Excerpt from Four Original Plays: Unacted These plays are published, partly because the author is tired of hearing that original English plays are never written nowadays, and partly because the popular taste for farcical comedy and burlesque tends to crowd out work of serious purpose, be it the intensity of drama or the satire of comedy. We children of this last quarter of the nineteenth century have discovered that life is a farce, and not a drama; or if in any sense a drama, a drama of brutal realism - the tragedy of the slums, and the tragedy of the police court. Well, these plays, be they good or bad, are original English plays, and they have been written with a certain amount of serious purpose. Their main purpose is, of course, to interest and amuse - to interest, through an analysis of human nature and human motive, and through the conflict and clash of human passions to amuse, through a satirical rendering of human vanity and human folly.

Excerpt from Original Plays The Author begs you'll kind attention pay While I explain the object of his play. You have been taught, no doubt, by those professing To understand the thing, that Love's a blessing: Well, he intends to teach you the reverse - That Love is not a blessing, but a curse! But pray do not suppose it's his intent To do without this vital element - His drama would be in a pretty mess! With quite as fair a prospect of success, Might a dispensing chemist in his den Endeavor to dispense with oxygen. Too powerful an agent to pooh-pooh, There will be Love enough I warrant you: But as the aim of every play's to show That Love's essential to all men below, He uses it to prove, to all who doubt it, How well all men - but he - can do without it. To prove his case (a poor one, I admit), He begs that with him you will kindly flit To a pure fairy-land that's all his own, Where mortal love is utterly unknown.

A study of post–World War II plays set in “total institutions” such as hospitals, psychiatric wards, prisons, and military bases Plays of Impasse probes the structure and significance of the numerous and highly visible plays set in contemporary society’s dead ends—the hospitals, psychiatric wards, prisons, and military training camps so aptly described by Irving Goffman as “total institutions.” Carol Rosen shows how the setting in these plays tends to engulf and then to exclude the audience, turning an encompassing stage structure—a closed, controlling, absolute system—into a protagonist that overwhelms the characters. In discussions ranging from Harold Pinter’s The Hothouse to Samuel Beckett’s Endgame, she further maintains that the impasse of characters in reductive environments supplies a unifying image for post–World War II drama in general. This state of impasse pervades contemporary drama. Everyday activities and attempts to endure life in a parenthesis are vacated of traditional social or moral meaning onstage. The pain of this kind of survival, spatially fixed, is at the heart of Endgame, for example, an extreme instance of this mode of drama at the edge of existence. In plays such as Peter Nichols’s The National Health, Peter Weiss’s Marat/Sade, Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s The Physicists, David Storey’s Home, Brendan Behan’s The Quare Fellow, Jean Genet’s Deathwatch, and David Rabe’s The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel, the splintered self, like the divided society, strives to endure against enormous, codified odds. Even in plays not depicting the rigidity of institutions, the contemporary dramatic mode is finally characterized by sparse, introspective action in a closed system—an onstage model of a world gone awry, a world at an impasse.

Translating Classical Plays is a selection of edited papers by J. Michael Walton published and delivered between 1997 and 2014. Of the four sections, each with a new introduction, the first two cover the history of translating classical drama into English and specific issues relating to translation for stage performance. The latter two are concerned with the three Greek tragedians, and the Greek and Roman writers of old and new comedy, ending with the hitherto unpublished text of a Platform Lecture given at the National Theatre in London comparing the plays of Plautus with Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. The volume is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in staging or translating classical drama.

Plays By W S Gilbert written by George Rowell 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 1982-03-04 with Literary Collections categories.
This edition includes four plays and one libretto, covering more than twenty years of the dramatist's career: The Palace of Truth (1870), Sweethearts (1874), Princess Toto (1876), Engaged (1877) and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (1891). The collection demonstrates that Gilbert was an original dramatist in his own right. The sophisticated irony of his plays challenged the conventions of the Victorian burlesque and sentimental comedy by demanding, and receiving, an intelligent response from the audience. George Rowell's useful and thorough introduction, which presents the theatrical background to Gilbert's development, also shows the dramatist's influence on Pinero, Wilde and Shaw. Gilbert's style combines a technique rarely realistic and stretching to fantasy with a tone apparently cynical and in fact deeply pessimistic. This odd pairing of fantasy and fatalism was recognized by his own and later generations as 'Gilbertian' and the term has been widely applied even outside the theatre.
