62. Theatre Mirror Reviews - The Glass Menagerie especially in PEG O’ MY HEART by her husband J. Hartley Manners (her studiorecording, made late in life, reveals a stillgirlish timbre); http://www.theatermirror.com/CRglasslyric.htm

THE THEATER MIRROR, New England’s LIVE Theater Guide MARQUEE USHER SEATS INTERMISSION ... CURTAIN "What Happened in Boston, Willie" Reviews of Current Productions "THE GLASS MENAGERIE" by Tennessee Williams directed by Eric C. Engel Amanda Nancy E. Carroll Tom Vincent Ernest Siders Laura Emily Sophia Knapp Jim Lewis Wheeler The New York theatre scene is so rich, so diverse, that it is possible to attend several plays a week for a year and never see the same actor, twice. Boston is more communal - the city as repertory company - and with regular theatergoing one can, in time, evaluate many of her artists as artists. In the past I have scribbled that Mr. “A” needs a heartbeat, Ms. “B” must reclaim her natural sunshine, etc. but now I focus on Nancy E. Carroll and Vincent Ernest Siders, two acclaimed actors who have taken on Amanda and Tom, mother and son, in Tennessee Williams’ THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Lyric Stage. Emily Knapp is a fascinating Laura, sturdy and unsentimental, a young woman who has watched life pass her by but hasn’t missed a trick though I question Ms. Knapp’s walking on her right ankle with her foot turned inward to suggest Laura’s handicap - I always assumed since Laura once wore a brace that her leg diminished in time, causing her to limp; here, Jim seems to be dancing with a polio victim. Though his physique is hardly that of a former athlete, Lewis Wheeler is at the right time and place in his career to play a conventional Gentleman Caller: both are good-looking, friendly and full of ambition.

IU Events Calendar Coward’s ‘Hay Fever’ at IPFW Meet the Fockers of the 1920s Costume graphics courtesy of costume designer Thomas Bernard The Bliss family, from the outrageously quirky comedy Hay Fever , by Noel Coward, has it all over the Fockers. Inspired by a weekend that Coward spent with eccentric actress Laurette Taylor and her playwright husband J. Hartley Manners, he wrote Hay Fever , about a weekend visit gone bad, in three days in 1924; it just poured out of him. And it was an instant, unqualified hit. Hay Fever epitomizes the sophisticated wit of the era between the two world wars. The “Roaring 20s” was a time when society allowed itself to relax, enjoy indulgences and gleefully tout its eccentricities. The chaotic Bliss family is no exception. Directed by Craig Humphrey, Hay Fever is set in the hall of the Bliss family home. The eccentric Blisses are Judith, a recently retired stage-actress played by Jane Rebekah Frazier; David, a self-absorbed novelist played by Brian Ernsberger; and their two equally unconventional children. They live in a world where reality slides all too easily into fiction. Their tortured weekend guests are alternately amused, ignored, humiliated and, ultimately, abandoned. One would rather spend the weekend with the MacBeths than with the Bliss children, whose un-house trained weirdness is expertly conveyed by Matthew Pedersen as Simon and Jessica Butler as Sorel.

On this page: Wikipedia Best of Web Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping The Glass Menagerie Wikipedia The Glass Menagerie The Glass Menagerie is a play by Tennessee Williams . The play premiered in Chicago on December 26 , and in won the prestigious New York Drama Critics Circle Award The Glass Menagerie was Williams' first highly successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly-regarded playwrights. Spoiler warning Plot or ending details follow. Synopsis The Glass Menagerie The play is set in St. Louis in 1937, and deals with the troubled relationship between an aging mother, Amanda Wingfield, and her painfully shy daughter Laura, as told by the son and brother, Tom, who is supposedly recalling events from his memory. Biographical themes in the play Some critics have thought that Tom is a homosexual (just as Williams was). Tom is a writer working a menial job in a shoe factory. While he works at this factory, Tom actually writes poetry. Williams' real name was Thomas, so there is clearly a connection between Tom in the play and Williams himself. Jim O'Connor, Laura's love interest, may reflect the type of popular, charismatic character that Williams wishes he could have been. Women flock to O'Connor; Williams has not always been so loved. The end of the play is tragic: O'Connor leads Laura on with a kiss but lets her down shortly afterwards with the news that he is engaged to another woman. Tom, the family's sole provider, leaves home to be a sailor and fulfill his want for adventure. He fulfills it, much as Williams finally fulfilled his dream of being a successful writer.

