Lonsdale Plays One Book Description

by Frederick Lonsdale, Lonsdale Plays One Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Lonsdale Plays One books, Lonsdale's first successful comedy, and the one that helped establish him as a dramatist was Aren't We All? (1923). It set the tone and subject matter for many plays to come; epigrammatic wit, irony and neatly constructed near-farcical situations, dealing with polite manners and modern marriage (in this case, adultery). The Last of Mrs Cheyney (1926), in which the mistress of a gang of burglar-servants gives up her criminal career to marry into aristocracy, is probably the best known of Lonsdale's 15 plays. In On Approval (1926), an insufferable wealthy middle-aged widow invites a man up to her remote house in Scotland 'on approval' - to see if a marital match is possible. But the man is not alone and, snowed in, they are forced to confront the undesirability of the match. Canaries Sometimes Sing (1929) has an easygoing playwright, bored with his silly, socially ambitious wife, falling in love with the wife of a visiting friend. The abrupt ending completes an uncompromising attack on British hypocrisy.

De Wet Plays One Book Description

by Reza de Wet, De Wet Plays One Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download De Wet Plays One books, The three plays Missing, Crossing and Miracle are folkloric and ostensibly native pieces of Afrikaner storytelling. All plays deal with the liberation of a character from an oppressive, matriarchal order and as such are eloquent and haunting expressions of the current generation of Afrikaner seeking to free itself from the Calvinist manacles of traditional Afrikanerdom.

Inua Ellams Plays One Book Description

by Inua Ellams, Inua Ellams Plays One Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Inua Ellams Plays One books, Inua Ellams has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices in British and international theatre. Collected together for the first time are four of Ellams’ acclaimed plays, including The 14th Tale, Untitled, Black T-Shirt Collection and Knight Watch. ‘A sharp reminder of the power of language and rhythm’ The Scotsman on The 14th Tale ‘Ellams’s evocative writing conjures a Nigeria where myth and magic sit casually alongside everyday life.’ The Guardian on Untitled ‘Ellams’ verse brims with magical realism... His delivery is charming and natural, and he is able to spin intricate, rhythmic webs of words with apparent ease. 45 minutes of allowing Inua Ellams to wrap his words around you is far from a painful experience. What is clear is that Ellams’ writing and performance, not to mention his Fringe First award, show that he has definite potential.’ What’s On Stage on Knight Watch ‘Full of arresting images that create a hybrid of lyrical ecstasy and cinematic effects... a fluent, intense 70-minute confection and a tinglingly resonant celebration of the art of solo performance.’ Evening Standard on Black T-Shirt Collection
