Distant Music

Spisovatel: Bingham Charlotte, Bantam Books 2002
Katalogové číslo: G3667

Life was tough in England after the Second World War -- at least it was for those who were not part of some particular elite, the fabulously wealthy or the tiny coterie of British film and theatre stars. Little wonder then that Elsie Lancaster, the granddaughter of a theatrical landlady, thinks of nothing else but trying to become one of that shining constellation. Surprising therefore, given their very different origins, that Oliver Plunkett shares the same ambition, for his is the pampered background of old money. Groomed from an early age by his father's theatre-mad butler, there is no other world to which he aspires. No such ambition infuses his best friend, the kooky Coco Hampton. Theatre for her is all about costume, costume, costume. That they all become involved with Portly Cosgrove -- sometime manager, and soon-to-be-agent -- is part of the inevitable flow of theatrical life, as is the fact that they become emotionally entangled with each other. Come success or failure, the music they dance to is the distant music of fame and fortune, a tune which is often dim and, at other times, tantalisingly clear -- only to fade once more.... malý formát,brožovaná,v angličtine,575 strán

Theatre and humanism in a world of violence

Spisovatel: Herbert Ian, Stefanova Kalina, St. Kliment Ohridski University press 2009
Katalogové číslo: O2469

What makes violence on stage today so sexy? Until quite recently, violence for its own sake was the prerogative of B-feature films and junk mystery novels. What made theatre follow suit? What is the impact of the theatre of violence on the audience? Doesn't it actually make us conformists? Is there still a place for humanism among all the post-modern isms , including post-human or meta-human theatre? What is the relationship between violence and the aesthetics of ugliness? How does theatre stand against the right of might (and the ensuing violence) which has become a norm today on the stage of the world? And how can theatre and critics help preserve humanistic values on and off stage? Should they even try? This book is the first attempt in such a format to answer these hot questions; an overdue endeavour at a time when human life is becoming more and more devalued and human beings more and more disposable... v angličtine, brožovaná, väčší formát, 288 strán
