty Estimate for World War I, Both Military and Civilian, Was Over 40 Million – 20 Million Deaths and 21 Million Wounded
    The casualty estimate for World War I, both military and civilian, was over 40 million – 20 million deaths and 21 million wounded. This includes 9.7 million military deaths and about 10 million civilian deaths. The Entente Powers lost more than 5 million soldiers and the Central Powers about 4 million. Then just a few short years later, World War II began, and racked up an even more impressive list; roughly 72 million. The civilian toll was around 47 million, including 20 million deaths due to war-related famine and disease. So it was a stunned and exhausted world that received John Boynton Priestley’s newest play, AN INSPECTOR CALLS. BY NEIL MUNRO Priestley by the end of the war was already a figure of some renown. His novel The Good Companions had become world famous, and his voice had become second in popularity to none other than Winston Churchill. Priestley wrote and delivered a personal view of the war for BBC Radio, chronicling the trials and tribulations of the ordinary working man and woman. The carnage, the courage, not to mention the optimism of the English people, seemed to need the popularity of an ordinary voice (rather than that of a professional politician) to soothe the daily wounds inflicted by Hitler’s buzz bombs and the massive battles being fought overseas. 10 Shaw Magazine / Spring 2008 Benedict Campbell, who will play Inspector Goole in the 2008 production of AN INSPECTOR CALLS (Photo by Shin Sugino). 11 This kind of destruction on such a grand scale Priestley wanted to write a play that focused on the profoundly affected Priestley’s views of both socialism terrible problems that could develop between people and and capitalism.
