The Magnificent Cuckold
Author: Fernand Crommelynck
Publisher: Roof Books
ISBN: 9781931824200
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
Drama. Opening in Paris in 1920, Fernand Crommelynck's THE MAGNIFICENT CUCKOLD was instantly acclaimed masterpiece and went on to greater renown in a legendary 1922 Moscow production, directed by Vsevolod Meyerhold. It is a farce unusual for its naturalism and a naturalist play unusual for its rowdy comedic action. Now in a new and accurate and actable translation by Ben Sonnenberg and Amiel Melnick. It centers on the marriage of Bruno and Stella and shows how their marriage falls apart. It a little resembles such great tragi-comedies as Strindberg's Dance of Death, Pirandello's Henry IV and America's own A Streetcar Named Desire.

The Crommelynck Mystery
Author: Alain Piette
Publisher: Susquehanna University Press
ISBN: 9781575910031
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
In this book, the authors examine the works of Fernand Crommelynck (1886-1970), whose international reputation was established in 1922, when his most important and most popular play, The Magnanimous Cuckold, was presented in Moscow. Torn between the extremes of laughter and sorrow, frequently violent and visionary, Crommelynck's work is typically Flemish (though written in French), not least in its preoccupation with sin. Pain is always present in his plays, the pain felt by characters living in a world where happiness is destroyed by irrationalism, self-deception, and obsession. Crommelynck's plays humorously show us how human behavior can be dominated by extreme expressions of emotion or desire. The mixture of buffoonery and tragedy characteristic of his theater extends also to his prose style, which presents the most outrageous or gross situations in a language of beautifully sensuous imagery.

Pages : 436
Book Description
He typically starts out from a realistic situation, then introduces a twist in the psyche of the main character that launches the rest of the action - for example, in The Magnanimous Cuckold a suspected glimmer of lust in Petrus's eye suffices to incite Bruno and to subjugate the other figures in the play to his expression of folly - and the realistic is soon overtaken by the obsessional and finally the absurd.

Moscow Performances
Author: John Freedman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135298920
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
The reviews and features collected in John Freedman's Moscow Performances bring to life the diversity, energy, and imagination of Russian theater as few books have done before. While focusing on the work of Moscow's leading directors - Pyotr Fomenko, Kama Ginkas, Valery Fokin, Anatoly Vasilyev, Konstantin Raikin, Sergei Zhenovach, Yury Lyubimov, and many others - also included in its review are key productions by many of the renowned guests who bring their art to the Russian capital. Essays on St. Petersburg's Lev Dodin (of the Maly Drama Theatre), Lithuania's Eimuntas Nekrosius, Georgia's Robert Sturua, and Germany's Peter Stein confirm that Moscow's position as a "theatrical mecca" has not diminished since Anatoly Lunacharsky coined the phrase in the 1920s. In addition to recording Freedman's immediate and opinionated responses to Moscow stage developments in the 1990s, Moscow Performances contains a wealth of information about the struggles and occasional triumphs of a new generation of talented but as yet unknown playwrights, the successes of the best actors, and the social and financial trends which have had such an impact on Russian theatre in the post-Soviet period.
