Bernard Shaw on the American Stage: A Chronicle of Premieres and Notable Revivals de L. W. Conolly

Bernard Shaw on the American Stage: A Chronicle of Premieres and Notable Revivals: Bernard Shaw and His Contemporaries

Autor L. W. Conolly
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 aug 2022
Bernard Shaw on the American Stage is the first comprehensive study of the production of Bernard Shaw’s plays in America. During his lifetime (1856-1950), Shaw was America’s most popular living playwright; productions of his plays were outnumbered only by Shakespeare. Forty-four of Shaw’s plays were staged in America before his death, eight more posthumously. Eleven of the productions were world premieres. Bernard Shaw on the American Stage tells the story of the fifty-two premieres, which, apart from a few fragments, is his total dramatic oeuvre. The book also includes, again for the first time, production data and concise overviews of dozens of the most notable American revivals of the plays, from the 1890s to the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. Illustrations—production photographs, programmes, theatre buildings, playbills, actors’ studio portraits— inform the study throughout.
