1979162878Rome: Comune di Roma 1979. Vintage poster for an Italian staging of the 1974 groundbreaking American experimental theatre production. Staged in Rome at the Teatro Alberico circa 1979.<br /> <br /> Founded in 1947 in New York by Julian Beck and Judith Malina The Living Theatre is the oldest active experimental theater group in the United States. In the fifties and sixties the company became an epicenter for revolutionary culture performing both original and repertory works.<br /> <br /> "Seven Meditations" was largely written in response to the imprisonment of several members of the company under the Medici dictatorship in Brazil in 1971 drawing on their experiences of suppression and torture in the Brazilian prison system. The show addressed seven different types of actions relationships or statements governed by power including sexuality capitalism private property and law enforcement and attempted to begin a dialogue with audience members regarding ways to move forward from these dynamics. <br /> <br /> As with many of the group's performances "Seven Meditations" proved controversial and even courted obscenity charges largely due to a section of the show depicting a simulated torture scene-as shown in the poster on offer.<br /> <br /> 39 x 55 inches. Rolled. Very Good plus. Comune di Roma unknown

22783On letterhead of The Western Times Office Exeter. 30 March 185 '. Phelps's entry in the Oxford DNB gives the background to the present letter stating that Phelps 'married Sarah Cooper 1810/11–1867 on 11 August 1826; she was just sixteen. However their marriage was very happy: they were a devoted couple and Sarah later served as Phelps's dresser. Phelps preferred home life with her to clubs or social gatherings. His other delights were angling and shooting and he purportedly knew every trout stream in England. They had three sons and three daughters including William Robert 1828–1867 who became chief justice of St Helena and Edmund d. 1870 who became an actor.' 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Folded twice. The first three digits of the year are printed in the letterhead and have not been completed. The letter begins: 'My dearest/ I promised to write to-day I believe though I can only tell you that I am well and getting lots of fresh air - Yesterday the boys and I went fishing but found the river flooded - it was showery but still delightful - To-day the weather is better and we think of going off to morrow and trying our luck at Axminster'. With reference to his son William Robert noticed above he writes: 'I took a long walk with Bob this morning and had a long talk with him - he seems perfectly settled - Latimer says he gets on famously - his health is very much better and he looks well'. He asks her to write and tell him 'how the Concert went off last night and what was in the house - Mr Latimer is laying down all kinds of plans for my going to all sorts of places but I think I can come home at the end of the week'. If he finds 'any difficulty in getting away' 'Greenwood' - i.e. Thomas Greenwood the lessee of Sadler's Wells - is to 'send a line to say I am wanted'. He ends by asking her to 'have every thing ready to start off for Farningham as soon as I return - the holidays are short and I must make the most of my time - Kiss the boy all over for me God bless you my darling S. P.' On letterhead of The Western Times Office, Exeter. 30 March 185[ ]'. unknown

Your appearance is majestic; your enunciation beautiful; your reading and interpretation a delight. I cannot tell you how proud I am of you. Not alone have you done a great thing for yourself but you have thrilled and will thrill many thousands in your audiences and most especially those that are Americans.

31950The Overture and Music Composed Selected and Arranged by Mr R. B. Stewart. The whole produced under the entire direction of Mr J. W. Kimber and Personal Supervision of Mr W. Paterson . . Edinburgh : s.n. 1864 5 - 30 January. Playbill 760 x 255 mm; lithograph printed recto only with an illustration by J. F. Coullie of a scene from the pantomime behind the large-lettered title; old central fold small tear at bottom right corner loss of a few words of text relating to opening times but otherwise clean and very well preserved. A large format playbill for the 1864 Edinburgh production of a grotesque pantomime based on Henry J. Byron's popular Robinson Crusoe; or Harlequin Friday and the king of the Caribee Islands. Byron had adapted his work from a much earlier pantomime of the 1780s and 1790s Robinson Crusoe; or Harlequin Friday: a grand pantomime which was penned by none other than the great Irish satirist Richard Brinsley Sheridan. For each of the ten scenes in the play a description is given of the setting characters and elaborate scenery devices and the performing cast is named in full. One of the main attractions in the pantomime is staged in Scene 9: this is the 'Grand Aboriginal Ballet - a New Zea-land Maori Festival' which would have been a fantasy pastiche of imagined South Sea rituals. unknown
1886AQ23260London: W. S. Johson 1886. 8pp. Stitched as issued. Old central horizontal fold a trifle spotted. A programme for a performance of Goethe's Faust on May 10th 1886 at the Lyceum Theatre then under the management of Henry Irving 1838-1905 with Bram Stoker 1847-1912 serving as acting manager. 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. . Quarto. [W. S. Johson] unknown
34946At head of title: On Monday April the 8th 1861 and during the week the performances will commence with a New Drama in 4 acts by Mr. G. Conquest partly founded on a tale by Pierce Egan Esq. entitled . Whitechapel : Pownceby Steam Printer 43 Leman St. 1861. Double-page playbill 340 x 430 mm; lithograph printed on thin paper; original central fold in very good condition. A rare large-format playbill produced for the opening night of Forget & forgive ; or Love me leave me not at the Royal Grecian Theatre formerly the Eagle Tavern in London's Shoreditch in April 1861. The theatre's proprietor Benjamin Conquest 1803-1872 also managed the Garrick Theatre in nearby Leman Street - where the present playbill happens to have been printed by Henry Pownceby. George Conquest Benjamin's son not only wrote this play; he also produced directed and starred in it. This would have been one of the first of around 100 productions that the father-and-son team staged during the 1860s and early 1870s. The first act of this three-act melodrama is set in the 'Crags and mountain tops of Australia'. The characters listed on the playbill are Dick Stoney an escaped convict played by Mr Alfred Rayner; Nut Gull an 'anythingarian and lover of money' Mr George Conquest; Francis Fairland 'a wealthy trader' Mr Holland; Henry Moreland 'a settler in Australia' Mr William James; and Adele 'a wild girl and half Native wife of Henry Moreland' Mrs Charles Dillon. The final part of this opening act is described thus: 'A Dell near the Sea! The Hut and Home of Adele The Wild Girl of Australia . the Loving Wife . Love me leave me not! The Flight . the Shot.' The action then moves to England where the final two acts take place and the paths of Dick Stoney Nut Gull Henry Moreland and Adele all cross once again. The performance of Forget & forgive was followed by a burlesque - also written by Conquest - entitled Guy Faux! and a single-act play Ostler's Vision penned by local actor Alfred Rayner. A musical concert with free admission held in the Assembly Room concluded the evening's entertainment. Trove locates a single example of this playbill in Australian collections SLNSW unknown