Inspired by a weekend that Noel Coward spent with eccentric actress Laurette Taylor and her playwright husband J. Hartley Manners, he wrote Hay Fever , about a weekend visit-gone-bad, in only three short days in 1924. It just poured out of him. And it was an instant, unqualified hit! Cleverly constructed, unendingly witty and slightly cynical, Hay Fever epitomizes the sophisticated wit of the era between the two World Wars.

March 8, 1984 First performance at The Phoenix Theatre, London, April, 12. 1984 Act One It is 1913 at Simla Lodge in Sussex and the Chichesters are hopelessly in debt. However, today marks the reading of the will of a close relative. Mrs. Chichester, her son, Alaric, and daughter, Ethel, expect to receive a substantial sum. The entire household is buzzing in anticipation of a recovery to a grand style of living in just "A Matter Of Minutes". Meanwhile, Ethel meets with her married lover, Christian Brent, who claims, once again, that he is ready to leave his wife. He attempts to entice her while she longs for a finer man. The kitchen is alive with preparations for the new guest and Peg and her dog Micky enter unnoticed. She and Henry ("Buttons") and Dora (the housemaid) meet and hit it off instantly as they are "Three Of a Kind". Bennett, the parlour-maid, realising the new girl is Mrs. Chichester's niece, ushers her to the family who are shocked by her appearance. Mrs. Chichester orders that the clothes that Peg is wearing be disposed of and that they should buy a whole new wardrobe. Peg protests that she already has "Pretty Dresses".

News The Singers The Songs The Recordings ... Site Map John Watt – From the Shores of the Forth Published in The Living Tradition. John Watt is a totally unique character and is arguably Fife’s foremost contemporary chronicler in song. His songs have been enjoyed by many over the years but remain fresh and new each time they are aired. They were written over a period of nearly 40 years although the timescale covered in the subject matter is much longer than that. Some of his songs have entered the tradition – Jimmy McBeath was recorded by an American folklorist singing ‘Pittenweem Jo’, one of John’s songs, claiming it to be "an auld sang I learned in Fife". That mistake has been repeated many times. John Watt is a native of Dunfermline, Fife, and now lives in Milnathort. He has been involved in the Scottish folksong movement for over thirty years. A past Chairman of The Traditional Music and Song Association of Scotland, he has presented numerous documentaries on radio, including ‘Fife Connection’, ‘Howe of Fife Connection’ and ‘The Fifty-Fifty Ball’. He has also presented ‘Celtic Horizons’ for BBC radio and ‘Fife’s Got Everything’ for the Odyssey series produced by Billy Kay. He has lectured for the Association of Scottish Literary Studies on Fife Poets and Song-writers, tutored for The Workers Educational Association in Creative Writing and Musical Appreciation and is Chairman of the Milnathort based Love and Liberty Theatre Company.

NEWSLETTER FOR THE JIM CULLUM JAZZ BAND AND RIVERWALK, LIVE FROM THE LANDING PUBLIC RADIO SERIES May 2002 A LONG WAY, BABY! by Dick Hyman (left) At its 1901 convention in Denver, the American Federation of Musicians condemned ragtime in a harsh statement delivered by its president. Union musicians were specifically cautioned against playing ragtime, and the Federation's president maintained that "... the musicians know what is good, and if the people don't, we will have to teach them." Clearly, union musicians were a different breed in those days, and the smugness of the A. F. of M. suggests the intensity with which a radical shift in public taste would be debated. I'm indebted to Neil Leonard, whose 1962 book Jazz and the White Americans (University of Chicago Press) documents the opinion above, and the ones that follow, along with much additional insight. I discovered the book in the Lincoln Center Music Library in New York. If you can locate a copy, I think you would find it enlightening reading. Daniel G. Mason in the March 1918 issue of the
