Taylor & Francis Ltd JB Priestley Routledge Modern and Contemporary
Book SynopsisJ. B. Priestley is the first book to provide a detailed and up to date analysis of the enormous contribution made by this playwright, novelist, journalist and critic to twentieth century British theatre. Priestley was often criticised for being either too populist or too experimental and this study unpicks the contradictions of a playwright and theatre theorist popular with audiences but too often dismissed by critics; describing and analysing in detail not only his plays but also their specific historical and contemporary productions.Using a combination of archive, review and critical materials, the book re-locates Priestley as a theatre theorist of substance as well as a playwright who challenged theatre conventions and assumptions about audience expectations, at a time when theatre was considered both conservative and lacking in innovation. Table of ContentsSection I: Life, Politics and Theory Chapter 1: Life Career and Politics Chapter 2: The Function and Practice of Theatre: visions, theories and critical responses Section II: Key Plays Chapter 3: The Family, Gender and Sexual Relations Chapter 4: Time and the Time Plays Chapter 5: Work and Visions of Dystopia/Utopia Section III: Key Plays/Productions Chapter 6: The Good Companions Chapter 7: An Inspector Calls Chapter 8: Johnson Over Jordan

Taylor & Francis How to do Shakespeare
Book Synopsis'Adrian Noble vigorously highlights the extraordinary rhythmic, linguistic patterns Shakespeare gives the speaker. Any actor will find this book invaluable. For any student of Shakespeare it should be essential.' (From the Foreword by Ralph Fiennes)'How can I bring the text alive, make it vivid, how do I make people hear it for the first time? How can I enter into that world and not feel a stranger. How can I not feel clumsy and inept? ... How can I speak it without sounding artificial or actory? In other words, how can I make it real ...?'Adrian Noble has worked on Shakespeare with everyone from oscar-nominated actors to groups of schoolchildren. Here he draws on several decades of top-level directing experience to shed new light on how to bring some of theatreâs seminal texts to life.He shows you how to approach the perennial issues of performing Shakespeare, including: wordplay â using colour and playing plain, wit and comedy, making language muscTrade Review'Noble, who has worked with Kenneth Branagh and Ralph Fiennes, achieves a winning mix of the theoretical and the practical' - WhatsOnStage.com Table of ContentsPart 1 - Principles 1.
