With these bold words, the League of Workers Theatres announced its intent to change the world through theatre performance. The idea struck a chord for while the first run of Workers Theatre was 200 mimeographed 10-cent copies produced for only $11.00, by 1932, a thousand copies were printed each month and by 1935 it claimed to match the circulation of Theatre Arts Monthly, then the leading national theatre magazine.3 The above declaration marked the beginning of a tenacious 10-year run of the League of Workers Theatres (later called the New Theatre League), an ambitious and quixotic effort to transform the “cut throat capitalist system” to one of economic justice through revolutionary theatre. Along the way, League members created new theatrical forms and new ways of delivering political performance, struggled against personal ruin and organizational bankruptcy, and clashed with one another politically and aesthetically. 1 Albert Prentiss. "Basic Principles." 1-2. 2 Literature of the time usually uses the plural form of ‘workers’ rather than the possessive. This book will follow suit. 3 Jay Williams. Stage Left. 46. 3 Political activists and theatre artists who found common cause in the crucible of the Great Depression of the 1930s and who formed the League set as its goal nothing less than radical economic and political change in the United States, replacing the free-market economy and its attendant individualistic values with a Soviet-style workers’ state. This radical goal was a double-edged sword, however; it proved to be the iron strength of the League’s dogged 10-year history while it simultaneously hobbled its ability to survive and grow. Political and theatrical context The League was part of a small community of theatre artists who used theatre for political change; some branches of politicized theatre went back to the late 1800s and organized workers; others developed later and closer to the arts world. The Left theatre movement in the 1930s grew against a background of economic disaster. The stock market crash of 1929 meant devastation for the U.S. economy and for millions of people. During the first three years after the crash, 1929-1931, money spent on industrial construction dropped from $949 million to $74 million. By 1932, 13 million people were unemployed. Shantytowns sprang up across the country, built by people who had been evicted from housing they could no longer afford. The collections of shacks were named “Hoovervilles” after then-President Herbert Hoover.4 In this context, Left political theatre grew alongside broader Leftist ideas. Roosevelt’s record four-term presidency attested to wide-spread support for a reformist, left-leaning leadership. For the Communist connected League core, however, the Democrats were no better than the Republicans - both were capitalists and therefore class 4 William Leuchtenberg, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal: 1932 - 1940. 1. 3 4 enemies. Support for the radical wing of Left politics increased during those years. Although they were never serious contenders, both the Socialist and the Communist candidates for President received significantly more votes in 1932 than they had in 1928. The Communist ticket of Foster and Ford, for example, doubled its vote, totaling around 48,000 in 1932, and Socialist Norman Thomson received about 448,000 votes.5 The increase reflects disillusionment, perhaps, with the system that had made, and failed to deliver, the great promise of the American Dream. People organized the workplace in larger numbers, as the union movement grew exponentially during the decade, assisted by federal legislation that supported union organizing that was signed into law during the Roosevelt Administration. For example, in 1937, the United Auto Workers’ membership was more than 400,000, up from 30,000 just the previous year. The May Day Parade in New York was “so big,” wrote Malcolm Cowley, “that it had to be divided into two sections.” One section marched from Battery Park north to Union Square; the other from the north. There were 19,000 New York City Police on duty to quell an expected riot, but the day was peaceful.6 A general increase in support for the Left translated to a shift in the arts. Social issues became more central to arts events, which included more and more ‘socially significant’ subject matter. Dance, art, literature, music, photography, and film artists developed similar political sections and later in the 1930s some of those became 5 Harvey Klehr. The Heyday of American Communism: The Depression Decade. 67. 6 Quoted in Michael Denning. The Cultural Front. 54. 4 5 participants in the magazine published by the League7. The League found fertile soil to plant the seeds of radical theatre in the political climate of the Depression years. The urge to do something to change economic conditions bred the convergence of theatre art and political activism. Among the most radical forms of the activism involved, and the one that fueled the organization of the League of Workers Theatres, was revolutionary Communism. The Communist Party of the United States (the C.P.U.S.A.) had strong links to the Party in the U.S.S.R. The Party in Moscow theorized sequential stages in the development of world communism in order to develop policy and plan the work towards a worldwide “workers state.” International Communist policy in the early thirties was termed “Third Period Communism” and it predicted the imminent collapse of capitalism, leading to chaos from which the workers state would naturally arise. The C.P.U.S.A. based its union organizing strategy on the anticipated collapse and the arts were perceived as one of the tools to help it come about. “Art is a weapon,” claimed the Party, in carrying out class warfare. The League of Workers Theatres arose from the ardent conviction that theatre performance could create revolutionary change. The League developed from a pre-existing theatre group, the Workers Laboratory Theatre (W.L.T.). According to Jay Williams, a participant who wrote a lively memoir of his time with radical Left theatre in the Depression era8, a rather unlikely group of people established the W.L.T. in 1929. They followed the example of the Prolet-Buehne, the premier political theatre in New York at the time. John Bonn, a German immigrant and founding member of the C.P.U.S.A., headed the Prolet-Buehne, which performed 7 See Herbert Kline’s New Theatre and Film: 1934-1937 for background and information on the magazine itself; and Michael Denning’s The Cultural Front, which discusses several key developments in U.S. culture in a broad context of politicized art. 8 Jay Williams’ given name was Harold Jacobsen. It was as Jacobsen that he acted in W.L.T. productions. 5 6 innovative political sketches in German.9 W.L.T. members wanted to offer similar performances in English. Surprisingly, the founders of the W.L.T. had little experience in theatre, but they were intensely interested in working with the Prolet-Buehne’s new type of performance as a positive force for change. Among W.L.T. founding members were the brothers Jack and Hyam Shapiro, who were by trade metal casters; Alfred Saxe, from Illinois by way of the University of Wisconsin Experimental School and its drama programs; Harry Elion, an economics graduate from City College of New York; Al Prentiss, an engineer; and Bernard Reines, a would-be playwright.10 W.L.T. aspirations paralleled the Prolet-Beuhne’s goals of generating change from within the working class. All members of the W.L.T. subscribed to Leftist political positions, and by connecting with John Bonn’s Prolet-Buehne, they associated directly with the Communist movement. The mix of backgrounds distinctly lacked focused preparation in theatre. Saxe had encountered avant-garde forms of theatre when he was a student at the University in Madison, Wisconsin, and Reines had an interest in playwriting, but none came from strong theatrical roots. Perhaps they saw theatre as a skill anyone could learn, like the ability to wield a hammer or run a machine. The group certainly created an organization that used theatre as a tool for shaping the political and economic world, and it welcomed participants based upon their dedication to the cause first and foremost; artistic talent, although certainly desired, was secondary.

