  • 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.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact Jeanne Juneau Telephone (360) 221-8262 or (800) 638-7631 Email [email protected] WICA 2013-14 Theatre Series: Blithe Spirit A Comic Play by Noël Coward Langley, WA, October 3, 2013— Whidbey Island Center for the Arts opens the 2013-14 Theatre Series with a ghostly comedy, Blithe Spirit, on Friday, October 11. Written by Noël Coward and directed by Phil Jordan, the production will run through October 26—just in time to get in the Halloween “spirit!” Blithe Spirit was first seen in the West End of London in 1941, creating a new long-run record for non-musical British plays of 1,997 performances. The play concerns the socialite and novelist, Charles Condomine who invites the eccentric clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. At the séance, she inadvertently summons Charles's first wife, Elvira, who has been dead for seven years. Madame Arcati leaves after the séance, unaware that she has summoned Elvira. Only Charles can see or hear Elvira, and his second wife, Ruth, does not believe that Elvira exists until a floating vase is handed to her out of thin air. The ghostly Elvira makes continued, and increasingly desperate, efforts to disrupt Charles's current marriage. She finally sabotages his car in the hope of killing him so that he will join her in the spirit world, but it is Ruth rather than Charles who drives off and is killed. Ruth's ghost immediately comes back for revenge on Elvira, and though Charles cannot at first see Ruth, he can see that Elvira is being chased and tormented, and his house is in uproar.

  • NEWSLETTER No 9 February 2019.Pdf
    NEWSLETTER no 9 February 2019 Dear Member “Midwinter spring is its own season”, as T S Eliot rather cryptically told us. As we write this, it does seem rather more like spring than winter. But as Eliot goes on to ask, “Where is the summer?” If we do as well as we did in 2018 it will be time for the resurgence of the Civic Society Corporate Hat, a garment much in evidence in our visit to Southwell as depicted in our newsletter last autumn. ALBERT FINNEY 1936-2019 Never Sir Albert Finney: he refused it, as his socialist character Arthur Seaton, anti-hero of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, would no doubt have refused it; but fortunately Arthur Seaton’s creator Alan Sillitoe did not refuse the Freedom of the City of Nottingham, for which Hilary put him forward. Albert Finney was not the first choice for the starring role of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning: Bulwell native Peter Bowles was auditioned for it, but told he didn’t sound Northern enough (well he wouldn’t, would he? The Nottingham accent is as difficult for actors as the Leicester one, which explains why in the 1983 ITV series based on The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole all the characters took on Brummie accents). As for Bowles, he vowed never to use his Nottingham accent on stage again, being somewhat Cockney in Blow Up and Bless Me Father, and totally upper class in To the Manor Born and Rumpole of the Bailey. Albert Finney sounded Northern all right: he was born in Salford.

All Rights Reserved. 1907 7 %t « r • » c«« • « » r f • • ' • • • • ••• • e * t -• •-• r preface. In tracing the Bowles Family the compiler has been content to follow carefully through the pages of history from the field of Hastings and the fens of Lin- coln as they advance generation upon generation, in the peaceful homestead or far out on the faint frontier in the company of Wolfe or Washington, Crockett or Grant. The English Bowles pedigree is authentic and unbroken and is here printed for the first time. The destruction of records in the Peninsular counties of Virginia by the ravages of war made it impossible to construct an unbroken lineage of the Virginia branch. In all the generations from the Norman Conquest to the Twentieth Century the Bowles name has been represented in those crises which appeal to the honor and the patriotism of the best types of the English- speaking races. The lineage has been carefully traced, for though tradition has not been ignored, the authority is given for important facts, and these facts are suffic- ient to tinge the story with all the charm of romance.
