The Making of the West End Stage
ISBN: 9780521519014 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. All roads lead to London and to the West End theater. This book presents a new history of the beginnings of the modern world of London entertainment. Putting female-centered, gender-challenging managements and styles at the center, it redraws the map of performance history in the Victorian capital of the world. Bratton argues for the importance in Victorian culture of venues like the little Strand Theater and the Gallery of Illustration in Regent Street in the experience of mid-century London, and of plays drawn from the work of Charles Dickens as well as burlesques by the early writers of...

Dickensian Dramas, Volume 1: Plays from Charles Dickens
ISBN: 9780198787952 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Dickens loved the stage: he enjoyed thousands of evenings in the theatre, longed to write for the stage and to perform himself, an ambition that he eventually satisfied by touring alone with his Readings. Victorian prejudice and his need to preserve his personal image kept him from openly becoming a stage professional earlier in his career, but all his work was informed by his dramatic imagination. He found ways of circumventing these taboos by seeking closer and closer contact over the staging of his work with dramatic writers, admired actors, and trusted theatre managements. This...

The Victorian Clown
ISBN: 9780521816663 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Previously unpublished manuscripts--James Frowde's account of his young life with the famous Henglers' circus in the 1850s and Thomas Lawrence's 1871 gag book--offer unique, unmediated access to the grass roots of popular entertainment. Through them this book explores the role of the circus clown at the height of equestrian entertainment in Britain, when the comic generated audience attention for the riders and acrobats, by parodying their skills in his own tumbling and contortionism, and also offered a running commentary on the times through his own 'wheezes' or stand-up comedy sets.

Troilus and Cressida
ISBN: 9780521796842 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As social turmoil increased in England, audiences grew more in tune with Shakespeare's cynical undercutting of the Homeric tale of Greeks and Trojans, and less dismissive of his dark comedic treatment of the Medieval tale of Troilus and Cressida.

It draws upon critical responses, photographic archives, promptbooks, and video tapes of more recent productions to reveal changes in production styles and emphasis, against a broader background of social change.

King Henry V
ISBN: 9780521595117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is the first stage history of Shakespeare's King Henry V to cover the play's theatrical life since 1599. Staging this play is a political act, and the substantial Introduction traces its theatrical interventions into conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to Vietnam and the Falklands. The stage and film history raises interpretative questions--is Henry V an epic of English nationalism, a knowing and cynical piece of power politics, or an anti-war manifesto? The volume also includes the play text, illustrations and detailed footnotes about major performances.

Richard Madelaine explains how the challenging complexity of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra has at different times inhibited or promoted its success on the stage, and accounts for the remarkable resurgence of performances in the past twenty years.