  • Harold Pinter's Bleak Political Vision
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/7525-994-0.07 Studies in English Drama and Poetry Vol. 3 Paulina Mirowska University of Łódź The Silencing of Dissent: Harold Pinter’s Bleak Political Vision Abstract: The article centres upon one of Harold Pinter’s last plays, Celebration, first performed at the Almeida Theatre, London, on 16 March 2000. Similarly to Party Time, a dystopian political play written almost a decade earlier, Celebration pursues the theme of a sheltered zone of power effectively marginalising a social “other.” This time, however, Pinter adopts the mode of comedy to dramatise the fragile and circumscribed existence of dissent and the moral coarseness of complacent elites. The article traces a number of intriguing analogies between Celebration and Pinter’s explicitly political plays of the 1980s and 1990s dealing with the suppression of dissident voices by overwhelming structures of established power. It is demonstrated how – despite the play’s fashionable restaurant setting, ostensibly far removed from the torture sites of One for the Road, Mountain Language and The New World Order – Pinter succeeds in relating the insulated world of Celebration to the harsh reality of global oppression. What is significant, I argue here against interpreting the humorous power inversions of the social behaviour in Celebration as denoting any fundamental changes in larger sociopolitical structures. It is rather suggested that the play reveals the centrality of Pinter’s scepticism about the possibility of eluding, subverting or curtailing the silencing force of entrenched status quo, implying perpetual nature of contemporary inequities of power. I also look at how the representatives of the empowered in-group in the play contain transgressing voices and resort to language distortion to vindicate oppression.

Pin- 431512 [email protected] ================================================================== Abstract John Galsworthy was an English playwright of 20th century. Alike G. B. Shaw he used drama as a vehicle for assigning communal criticism in each of his plays, he uncovered some social illness or other. John Galsworthy’s conception of drama is grounded on realism and general sense of morals. He supposed that drama is a noteworthy art form and capable of inspiring the attention and conveying consciousness of honorable ideologies in human life. Being a law graduate he was conscious of the severe restriction of a legalistic approach to men and matters. Galsworthy also becomes victim of rigid law and rigid society, since he was not married to his lover, Ada. In Justice he exposes all evil of the society like rigid divorce law, rigidity of society, solitary confinement and injustice done to prisoner. Galsworthy presented it by using naturalistic technique. Therefore, basic aim of this paper is to study the ills of English society which caused the demise of the main character Falder. Keywords: John Galsworthy, Justice, Realistic, English society, naturalistic technique, rigid law Introduction John Galsworthy is the best eminent problem writer and novelist in the 20th century. Like Bernard Shaw and his forerunner Ibsen, Galsworthy also presented some boiling problems or other in all his plays.

They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.
