Doyle J: Opening Doors

Opening Doors

Reinventing the Broadway Musical

Elements in Musical Theatre

This Element discusses Budapest from the 1920s until 1968. The field of entertainment began to be considered a cultural product that had to adhere to new political requirements. By 1968, the revue's cultural relevance had become almost insignificant with the appearance of new genres of entertainment.

From Cosmopolitan Night-Clubs to Stalinist Dogma

The Revue in Twentieth-Century Budapest

Charlie Chaplin rose from the hard streets of Edwardian London to worldwide fame. But his work and outlook were always shaped by the world he came from, a place of cheap entertainments and the threat of the workhouse, radical politics and desperate poverty. Framed through the life of this iconic success story, acclaimed historian Jacqueline Riding reveals working-class London at the turn of the twentieth century. Breathing life into forgotten stories of mothers and sons, labourers and actors, vagrants and sex workers, of suffering, survival and success against the odds, this compelling social history paints a striking portrait of a vanished city.

Working-Class Lives in Charlie Chaplin’s London, 1843-1913

Hard Streets

Joss Marsh's stirring book traces the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, from its origins in Dickens's celebrity, through Dickens impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema and his enmeshment in the complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy - from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.

As Joss Marsh observes in her stirring book on Dickens and cinema, Dickens was the first mass-mediated photographic celebrity of the modern era, more intimately "familiar" than any person in Britain besides the royal family. Suggesting Dickens's celebrity, as much as his work, contributed to the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, Marsh begins with  J. J. E. Mayall's famous celebrity portraits to trace Dickens's impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema. At the same time, Marsh uncovers a larger issue: to understand Dickens's place in cinema is to understand his enmeshment in the whole complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy-from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.  Each of the six chapters unfolds a century-long cultural story that maps the Dickensian points of inspiration in the history of cinema. Marsh's cinematic geography of Dickensland transports the reader from Dickens's experiences with the early-Victorian portraitist's camera to Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder's remake of Great Expectations as a satire on the vampiric celebrity "celluloid self"; from actor-manager Martin-Harvey's 1899 manufacture of the "cast-iron" Victorian stage play to Dirk Bogarde's 1958 inheritance of the sacrificial gay role of Sydney Carton; from Charley Dickens Jnr.'s attempt to cash in on his father's knowledge of London to the history of production design as a medium of historical tourism and virtual experience; from Dickens's "impersonation" of Fagin, anti-Semitic and inherently theatrical, to the transformations of "the Jew" by Chaplin and David Lean and his musical apotheosis as magician and Pied Piper; from Dickens's 1868 return, in his last public reading, to the murder of Nancy to the contemporary slasher movie; and finally from the time travel enabled by the magic lantern's "dissolving views" through the role of Dickens's lantern-inspired Christmas tales of the 1840s in the lantern's development of pre-cinematic visual storytelling.  Informed by extensive archival research, deftly written, and beautifully illustrated, Joss Marsh's book shows film's fascination with Dickens was the trace of a persisting desire”fueled by decades of Dickensian impersonation and enabled by the medium's capacity to make still images live”to bring back the most extraordinary literary artist and personality of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries”to make Dickens live again.

Multi-Media 'Boz' and the Culture of Celebrity

Starring Charles Dickens

Laura Hope and Philippa Kelly make use of first-hand interviews with directors, actors, designers, and critics, as well as their own experiences in the theatre, to open up feminist dramaturgy as a field of enquiry and performance possibility. Resisting dogma, the authors cast a critical eye on past and present practices as they argue for the feminist dramaturg's role in shaping a theatre company's sense of its production potential.

In their lively invocation of a feminist dramaturgy that can lead to innovative and challenging directions in modern theatre-making, Laura Hope and Philippa Kelly make use of first-hand interviews with directors, actors, designers, and critics, as well as their own experiences in the theatre, to open up feminist dramaturgy as a field of enquiry and performance possibility.   The authors begin by discussing what happens when a dramaturg's performance strategies are vastly different from what a director envisions. This discussion moves naturally to Hope and Kelly's analysis of canonical plays they hope to re-think in terms of gender at the same time that they resist the implication that a feminist perspective is a prescription for a political and social agenda. Casting a critical eye on "mainstream" approaches to classical plays, the authors revisit casting practices, editing philosophies, and directorial concepts that provide thin, stereotypical depictions of male and female characters, arguing for closer textual and cultural analyses of misguided ventures such as the Lysistrata Project. Their commentary on appeals to audience involvement highlights the difficulty of challenging audience preconceptions and the possibilities for expanding audience reception, while the counterproductive rigidity with which organizations like the Beckett estate resist new  approaches to theatrical production are exposed in a discussion of feminist dramaturgy's potential to reinvigorate a play like Waiting for Godot. Adventures in Dramaturgy concludes with the authors' personal journey to forge new directions within a specific theatre company and in the professional world at large.

The Road Less Traveled

Adventures in Feminist Dramaturgy

From seminal actor Lucian Msamati comes a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of working on a major production of one of the most iconic plays ever written - Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.

Adaptation in Musical Theatre examines adaptation as inherent to musical theatre, an art form with an established history of recycling existing texts, through a concise overview of the concept and several contemporary case studies that illustrate this relationship. 

Adaptations are everywhere in popular culture, wherein most texts have been experienced elsewhere in some form. Adaptation in Musical Theatre focuses on the inherent relationship between adaptation and musical theatre, an art form in which most musicals are adaptations of existing texts. Despite a shift in production model in recent decades, where many musicals are now based on internationally known texts from conglomerates like Disney, adding song and dance to an existing work is a long-established trend has provided a plethora of different structural and stylistic choices across the musical theatre canon. 

Through multiple contemporary case studies, this book examines the various forms of adaptation in musical theatre, with each case study offering a different approach to adapting existing work. From Les Misérables to Wicked, by way of Legally Blonde and Fun Home, this book proposes that despite adaptations often being denigrated by critics as lazy and safe-bet choices for producers, the resulting musicals are incredibly diverse and crafted in a multitude of ways. Adaptations are not bland and unchallenging for audiences, as some detractors have described them, but the lifeblood of musical theatre past and present.

Published in Methuen Drama's Topics in Musical Theatre series, this book offers students a concise and readable study of a key form within musical theatre studies using relevant and contemporary case studies.
