From 1935 to 1939, the Federal Theatre Project staged over a thousand productions in 29 states that were seen by thirty million (or nearly one in four) Americans, two thirds of whom had never seen a play before. At its helm was an unassuming theater professor, Hallie Flanagan. It employed, at its peak, over twelve thousand struggling artists, some of whom, like Orson Welles and Arthur Miller, would soon be famous, but most of whom were just ordinary people eager to work again at their craft. The Playbook takes us through some of its most remarkable productions.

L’Arlésienne, chef-d’œuvre théâtral d’Alphonse Daudet, plonge au cœur des émotions humaines, explorant les thèmes intemporels de l’amour, de la passion et des tourments de l’âme. Le personnage énigmatique de l’Arlésienne devient le centre névralgique du drame, sa présence absente, mais ressentie dans l’esprit des protagonistes, nourrit le mystère qui entoure cette femme insaisissable.

Среди книг западной беллетристики, изображающих жизнь театральных подмостков, Актриса - классическое произведение, может быть, лучшее, что написано в этой области. Эдмон де Гонкур дал в Актрисе своеобразное сочетание романа и исследования, сплетающихся, дополняющих друг друга и освещающих судьбу и творчество главной героини произведения, Жюльетты Фостэн, великой актрисы, вылепленной Гонкуром наподобие знаменитых трагических артисток французской сцены.

Friedrich Schiller, frisches Mitglied der "Deutschen Gesellschaft", einer Vereinigung, die sich um die deutsche Sprache bemühte, wollte sich 1784 um die Stelle des Sekretärs der Gesellschaft bewerben. Er hielt bei seiner Bewerbung eben diese Rede über die "Schaubühne als moralische Anstalt." Seiner Meinung nach diente die Bühne als eine moralische Anstalt, eine Schule praktischer Weisheit, als gesellschaftspolitische Anstalt, als Instrument der Aufklärung und nicht zuletzt als ästhetische Bildungsanstalt.

From its debut in 1962, Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was a wild success and a cultural lightning rod. The play transpires over one long, boozy night, laying bare the lies, compromises, and scalding love that have sustained a middle-aged couple through decades of marriage. It scandalized critics but magnetized audiences. Across 644 sold-out Broadway performances, the drama demolished the wall between what could and couldn’t be said on the American stage and marked a definitive end to the I Love Lucy 1950s.

Only one performance style has dominated the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: "Method acting." The first reception-based analysis of film acting, Imagining the Method investigates how popular understandings of the so-called Method—what its author Justin Rawlins calls "methodness"—created an exclusive brand for white, male actors while associating such actors with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book maps the forces giving shape to methodness and policing its boundaries.

August Wilson wrote a series of ten plays celebrating African American life in the 20th century, one play for each decade. No other American playwright has completed such an ambitious oeuvre. Two of the plays became successful films, Fences, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis; and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman. Fences and The Piano Lesson won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama; Fences won the Tony Award for Best Play, and years after Wilson’s death in 2005, Jitney earned a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.

Chi si ritira dal mondo, cosiddetto sociale, è il soggetto di questo bozzetto drammatico, dal titolo “Assente”. Tratta la vita di un individuo che, vicino all'età di venticinque anni, si rende conto del "vuoto" che la vita gli sta proponendo in maniera alquanto ingiustificata. È questa nuova condizione vitale che egli non sa più gestire, e che lo rende "distaccato" da tutto quello che prima lo attirava. L'antica Illusione (di quando aveva mille speranze, mille certezze, mille sogni) cede ora il posto ad una Delusione smisurata quanto la sua disperata nostalgia verso un Tempo andato e che non riesce più a ritrovare.

Unlike conventional how-to manuals that merely scratch the surface, The Story of The Story delves into the ethos of storytelling. It emphasizes that, just as reading a jumbo jet manual does not prepare one to fly, reading about storytelling mechanics does not prepare one to write. Something more is needed.

You know his work—Show Boat, Oklahoma!, Carousel, The King and I. But you don't really know Oscar Hammerstein II, the man who, more than anyone else, invented the American musical. Among the most commercially successful artists of his time, he was a fighter for social justice who constantly prodded his audiences to be better than they were.
