    Extractions: D uring the 1920s, a wave of postwar ebullience exploded into the Jazz Age, bringing a new and unprecedented accent on youth and a generation that cast off the vestiges of Victorian culture and embraced new trends in art, music, dance, poetry, fiction, and drama. The way was open for an actor who could recapture and redefine the glamour, skill, and galvanizing presence of an earlier day. John Barrymore was such an actor, and his Richard III and Hamlet, first seen in New York during the 1919-20 and 1922-23 seasons, stand as high water marks of twentieth century Shakespearean interpretation. Many conventions of modern practice can be traced to Barrymore's performances: he was the first actor to bring the vocal and physical manner of a postwar gentleman to Shakespeare's tragic protagonists and was the first to reinterpret time-honored roles in light of Freudian psychology. His dynamic portrayals and the groundbreaking innovations of his production team, the director Arthur Hopkins and the designer Robert Edmond Jones, helped to revitalize Shakespearean acting and production in America and Great Britain and changed the direction of subsequent revivals.

    Extractions: Before Shakespeare¹s time and during his boyhood, troupes of actors performed wherever they could ­ in halls, courts, courtyards, and any other open spaces available. However, in 1574, when Shakespeare was ten years old, the Common Council passed a law requiring plays and theaters in London to be licensed. In 1576, actor and future Lord Chamberlain's Man, James Burbage, built the first permanent theater, called "The Theatre", outside London city walls. After this many more theaters were established, including the Globe Theatre, which was where most of Shakespeare's plays premiered. Performances took place during the day, using natural light from the open center of the theater. Since there could be no dramatic lighting and there was very little scenery or props, audiences relied on the actors' lines and stage directions to supply the time of day and year, the weather, location, and mood of the scenes. Shakespeare's plays masterfully supply this information . For example, in Hamlet the audience learns within the first twenty lines of dialogue where the scene takes place ("Have you had quiet guard?"), what time of day it is ("'Tis now strook twelf"), what the weather is like ("'Tis bitter cold"), and what mood the characters are in ("and I am sick at heart"). One important difference between plays written in Shakespeare's time and those written today is that Elizabethan plays were published after their performances, sometimes even after their authors' deaths, and were in many ways a record of what happened on stage during these performances rather than directions for what should happen. Actors were allowed to suggest changes to scenes and dialogue and had much more freedom with their parts than actors today. Shakespeare's plays are no exception. In Hamlet, for instance, much of the plot revolves around the fact that Hamlet writes his own scene to be added to a play in order to ensnare his murderous father.

Helena Faucit acted with Macready at Covent Garden and Drury Lane, and toured with him internationally. Her letter on Ophelia offers a perceptive and lively interpretation of Ophelia's role within the play - but her digressions provide just as much interest. We get a glimpse of her childhood, a chance to lurk backstage during one of Macready's international tours, and can watch a Victorian actress developing her character for performance. ... published in her book "Shakspeare's Heroines"; originally known as "Characteristics of Women, Moral, Poetical and Historical" (1832). This was the very first book-length examination of Shakespeare's female characters, and can be said to have been the origin of all subsequent study of Shakespeare's women as a topic in themselves.

Bibliography of Sources for Further Study John Shakespeare was elected alderman and high baliff of Stratford in 1568, which has led scholars to believe that Shakespeare himself was educated in a grammar school as a child - his knowledge of Latin and classical Greek literature certainly correspond to that assumption. Nicholas Rowe, who wrote the first biography of the dramatist in 1709, mentions that John Shakespeare placed William "for some time in a free school". John would have been able to enjoy the absence of tuition for William as a benefit of his position in Stratford. The school in Stratford was of very good quality, better than Eton at the time. More support for this assertion comes from Shakespeare himself: in The Merry Wives of Windsor , he re-enacts a school-room scene, right down to the learning of Latin by memorization.

    Extractions: Icon Books The concept of the Top 10 is becoming increasingly common and has now spread far wider than Top of the Pops Now, John O'Connor, a lecturer and writer, has chosen a list of the ten most popular characters created by William Shakespeare and turned them into a fascinating and very entertaining book. The approach that the book takes can perhaps be summarised by the author's comment on by Joe Colarco. "For me, versions like this so often unlock new meanings, or refreshingly express known ones, in ways that more traditional and 'faithful' renditions by major established companies - somewhat depressingly - don't get anywhere near". The book can be slightly unbalanced as O'Connor follows his interests and enthusiasms wherever they may lead. His main aim is to pursue the fortunes of his chosen fictional heroes through the 400 years since the life of the playwright who created them.

The endeavor, presented in repertory, is theatrically rare, exciting and demanding. From a fan's perspective, it's a chance to soak up seldom-performed Shakespeare works. From an actor's perch, it's an opportunity to flex and shine, since each play employs separate casts, with one exception (Mid-Pacific Institute teacher Linda Johnson is in two plays).

    Extractions: January 29, 2004 Purdue Theatre will present William Shakespeare's tragic masterpiece "King Lear" from Feb. 20-28 in Stewart Center's Loeb Playhouse. Guest artist Peter Forster from Chicago will direct the production, which features costumes by guest designer Daryl Stone from New York City. Widely hailed as Shakespeare's crowning artistic achievement, "King Lear" is a tale of loss and despair. The scenes in which a mad Lear rages against his deceitful daughters and nature itself are among the finest examples of tragic lyricism in the English language. "'King Lear,' mighty and devastating, tells a story about losing everything," says Forster. "It begins shockingly: the king suddenly dismembers his kingdom. He also, just as suddenly, shatters his family. It is about mistakes, tragic mistakes with enormous consequence, which can never be taken back. And in the very moment of thinking that nothing worse can happen, something worse happens. In the very moment of thinking that no more can be lost, more is lost." A Chicago-based agent and freelance director, Forster is the former resident director of Buffalo Theatre Ensemble in Glen Elyn, Ill., and the founder and former artistic director of Off Limits Theatre Company in London. His productions of "The Fancy Man" and "Sea Marks" were both nominated for Jeff Awards for excellence in Chicago Theatre. He holds a bachelor's degree in English literature and history from Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, a master's in English literature from the University of Illinois and a diploma in directing from The Drama Studio in London.

The inaugural performance of "Romeo and Juliet" kicked off with the smell of fresh paint lingering in the wooden, open-air theater, which was completed in just under four months. Some last-minute hammering was heard minutes before the play started. "This is a miracle," said director Gigi Proietti as he gestured toward the circular galleries packed with an eager crowd. Proietti's production was modern and dynamic, with costumes including knee-pads and trainers as well as ruffs, capes and codpieces, and a soundtrack that ranged from a techno beat to classical music. The audience responded with cheers in between scenes, especially the younger crowd in the standing-only pit.
