Bristol at Play
Author: Kathleen Barker
Publisher: Bradford-on-Avon : Moonraker Press
ISBN:
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
"The history of popular entertainment in a large and ancient city such as Bristol is the story of changing tastes and social attitudes, of colourful personalities, and frequently of financial difficulties. Miss Marker's entertaining and authoritative book begins with St. James's Fair in the fifteenth century (one of the most important trade fairs in Britain) and brings us up to the change of Director at the Bristol Old Vic in the autumn of 1975. Two of Shakespeare's great contemporaries—Edward Alleyn and Richard Burbage—visited Bristol; Sarah Siddons, Macready and Ellen Terry all played in the city; O'Toole was an early member when the Arts council sponsored Old Vic Company at the Theatre royal shortly after the war, thus establishing an important and influential centre of drama in the West Country. Bristol at Play is a fascinating story not only of the development of the 'legitimate theatre' but also of the fairs, 'equestrian spectacles', circuses, travelling showmen (with freaks like 'the Corsican Fairy' and 'the learned Pig'), Pantomime, Music Hall and the Cinema. The variety between ten wooden-legged men; Boldin walked the tight-rope at the Zoo; Dickens gave his celebrated readings at the Victoria rooms; Buffalo Bill staged his 'Wild West' show on a site in Gloucester Road..."-Publisher.

Arguments for a Theatre
Author: Howard Barker
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 9780719039980
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Howard Barker, author of over thirty plays, has long been an implacable foe of the liberal British establishment, and champion of radical theatre world-wide. His best-known plays include The Castle, Scenes from an Execution and The Possibilities. All of his plays are emotionally highly charged, intellectually stimulating and far removed from the theatrical conventions of what he terms 'the Establishment Theatre'. These fragments, essays, thoughts and poems on the nature of theatre likewise reject the constraints of 'objective' academic theatre criticism. They explore the collision (and collusion) of intellect and artistry in the creative act. This book is more than a collection of essays: it is a cultural manifesto for Barker's own 'Theatre of Catastrophe'.
