  • THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON by JM Barrie</H1>
    THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON by J. M. Barrie THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON by J. M. Barrie This etext was produced by Charles Franks, Ralph Zimmermann and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team THE PLAYS OF J. M. BARRIE THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON A COMEDY ACT I AT LOAM HOUSE, MAYFAIR A moment before the curtain rises, the Hon. Ernest Woolley drives up to the door of Loam House in Mayfair. There is a happy smile on his pleasant, insignificant face, and this presumably means that he is thinking of himself. He is too busy over nothing, this man about page 1 / 170 town, to be always thinking of himself, but, on the other hand, he almost never thinks of any other person. Probably Ernest's great moment is when he wakes of a morning and realises that he really is Ernest, for we must all wish to be that which is our ideal. We can conceive him springing out of bed light-heartedly and waiting for his man to do the rest. He is dressed in excellent taste, with just the little bit more which shows that he is not without a sense of humour: the dandiacal are often saved by carrying a smile at the whole thing in their spats, let us say. Ernest left Cambridge the other day, a member of The Athenaeum (which he would be sorry to have you confound with a club in London of the same name). He is a bachelor, but not of arts, no mean epigrammatist (as you shall see), and a favourite of the ladies.

  • Drama Book Shop Became an Independent Store in 1923
    SAVORING THE CLASSICAL TRADITION IN DRAMA ENGAGING PRESENTATIONS BY THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD I N P R O U D COLLABORATION WIT H THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB THE PLAYERS, NEW YORK CITY THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNION SALUTING A UNIQUE INSTITUTION ♦ Monday, November 26 Founded in 1917 by the Drama League, the Drama Book Shop became an independent store in 1923. Since 2001 it has been located on West 40th Street, where it provides a variety of services to the actors, directors, producers, and other theatre professionals who work both on and off Broadway. Many of its employees THE PLAYERS are young performers, and a number of them take part in 16 Gramercy Park South events at the Shop’s lovely black-box auditorium. In 2011 Manhattan the store was recognized by a Tony Award for Excellence RECEPTION 6:30, PANEL 7:00 in the Theatre . Not surprisingly, its beneficiaries (among them Admission Free playwrights Eric Bogosian, Moises Kaufman, Lin-Manuel Reservations Requested Miranda, Lynn Nottage, and Theresa Rebeck), have responded with alarm to reports that high rents may force the Shop to relocate or close. Sharing that concern, we joined The Players and such notables as actors Jim Dale, Jeffrey Hardy, and Peter Maloney, and writer Adam Gopnik to rally support for a cultural treasure. DAKIN MATTHEWS ♦ Monday, January 28 We look forward to a special evening with DAKIN MATTHEWS, a versatile artist who is now appearing in Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed Broadway dramatization of To Kill a Mockingbird. In 2015 Dakin portrayed Churchill, opposite Helen Mirren’s Queen Elizabeth II, in the NATIONAL ARTS CLUB Broadway transfer of The Audience.

  • Gus Van Sant Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Gus Van Sant Regis Dialogue with Scott Macaulay, 2003 Scott Macaulay: We're here at the Walker Art Center for Regis dialogue with American filmmaker Gus Van Sant. He'll be discussing the unique artistic vision that runs through his entire body of work. Gus was first recognized for a trilogy of films that dealt with street hustlers, Mala Noche, Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho. He then went on to experiment with forum and a number of other films including To Die For, Psycho and even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Gus is perhaps best known for his films, Goodwill Hunting and Finding Forrester, but all of his work including his latest film, Gerry, has his own unique touch. We'll be discussing Gus' films today during this Regis dialogue. I'm Scott Macaulay, producer and editor of Filmmaker Magazine. I'll be your guide through Gus' work today in this Regis dialogue. Thanks. Gus Van Sant: Thank you. Scott Macaulay: It's a real pleasure to be here with Gus Van Sant on this retrospective ... Which is called on the road again. I guess there are a lot of different illusions in that title, a lot of very obvious ones because a lot of Gus' movies deal with travel and change and people going different places, both locations within America but also in their lives. But another interesting implication of the title is that this retrospective is occurring on the eve of the release here and also nationwide of Gerry, which is really one of Gus' best and most moving films but it's also yet sort of another new direction for Gus as a filmmaker.

