The Cambridge Companion To The Actress written by John Stokes and has been published by Cambridge University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007-02-01 with Drama categories.
This Companion brings together sixteen new essays which examine, from various perspectives, the social and cultural role of the actress throughout history and across continents. Each essay focuses on a particular stage in her development, for example professionalism in the seventeenth century; the emergence of the actress/critic during the Romantic period and, later on, of the actress as best selling autobiographer; the coming of the drama schools which led to today's emphasis on the actress as a highly-trained working woman. Chapters consider the image of the actress as a courtesan, as a 'muse', as a representative of the 'ordinary' housewife, and as a political activist. The collection also contains essays on forms, genres and traditions - on cross dressing, solo performance, racial constraints, and recent Shakespeare - as well as on the actress in early photography and on film. Its unique range will fascinate, surprise and instruct theatre-goers and students alike.

LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2020 Man Booker Prize-winner and bestselling author Anne Enright's latest--a brilliant and moving novel about fame, sexual power, and a daughter's search to understand her mother's hidden truths. This is the story of Irish theatre legend, Katherine O'Dell, as written by her daughter Norah. It tells of early stardom in Hollywood, of highs and lows on the stages of Dublin and London's West End. Katherine's life is a grand performance, with young Norah watching from the wings. But this romance between mother and daughter cannot survive Katherine's past, or the world's damage. As Norah uncovers her mother's secrets, she acquires a few of her own. Then, fame turns to infamy when Katherine decides to commit a bizarre crime. Actress is about a daughter's search for the truth: the dark secret in the bright star, and what drove Katherine finally mad. Brilliantly capturing the glamour of post-war America and the shabbiness of 1970s Dublin, Actress is an intensely moving, disturbing novel about mothers and daughters and the men in their lives. A scintillating examination of the corrosive nature of celebrity, it is also a sad and triumphant tale of freedom from bad love, and from the avid gaze of the crowd.

'The great spirit of this whole period was all around us in Jacob's ...] What might happen if we lost meant nothing: life or death, freedom or imprisonment, these things did not enter into it at all.'--M ? ? ? ire Nic Shuibhlaigh ***M ? ? ? ire Nic Shuibhlaigh was a founder actress of the Abbey Theatre and its first leading lady on its opening in 1904 when she played the Countess Kathleen in W.B. Yeats's Cathleen ni Houlihan. Her beauty and talent captivated both national and international audiences and critics. Portrait artists queued up to paint her. Revolutionaries and poets wrote plays for her. The Pearse brothers, A.E., Countess Markievicz, J. M. Synge and W. B. Yeats counted among her admirers. The book is a first-hand account of some of the momentous events that shaped Irish history. It deals with the establishment of the Abbey Theatre and Maire's role as leader of the Cumann na mBan 'girls' in Jacob's Biscuit Factory during the Rising. M ? ? ? ire's writing adds an authentic voice to the witnesses of that time. Subject: History, Irish Studies, Theatre Studies, Memoir]
