  • 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.

  • Who Was William Shakespeare?*
    On Biography ISSN 2283-8759 DOI 10.13133/2283-8759-2 pp. 61-79 (December 2015) Who Was William Shakespeare?* Graham Holderness What a strange question! Shakespeare is acknowledged throughout the world as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of writers; he has an unrivalled position as the greatest author of British culture. Can you imagine anyone asking that question of any other national writer? Who was Miguel de Cervantes? Who was Dante Alighieri? Who was Johannes Wolfgang von Goethe? So why Shakespeare? The problem is everywhere. It troubles even Gwyneth Paltrow. “Are you the author of the plays of William Shakespeare?” asks Viola de Lessops, in the film Shakespeare in Love. What a roundabout way of asking someone’s name! “Are you William Shakespeare?” would have been simpler. But Viola is, in fact, not just after a man, but in quest of a literary biography. She knew and loved the plays, before she knew and loved the author. Like her original, Viola Compton in the comic novel No Bed for Bacon1, she doesn’t want just any man, even one as dashing and soulful and sexy as Joseph Fiennes. She wants the author of the plays of William Shakespeare; who happens, in this instance, to be William Shakespeare himself. And fortunately for her, Shakespeare is, in the film, dashing and soulful and sexy, and not, for example, as he might have been in life, little, balding, grumpy and gay. And that involved syntax even sneaks in the pos- sibility that “the author of the plays of William Shakespeare” might * A number of passages in this article previously appeared in Graham Holderness, Nine Lives of William Shakespeare, The Arden Shakespeare, London, Bloomsbury Publishing, 2011.

Smith Inc | 9781423622055 | English | Layton, United States Shakespeare's Boss: The Master of Revels Shakespeare in Love is a romantic period comedy-drama film directed by John Maddenwritten by Marc Norman and playwright Tom Stoppardand produced by Harvey Weinstein. Little Master Shakespeare characters are based on historical figures, and many of the characters, lines, and plot devices allude to Shakespeare's plays. Suffering from writer's block with a new comedy, Romeo and Little Master Shakespeare, the Pirate's DaughterShakespeare attempts to seduce Rosaline, mistress of Richard Burbageowner of the rival Curtain Theatreand to convince Burbage to buy the play from Henslowe. Shakespeare receives advice from rival playwright Christopher Marlowebut is despondent to learn Rosaline is sleeping with Master of the Revels Edmund Tilney. The desperate Henslowe, in debt to ruthless moneylender Fennyman, begins auditions anyway. Viola de Lesseps, daughter of a wealthy Little Master Shakespeare, who has seen Shakespeare's plays at court, disguises herself as a man named Thomas Kent to audition. He pursues Kent to Viola's house and leaves a note with her nurse, asking Kent to begin rehearsals at the Rose. Shakespeare sneaks into a ball at the house, where Viola's parents arrange her betrothal to impoverished aristocrat Lord Wessex. Dancing with Viola, Shakespeare is struck speechless and ejected by Wessex, who threatens to kill him, leading Shakespeare to say that he is Christopher Marlowe. He finds Viola on her balcony, where they confess their mutual attraction before he is discovered by her nurse and flees.

  • Bonded Shakespeare
    Iulian Boldea, Cornel Sigmirean (Editors) MULTICULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS. Literature and Discourse as Forms of Dialogue Arhipelag XXI Press, Tîrgu Mureș, 2016 69 ISBN: 978-606-8624-16-7 Section: Literature BONDED SHAKESPEARE Dragoș Avădanei Assoc. Prof., PhD, ”Al. Ioan Cuza” University of Iași Abstract:To study Shakespeare’s following as a literary influence in the world is next to impossible, due to the immense number of writings, in countless languages, published in the past four-hundred years. As the title suggests, this paper refers to an intriguing twentieth-century British playwright, Edward Bond, who proposes two Shakespeare-related plays, Lear (1971) and Bingo (1973), where the great Renaissance bard is not only radically transformed, but also drastically diminished: King Lear is re-written in Lear as a systematic and hostile critique of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, full of violence, cruelty, aggressiveness…, and “extravagance that is both boring and repellent”; Bingo, in its turn, proposes a revisionist portrait of Shakespeare as a man (in his final days) and an author, a denunciation of the great dramatist by an ideologically motivated Marxist-socialist-Brechtian writer. Keywords: Shakespeare, Bond, Lear, re-write, Marxism, Brecht In the past four hundred years “William Shakespeare” has become the greatest literary-cultural phenomenon of all times: his work has been translated into practically all the languages of the globe /sic!/; his plays have not only been staged in numberless theaters, but were also re-written, adapted, imitated,