  • Tackling Challenging Issues in Shakespeare for Young Audiences
    Shrews, Moneylenders, Soldiers, and Moors: Tackling Challenging Issues in Shakespeare for Young Audiences DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Harelik, M.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Professor Lesley Ferris, Adviser Professor Jennifer Schlueter Professor Shilarna Stokes Professor Robin Post Copyright by Elizabeth Harelik 2016 Abstract Shakespeare’s plays are often a staple of the secondary school curriculum, and, more and more, theatre artists and educators are introducing young people to his works through performance. While these performances offer an engaging way for students to access these complex texts, they also often bring up topics and themes that might be challenging to discuss with young people. To give just a few examples, The Taming of the Shrew contains blatant sexism and gender violence; The Merchant of Venice features a multitude of anti-Semitic slurs; Othello shows characters displaying overtly racist attitudes towards its title character; and Henry V has several scenes of wartime violence. These themes are important, timely, and crucial to discuss with young people, but how can directors, actors, and teachers use Shakespeare’s work as a springboard to begin these conversations? In this research project, I explore twenty-first century productions of the four plays mentioned above. All of the productions studied were done in the United States by professional or university companies, either for young audiences or with young people as performers. I look at the various ways that practitioners have adapted these plays, from abridgments that retain basic plot points but reduce running time, to versions incorporating significant audience participation, to reimaginings created by or with student performers.

  • Theatre Archive Project: Interview with Colin George
    THEATRE ARCHIVE PROJECT http://sounds.bl.uk Colin George – interview transcript Interviewer: Kate Harris 21 November 2005 Actor and Director. A Man for All Seasons; audiences; Birmingham Rep; children's theatre; Coventry Belgrade theatre; The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield; drama students; The Elizabethan Theatre Company; Albert Finney; Tyrone Guthrie; Peter Hall; Laurence Olivier; Look Back in Anger; Harold Pinter; The Playhouse Nottingham; The Playhouse, Sheffield; repertory; Maggie Smith; television. KH: This is an interview on the 21st of November with Colin George. Can I just confirm that I've got your permission to put this into the archive? CG: You have. KH: Brilliant, I'd just like to start by asking about how you began working in the theatre? CG: Yes, I began straight from Oxford. I'd been… I suppose inspired by Laurence Olivier principally and his film Henry V, but also I saw him as a boy, in his first Richard III, his first great performance, at the New Theatre, with Olivier, with Richardson and those great seasons they had, Hotspur, you know and so on and decided I'd go into the theatre. And my mother, God bless her, said, ‘Well, get a degree first darling, then you'll always have something to fall back on’, which proved absolutely right, because when I was middle aged - not middle aged, but getting on, three kids and that and no money having left Sheffield and all that - I went to Australia to set up a drama department and later worked for twelve years in Hong Kong, was head of acting at the drama… and that saved my life.

We are pleased to be addressing you jointly for the very first time as we launch a new chapter in the history of The Old Globe. We look forward to honoring and building upon this theatre’s cherished traditions by creating extraordinary theatre for you. DOUG GATES No Globe tradition is more beloved than our annual Managing Director Michael G. Murphy with recently appointed production of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. Christmas! We celebrate its 15th Anniversary this year, a milestone that would not have been possible without the support of one very special person. For more than three decades, Audrey Geisel has been close to the heart of The Old Globe, providing support through her kindness, warm smile, charming wit and great generosity. She is a champion of the arts in this community, serving as philanthropist, advocate and leader for many institutions. The production that you see today is on our stage thanks to Theodor Geisel’s creativity and Audrey’s vision and most sincere friendship. Tens of thousands of children have come to know live theatre through the Grinch, and we are grateful to Audrey that each year we are able to mount this production and introduce more young people to this magical art form. We are so proud that for the last 15 years, our audiences have made The Old Globe part of their holiday celebrations.
