In a series of interviews with fifty playwrights from the US and UK, this book offers a fascinating study of the voices, thoughts, and opinions of today's most important dramatists.
Filled with probing questions, Fifty Playwrights on their Craft explores ideas such as how does playwriting help a global dialogue; where do dramatists find the ideas that become the stories and narratives within their plays; how can the stage inform the writer's creative process; how does crossing boundaries between art forms push the living art form of theatre-making forward; and will there be playwrights in another 50 years? Through these interrogating interviews we come to understand how and why playwrights write what they do and gain insight into their processes and motivations. Together, the interviews provide an inter-generational dialogue between dramatists whose work spans over six decades.
Featuring interviews with playwrights such as Edward Bond, Katori Hall, Chris Goode, David Greig, Willy Russell, David Henry Hwang, Alecky Blythe, Anne Washburn and Simon Stephens, Jester and Svich offer an unprecedented view into the multiple perspectives and approaches of key playwrights on both sides of the Atlantic.

Автор: Toletti Gabriela Christie Название: On the Scene with Migration and Dictatorship: An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Work of Uruguayan Playwright Dino Armas ISBN: 1548977314 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781548977313 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 22930.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book includes works from Uruguayan playwright Dino Armas that deal with migration and dictatorship matters, as well as interpretive essays written by authors who specialize in Latin American literature, theater, psychology, and history. The compilation also includes two interviews with Armas. Examining this group of texts is a way to enter Dino Armas's world in order to inquire into local and universal human conflicts. Each work confronts us with human complexities that intertwine with social and historical realities to provide a profound and authentic commentary on migration and dictatorship issues. The book includes texts from the author that allude to or deal with the European migration to Uruguay during the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th, and works that examine the realities of the more recent migrations from Uruguay towards Europe, Australia, and other destinations. The former happened mainly as a way to escape the horrors of war and poverty in Europe. The latter were due primarily to political issues (during the military dictatorship years: 1973-1985) and economic ones (especially in the 1980's, and as a consequence of the 2002 crisis).This book constitutes a shared stage of reflection, analysis, collaboration, and affection for the playwright Dino Armas, the Hispanic culture, and a universal multicultural heritage.

Описание: Digital Information Design (DID) is primarily a business information management (BIM) model. As with any model it is used to help you to describe problems and test potential solutions. DID is not like any other method or framework model; it is independent of any other existing model or framework and does not claim to manage the entirety of the design of business information services. DID identifies useful and widely used best practices that are designed specifically for use in any phase of business information service development from idea, conception, specification, design, test, handover, service management and operation, or managing architectural issues or hardware and software installation. Primarily, DID was developed to manage the quality of information, and how to put it to good use. The DID model has been designed for you to identify what you need and when you need it when designing business information services and as a broad guide, identifies key points in existing frameworks that are particularly useful. The model is wholly independent of all other frameworks (including BiSL and BiSL Next in which the basic design is rooted). You can choose and use whatever you wish, the model will help you to assess the validity of your choice(s) and identify strengths and weaknesses in your approach.The DID model focuses on the common languages to describe key elements of design (need and value, mission and capability), key business information perspectives (business, information/data, services and technology) and the high-level domains (governance, strategy, improvement and operation) that must be managed in order to effectively run any business.DID helps you to identify only what you need to ensure that business information design reflects what is needed by your enterprise. The model can be used entirely separately from the framework level guidance discussed and it can be used at any level in the organization. The essentials of DID are explained in two books: this book, Foundation and the Practitioner book that will be published later.
Playwright and Broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda is best known as the mind behind the smash-hit musical Hamilton. This title explores Hamilton and Miranda's other works, as well as his life off-stage.
Автор: Ibsen Henrik Название: Ghosts: A Play by the Norwegian Playwright Henrik Ibsen ISBN: 0368560201 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780368560200 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 20260.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Written in 1881, when melodrama and farce were still at their peak of popularity, Ibsen's Ghosts is a three-act tragedy that explores uncomfortable, even forbidden themes. It is also a highly critical commentary on the morality of the day. The play centers around the widow of a prominent Norwegian sea captain whose son returns home and, with tragic consequences, revives the ghosts of the past that she has long labored to put to rest. Ghosts immediately became a source of controversy for its inclusion of topics like venereal disease, incest, and euthanasia, and it was banned from being performed in England for many years. Its arrival signals a shift in the nature of theatre and, despite negative criticism, it was translated into other languages and performed in Sweden, Germany, and New York within a few years of its debut. It stands now as one of the works considered to have ushered in the era of modern drama.
