The Exhibition Drama - Comprising Drama Comedy and Farce Together with Dramatic and Musical Entertainments

George M. Baker

Beschreibung

In "The Exhibition Drama," George M. Baker expertly navigates the vibrant interplay between art and performance, presenting an incisive exploration of the theatrical forms that emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Employing a blend of critical analysis and vivid examples, Baker scrutinizes how exhibitions influenced dramatic narratives, shaping both structure and content in stagecraft. His literary style is characterized by a meticulous approach, rich in detail, making the sometimes abstract connections between visual art and theater accessible to scholarly and general audiences alike. Through a thorough examination of various works and their contexts, he illuminates the transformation of dramatic literature within the broader cultural milieu of the period. George M. Baker, a respected scholar with a robust background in theater studies and art history, draws upon his extensive knowledge of cultural movements to illuminate the often-overlooked intersections between different artistic disciplines. His academic pursuits and personal passions converge in this work, reflecting his deep appreciation for the dynamic relationship between visual arts and theatrical performance. Baker'Äôs previous work has established him as a leading voice in the field, offering unique insights that inspire further dialogue among practitioners and theorists. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Exhibition Drama" to anyone interested in the evolution of theater, cultural studies, or the arts in general. Baker'Äôs scholarship not only enriches our understanding of drama as a complex art form but also invites readers to reconsider the role of visual exhibitions as vital contributors to theatrical innovation. This book is an essential read for scholars, artists, and avid theatergoers alike, promising a fresh perspective on familiar narratives.

Mr Punch

The Trial of Ruth Ellis: A Mr Punch True Crime Drama 
 
“Mr Punch is going from strength to strength, continuing their good run of classy audio… Jemma Redgrave gives a spirited performance… with a high calibre cast”  Talking Business 
 
In the annals of British justice, there exists a story that has stood the test of time, a tale of passion, despair, and a fateful twist of destiny. In the turbulent summer of 1955, the nation held its collective breath as Ruth Ellis, a mother of two, faced conviction for the calculated murder of her unfaithful lover, David Blakely. 
 
This is the gripping true story of a woman on the edge. 
 
Drawing exclusively from the original trial transcripts, eyewitness testimonies and contemporary reports, we invite you to join the jury at the Old Bailey tasked with unravelling the truth behind the events leading up to that fatal Easter Sunday when Mrs Ellis fired six fatal shots, shattering the calm of Hampstead and sealing her place in history as the last woman to be hanged in Britain. 
 
Almost seven decades since her execution, Ruth Ellis's story still captivates and haunts. Who was this former model and nightclub hostess who dared to venture into the elite world of 1950s London? Why did she endure an abusive liaison with the charismatic yet dangerous racing driver David Blakely? What compelled her to take the life of the man she loved? 
 
Starring JEMMA REDGRAVE as Ruth Ellis with Terence Edmond, David Goodland, Mark Hadfield, Jenny Howe, Jeffrey Segal, Robin Welch, Andrew Wincott and full supporting cast 
 
Also available as part of the Great British Trials Box Set, a fascinating eight-hour collection of true crime dramas, featuring the trials of Ruth Ellis, Dr Crippen, Timothy Evans & John Reginald Halliday Christie.

Stuff and Nonsense - Poems by...

Lewis Carroll

Alexander Woollcott called Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, "the man who wrote the most enchanting nonsense in the English language." Besides his many stories, Lewis Carroll wrote nonsensical poems. Eleven of his poems appear here, the most famous of which being Jabberwocky, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and The Hunting of the Snark. Narrator Griffin Rogers recorded Jabberwocky as a Christmas present for his son before spending the next several years recording additional nonsense whenever he was able to find an unlocked window and sneak into a recording studio. (If that sounds like a lot of nonsense to you, you will love this audiobook - and so will your children.)
