  • JM Richards, Modernism and the Vernacular in British Architecture
    1 Vulgar Modernism: J.M. Richards, modernism and the vernacular in British Architecture. In 1946 J.M. Richards, editor of The Architectural Review (AR) and self- proclaimed champion of modernism, published a book entitled The Castles on the Ground (Fig. 1). This book, which he had written while working for the Ministry of Information (MoI) in Cairo during the war, was a study of British suburban architecture and contained long, romantic descriptions of the suburban house and garden. Richards described the suburb as a place in which ‘everything is in its place’ and where ‘the abruptness, the barbarities of the world are far away’.1 For this reason The Castles on the Ground is most often remembered as a retreat from pre-war modernism, into nostalgia for mock-Tudor houses and privet hedges.2 Reyner Banham, who worked with Richards at the AR in 1950s, described the book as a ‘blank betrayal of everything that Modern Architecture was supposed to stand for’.3 More recently the book has been rediscovered and reassessed for its contribution to mid-twentieth-century debates about the relationship between modern architects and the British public.4 These reassessments get closer to Richards’ original aim for the book. He was not concerned with the style of suburban architecture for its own sake, but with the question of why the style was so popular and what it meant for the role of modern architects in Britain and their relationship to the ‘man in the street’.5 Richards was intrigued by the ‘universality’ of suburban architectural styles and their ability to span the divisions of generation and social class.

    Regent’s Park Theatre and English National Opera present £4 music by BENJAMIN BRITTEN libretto by MYFANWY PIPER after a story by HENRY JAMES Photo David Jensen Developing new creative partnerships enables us to push the boundaries of our artistic programming. We are excited to be working with Daniel Kramer and his team at English National Opera to present this new production of The Turn of the Screw. Some of our Open Air Theatre audience may be experiencing opera for the first time – and we hope that you will continue that journey of discovery with English National Opera in the future; opera audiences intrigued to see this work here, may in turn discover the unique possibilities of theatre outdoors.

  • Cultural Convergence the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960
    Cultural Convergence The Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960 Edited by Ondřej Pilný · Ruud van den Beuken · Ian R. Walsh Cultural Convergence “This well-organised volume makes a notable contribution to our understanding of Irish theatre studies and Irish modernist studies more broadly. The essays are written by a diverse range of leading scholars who outline the outstanding cultural importance of the Dublin Gate Theatre, both in terms of its national significance and in terms of its function as a hub of international engagement.” —Professor James Moran, University of Nottingham, UK “The consistently outstanding contributions to this illuminating and cohesive collection demonstrate that, for Gate Theatre founders Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir and their collaborators, the limits of the imagination lay well beyond Ireland’s borders. Individually and collectively, the contribu- tors to this volume unravel the intricate connections, both personal and artistic, linking the theatre’s directors, designers, and practitioners to Britain, Europe, and beyond; they examine the development and staging of domestic plays written in either English or Irish; and they trace across national boundaries the complex textual and production history of foreign dramas performed in translation. In addition to examining a broad spectrum of intercultural and transnational influ- ences and perspectives, these frequently groundbreaking essays also reveal the extent to which the early Gate Theatre was a cosmopolitan, progressive, and inclusive space that recognized and valued women’s voices and queer forms of expression.” —Professor José Lanters, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA “Cultural Convergence is a book for which we have been waiting, not just in Irish theatre history, but in Irish cultural studies more widely.

  • Benjamin Britten the Turn of the Screw
    Benjamin Britten I • • The Turn of the Screw Edited by PATRICIA HOWARD Lecturer in Music The Open University The right of the University of Cambridge to print and sell all manner of books of granted by Henry 1711 at 1534. The University has printed and published continuously since 1584. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Cambridge London New York New Rochelle Melbourne Sydney 2 Myfanwy Piper's (The Turn of the Screw': libretto and synopsis PATRICIA HOWARD To transfer to the operatic stage a story so meticulously constructed to manipulate the responses of a reader poses enormous problems. The chief of these is to retain all the ambiguities of the plot so that the opera-goer, as much as the reader, can 'keep both stories in play at once' (see above, p. 21). Not to attempt this, to settle for either of the simple interpretations of the story, would have been an act of vandalism by no means unparalleled in the history of opera, but totally uncharacteristic of Britten. Myfanwy Piper is clear about the composer's aims: 'Neither Britten nor I ever intended to interpret the work, only to recreate it fora different medium' (Piper in Herbert (ed.), p. 11). This intention has been estinneri Lord Harewood has sug- gested that the reading which Vivien Jones identified as the 'first story' - the innocent governess and the objective reality of the ghosts - had priority with Britten: 'Harewood was adamant on the ambiva- lence of the governess's position. To him it was crucial never to know if she was mad or if everyone else was under the control of a malign influence.

  • July 2018 Nickolas Grace Wayne Sleep OBE
    President: Vice President: No. 503 - July 2018 Nickolas Grace Wayne Sleep OBE Shakespeare’s Birthday Party Reviewed by Liz Schafer The guest of honour at the 2018 Vic-Wells Association’s Shakespeare’s birthday party was Claire Bloom and it was particularly appropriate that the party was held in the rehearsal room where Claire rehearsed during her time at the Old Vic. She hadn’t enjoyed studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama, but here at the Vic she had revelled in working on the rôles of Juliet, (with Alan Badel as Romeo and Peter Finch as Mercutio), Ophelia (to Richard Burton’s Hamlet). She also played Viola in a Twelfth Night that included John Neville as Orsino, Paul Daneman as Feste, Richard Burton almost unrecognisable as a bewhiskered Sir Toby Belch and Michael Hordern as Malvolio. Meanwhile Viola’s twin Sebastian was played by Robert Hardy (How could Claire Bloom ever be mistaken for Robert Hardy?). Our President, Nickolas Grace, introduced Claire and pointed out how early her career took off – she was only 21 when she was picked out by Charlie Chaplin to star in Limelight: a daunting prospect, but Chaplin was totally supportive. Nickolas then reminisced about time spent working with Claire on Brideshead Claire Bloom as Thereza in Limelight Revisited when Nickolas played the outrageous Anthony Blanche and Claire played Lady Marchmain. Claire commented that although the cast was stellar, it was producer Derek Granger who was crucial in convincing her to do the series. Claire’s speech was the first try out of the Vic-Wells microphone, purchased so that speakers at parties can be heard more easily.
