  • Sherman, Martin (B
    Sherman, Martin (b. 1938) by Bud Coleman Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Activist and fellow playwright Larry Kramer paid tribute to Martin Sherman by noting that he "has consistently written about his sexuality and has managed to make a living out of it." This is no small feat for an artist whose peers have more often than not created their art from inside the closet. Best known for his groundbreaking play Bent (1978), this iconoclastic playwright and screenwriter has created an impressive body of work. The only child of Russian-Jewish parents, Sherman was born in Philadelphia on December 22, 1938, but grew up in Camden, New Jersey. His father was an attorney. Yiddish was spoken at home; and as his grandparents were observant, they kept a Kosher home. Frequent theater trips to Philadelphia and New York City helped Sherman get through adolescence. Sherman was educated at Boston University, where he received a B.A. and an M.F.A. in theater. Although trained as an actor, he was early drawn to writing plays. He describes his early efforts as "terrible," though some were given Off-Off-Broadway productions by the Herbert Berghof Playwrights Foundation, including the one-act play Next Year in Jerusalem (1968). In Sherman's own account, a 1975 production of his play Passing By by London's Gay Sweatshop "was the first good production I'd ever had of anything." The story of the relationship between two men--a painter and a diver--in New York, whose bond is tested by illness and by their focus on career goals, Passing By and another early gay-themed play, Cracks (1975), set in the Los Angeles home of a recently murdered rock star, anticipate his breakthrough achievement in Bent but fail to rise to the latter's moral seriousness.

    Matthew Brannon matthew brannon As the literary form of the new bourgeoisie, the biography is a sign of escape, or, to be more precise, of evasion. In order not to expose themselves through insights that question the very existence of the bourgeoisie, writers of biographies remain, as if up against a wall, at the threshold to which they have been pushed by world events. - SIGFRIED KRACAUER, The Biography as an Art Form of the New Bourgeoisie, 1930 in The Mass Ornament: Weimar Essays, Oxford University Press, 2002 Call yourself an actor? You’re not even a bad actor. You can’t act at all, you fucking stupid hopeless sniveling little cunt-faced cunty fucking shit-faced arse-hole… - LAURENCE OLIVIER to Laurence Havery from Robert Stephen’s Knight Errant: Memoirs of a Vagabond Actor, Hodder and Stoughton, 1995 In show business, it’s folly to talk about what the future holds. Things change so fast. Today’s project so easily becomes tomorrow’s disappointment… The world of the film star is an obstacle race against time. The pitfalls and wrong turnings you can make are devastating. Often I fear for the sanity of some of my friends… The dice are loaded against you. There’s so much bitchery around, you really have to fight hard to survive. Everybody is against you… you have to fight for… success, sell your soul for it even. And when one finally achieved success, it was resented. Not by the great stars like Frank Sinatra, but by the little, frustrated people. They’re the ones to look out for, because brother, they’re gunning for you.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

Bantam, ISBN 553103148 The summer of 1863 was a cruel season for the 4,500 starving, beleaguered citizens of Vicksburg, Mississippi. For the Confederacy, the town was the most strategic spot in the West. The fate of Vicksburg -- now surrounded by the 77,000 men commanded by Union general Ulysses S. Grant -- might just determine the fate of the Confederacy. If the South lost the Mississippi River, it would forfeit the 150-mile-wide corridor south of Vicksburg to Louisiana's Port Hudson through which supplies and men poured east from western Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas and sustained the Confederate armies. "We may take all the northern ports of the Confederacy and they can still defy us from Vicksburg," Abraham Lincoln observed in early 1862. "It means hog and hominy without limit, fresh troops from all the states of the far South, and a cotton country where they can raise the staple without interference.
