Free Download Richard Eyre, "National Service: Diary Of A Decade At The National Theatre"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 0747565902, 0747565899 | EPUB | pages: 438 | 2.3 mb
During the ten years from 1987 to 1997 that he was Director of the Royal National Theatre, Richard Eyre kept a diary?a record that disarmingly captured a life at the heart of British cultural and political affairs. The powerful and the famous inevitably strut and fret upon its pages, but National Service is also a moving personal journey, charted faithfully by a fiercely self-aware and frequently self-doubting individual. The job of grappling with a giant three-headed monster as complex as the Royal National Theatre is laid before us. So are good gossip, brilliant insights into personalities and relationships, and a sense of the ridiculous, which Eyre is powerless to suppress. Like other consummate diarists such as Alan Clark and Kenneth Tynan, Richard Eyre has a voice and point of view that jolt the reader into fresh understanding?and are instantly compelling.

Free Download Erith Jaffe-Berg, "Jewish Theatre Making in Mantua, 1520-1650 "
English | ISBN: 1641892501 | 2022 | 200 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book studies how the Jewish community of Mantua established, normalized, and maintained interrelations with the Christian community for over 130 years, from 1520 to 1650, by means of theatre performance for the Gonzaga Dukes. Performance is shown to have been a mutually beneficial "currency" that both the Dukes and Jews could use to calibrate their relations with one another. Seen in this light, the author demonstrates that performance was not the consequence of cultural exchange between Jews and Christians, but was one of the means by which the complicated nature of cultural communication and exchange took place.

Free Download Christian Biet, "What is the Theatre?"
English | ISBN: 1138701653 | 2019 | 616 pages | PDF | 6 MB
What is the Theatre? is one of the most coherent and systematic descriptions and analyses of the theatre yet compiled. Theatre is, above all, spectacle. It is a fleeting performance, delivered by actors and intended for spectators. It is a work of the body, an exercise of voice and gesture addressed to an audience, most often in a specific location and with a unique setting. This entertainment event rests on the delivery of a thing promised and expected – a particular and unique performance witnessed by spectators who have come to the site of the performance for this very reason. To witness theatre is to take into account the performance, but it is also to take into account the printed text as readable object and a written proposition.
