Euripides' Bacchae is the magnum opus of the ancient world's most popular dramatist and the most modern, perhaps postmodern, of Greek tragedies. Twentieth-century poets and playwrights have often turned their hand to Bacchae, leaving the play with an especially rich and varied translation history. It has also been subjected to several fashions of criticism and interpretation over the years, all reflected in, influencing, and influenced by translation. The Gentle, Jealous God introduces the play and surveys its wider reception; examines a selection of English translations from the early 20th century to the early 21st, setting them in their social, intellectual, and cultural context; and argues, finally, that Dionysus and Bacchae remain potent cultural symbols even now.
Simon Perris presents a fascinating cultural history of one of world theatre's landmark classics. He explores the reception of Dionysus, Bacchae, and the classical ideal in a violent and turmoil-ridden era. And he demonstrates by example that translation matters, or should matter, to readers, writers, actors, directors, students, and scholars of ancient drama.

Автор: Russell Jackson Название: Noel Coward: The Playwright`s Craft in a Changing Theatre ISBN: 1350246107 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350246102 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 30610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This is the first book-length work to draw extensively on unpublished archive material to document the composition and reception of some of Noel Coward's most significant plays. It examines his working practices as a playwright, from manuscript to performance. This study argues that, while he did not embrace any of the more radical theatrical ‘isms’ of his time, Coward experimented with both form and content. He adapted the familiar ‘well-made’ formulas, while also emphasizing theatrical self-consciousness and an exploration of radical social and sexual relationships. After an overview of Coward’s career and the reception of his plays, the work discusses selected texts from successive phases of Coward’s career, including some unproduced or uncompleted work and perennially popular plays such as The Vortex, Hay Fever, Private Lives, Design for Living, Blithe Spirit and Present Laughter. This study also explores how, in the aftermaths of two world wars, as major changes in social and political circumstances suggested new approaches to dramaturgy, Coward's post-1945 work failed to achieve the same success he had enjoyed in earlier periods. The final chapter examines Coward’s approach to his craft in response to the new theatrical and cultural environment, and the new freedom in the treatment of homosexuality represented by Suite in Three Keys and his final, uncompleted play, Age Cannot Wither.

Fifty Playwrights on their Craft offers, through interviews, an in-depth survey of the most important contemporary playwrights working in the UK and US today as they probe key questions and considerations around their craft. The volume's editors spoke to fifty contemporary playwrights whose voices, thoughts and opinions populate this fascinating study.
Through interrogating questions such as how does playwriting help a global dialogue; where do playwrights find the ideas that become the stories and narratives within their plays; how can the stage inform the playwright's creative process; how does crossing boundaries between artforms push the living artform of playwriting forward; and will there be playwrights in another 50 years, 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 playwrights whose work spans over six decades, providing unique insight into the craft behind the words we hear on the stage.
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, the book offers an unprecedented insight into the key playwrights of today, as well as multiple perspectives on this area of dramatic writing.
