Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Stage, Its Origins Modern Developments: A Critical Historical Study With the opening years of the present century there has been a remarkable revival of interest in theatrical affairs, particularly in what some deem the theatre´s most important function: the production of plays depicting life and problems of the past and present, with the least possible sacrifice of truth to the necessary conventions and limitations of the Stage - and without those concessions to the supposed popular taste for pleasing endings, characteristic of the work of box-office playwrights. With playgoers there appears to be an increasing desire for serious, natural and thoughtful plays, the purpose of which according to Ibsen should be to represent human beings, human emotions, and human destinies on a groundwork of modern social conditions and principles. This movement towards realism, however, does not exclude the function of joy-giving which, when all is said and done, will continue to be the main objective of the playhouse. If we have the unrelieved gloom of Galsworthy´s "Justice," we have also the racy humour of "You Never Can Tell." Few will dispute the fact that the "commercial" theatre adequately caters for the playgoer who primarily seeks amusement, sensation or sensuality.
