  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

    ANANSI BOYS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Neil Gaiman | 416 pages | 11 Jul 2011 | HarperCollins Publishers Inc | 9780060515195 | English | New York, NY, United States Anansi Boys (American Gods, #2) by Neil Gaiman Gaiman turned his attention to African mythology and the figure of Anansi the spider god. Having already made a scene-stealing appearance in the award-winning American Gods , the irresistible Mr Nancy makes a triumphant return in this witty romp of a novel — perfect for fans of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. Now you merely have to do something just as beautiful and just as ground-breaking. Inside, fully illustrated, original black-and-white chapter headings tell their own folktale — all of which are especially fitting for a book about the power and vitality of stories. Spider was the cool one; he was the other one. Bereavement is a time of upheaval and for Fat Charlie Nancy the changes are practically seismic. Not only does he discover that his embarrassing old dad was actually Anansi the African trickster god, his life is about to be invaded and turned upside down by Spider, the magical twin brother he never knew he had. As well as helping to inspire the book, Lenny Henry provided advice and insight on Caribbean syntax and dialogue, helping to ensure that the voices of the characters sounded authentic. His work demonstrates exactly how wild and varied the field can be, from uprooting fairy tales in Stardust to exposing the fantastical underbelly of London in Neverwhere. Neil Gaiman is a critically acclaimed writer of short fiction, novels, comic books, graphic novels, audio theatre and films.

It's a simple philosophy. When perhaps a chap's in trouble. I respond with alacrity. And if my fellow men have problems Whatever they might be They call on me The sterling Wooster B. For despite This easy nature Come the evening When battle dawns To see a Wooster Grab the livestock by both the horns For when a Wooster's mask of pleasure Becomes a steely stare You'll know he's there He'll never turn a hair What would a chap do without it? How would he get through without it? How could he stay true wihtout the Code of the Woosters? If you're at sea, I shall be there, even put off tea to be there Woosters have swum oceans for the Code of Allegiance duly owed to the Wooster Code What a load If a girl Is in the doldrums Not a paddle To her name I'll be there Though frankly speaking Womanizing's not my game But if she's really in a lather Wild eyed and hat askew He'll see her through Old you know who... Whenever it calls, can't ignore it, even give up Ascot for it Woosters have died gladly for the code of For that rugged, heavy load called the Wooster Code What a load Take my card In case you need me, if you're jousting a losing cause Like the chap Who wins the double I can rattle The natural laws So if you're eaten up with anguish I'll snatch you from its jaws No second's pause From one sincerely yours..

  • The Image of Contemporary Society in Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere
    Pobrane z czasopisma New Horizons in English Studies http://newhorizons.umcs.pl Data: 08/10/2021 04:42:57 New Horizons in English Studies 1/2016 LITERATURE • Julia Kula Maria Curie-SkłodowSka univerSity (uMCS) in LubLin [email protected] The Image of Contemporary Society in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere Abstract. Neil Gaiman’s urban fantasy novel Neverwhere revolves around some problematic aspects prevalent in the contemporary world, such as an iniquitous discrepancy between social classes or a problematic attitude to history. The artistic universes created by Gaiman are instrumental in con- veying a complex condition of postmodern society. Although one of the represented worlds, London Above, is realistic and the other, London Below, is fantastic, both are suggestive of the contemporary social situation, citizens’ shared values and aspirations. Only when considered together can they reveal a comprehensive image of what the community accepts and what it rejects as no longer consistent with commonly held beliefs. UMCS The disparities in the representations of London Above and London Below refer to the division into the present and the past. The realistically portrayed metropolis is the embodiment of contemporary times. The fantastic London Below epitomises all that is ignored or rejected by London Above. The present study is going to discuss the main ideas encoded in the semiotic spaces created by Neil Gaiman, on the basis of postmodern theories. I am going to focus on how the characteristic features of postmodern fiction, such as the use of fantasy and the application of the ontological dominant, by highlighting the boundaries between London Above and London Below affect the general purport of the work.
