It has been argued that the titular character of Stoker's Dracula 1897 was in part inspired by Irving’s portrayal of Mephistopheles in a production of Faust; and indeed the works of Goethe more broadly were highly influential in particular his poem 'Die Braut von Corinth' 1797 that introduced the vampire to German literature. .

004537Melton Mowbray: No Publisher Three tickets for various productions at Dalby Theatre: 1. 'Macbeth' with 'High Life Below Stairs' approximately 55mm x 76mm in size dated 21st July with an image of a woman holding a dagger and a chalice; 2. 'The Wonder' with 'Atheling Castle' approximately 54mm x 77mm in size dated July 14th with an image of a dancing woman holding a mask; and 3. 'The Castle Spectre' with a farce called 'Transformed or No' approximately 65mm x 57mm in size dated July 9th with a coloured image of a partially clothed woman in the clouds holding a banner in which the plays and dates are inscribed n.d. but probably very late eighteenth century or very early nineteenth century. All three slightly trimmed each with play titles and date to front in ink and with 'Admission Ticket Not Transferable' to reverse lightly browned 'Castle Spectre' with soiling to top left hand corner but generally clean. Dalby theatre was the private playhouse of Edward Hartropp 1758-1808 at Little Dalby Hall Leicestershire it was demolished in 1945. 'High Life Below Stairs' was a comedy by James Townley; 'The Wonder' was a play by Susanna Centlivre set in Lisbon; 'Atheling Castle' was possibly based on the gothic novel by Ann Radcliffe 'The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne' first published in 1789; 'The Castle Spectre' was by Matthew Gregory Lewis Monk Lewis first performed in 1797; and 'Transformed or No' has eluded our searches. The BM has all three of these tickets with others pasted on to a sheet of paper C2. 1535-1543 Yale has both 'Macbeth' with the same image used for another play 'Isabella' with 'Lover's Quarrels' and 'Castle Spectre' but not as far as we can tell 'The Wonder'.

194880631New York: Chappell & Co. Inc 1948. First Edition. First printing. Inscribed on title page: "For Joe Littau a merry Christmas and thanks for a beautiful job!" signed "Kurt Weill" undated but annotated in pencil presumably by Littau: "Xmas 1948." Quarto 30cm. Original buff wrappers printed in red on front cover; 274pp. Professional paper repairs at spine ends; expected tanning to exterior and text; still a superlative copy overall and quite uncommon. Housed in a custom-made cloth clamshell box. <br /> <br /> A terrific association copy of this acclaimed late work by Weill for which he won the inaugural Tony Award for Best Original Score in 1947. Street Scene is perhaps the apotheosis of Weill's socially-engaged musical theater a blend of operatic and theatrical elements with which he first experimented in his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht of the Thirties including Three Penny Opera and The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. Street Scene based on Elmer Rice's naturalistic working-class drama of the same name was especially noteworthy for including lyrics by the African-American poet Langston Hughes whom Weill sought out specifically to "lift the everyday language of the people into a simple unsophisticated poetry" quoted by Jane Vial Jaffe in her program notes to a 2008 production. This was Hughes' first experience writing for musical theater.<br /> <br /> Street Scene premiered at the Adelphi Theater in New York in January 1947 and met with critical success though its high production costs forced the production to close in April. The show has never been revived on Broadway but it has been staged regularly by operatic companies including revivals by the New York City Opera in 1959 1979 and 1990. <br /> <br /> Inscriptions by Weill are uncommon; it's an honor he appears to have bestowed only on very close friends and collaborators. In this case the presentation is to Joe Littau the well-known pit conductor who was at this time the Musical Director for Weill's 1948 musical "Love Life" which ran on Broadway from October 1948 to May 1949.

The plays were performed in Southern California predominantly at The Court Theatre Falcon Theatre Theatre West The Raven Playhouse and Melrose Theatre. <br /> <br /> The archive includes posters from 10 productions including "Fahrenheit 451" "The October Country" "Past Present & Future" "The Time of Going Away" and "Drunk and In Charge of a Bicycle." and his Irish play "Falling Upward!" "Falling Upward!" was one of Bradbury's favorite plays and especially as he advanced in age he was know to encourage its frequent production simply for the joy of being able to see it again. <br /> <br /> Bradbury was an avid playwright and a familiar and enthusiastic presence in the Southern California theatre circuit near his home. In 1963 he and director Charles Rome Smith founded Pandemonium Theatre Company. The two friends would go on to work with the company together for the next four decades until Rome's death in 2004. This archive is a solid representation of the company's latter half before Smith's passing and Bradbury's hearing loss which would necessitate that he stop attending performances. <br /> <br /> Posters approximately 11 x 17 inches.
