John Barrymore, Shakespearean Actor/ Index
to those with an interest in the theatre, Shakespeare, and the art of actingI hopeyou will enjoy exploring the John Barrymore, shakespearean Actor Web site.
http://www.shakespearean.com/

Extractions: D uring the 1920s, a wave of postwar ebullience exploded into the Jazz Age, bringing a new and unprecedented accent on youth and a generation that cast off the vestiges of Victorian culture and embraced new trends in art, music, dance, poetry, fiction, and drama. The way was open for an actor who could recapture and redefine the glamour, skill, and galvanizing presence of an earlier day. John Barrymore was such an actor, and his Richard III and Hamlet, first seen in New York during the 1919-20 and 1922-23 seasons, stand as high water marks of twentieth century Shakespearean interpretation. Many conventions of modern practice can be traced to Barrymore's performances: he was the first actor to bring the vocal and physical manner of a postwar gentleman to Shakespeare's tragic protagonists and was the first to reinterpret time-honored roles in light of Freudian psychology. His dynamic portrayals and the groundbreaking innovations of his production team, the director Arthur Hopkins and the designer Robert Edmond Jones, helped to revitalize Shakespearean acting and production in America and Great Britain and changed the direction of subsequent revivals.

1538 200301-03 Moscow-taught director's shakespearean revival among Spain's stagehighlights Spanish theatre critics highlight A Midsummer Night's Dream
http://english.pravda.ru/culture/2003/01/03/41577.html

Extractions: Spanish theatre critics highlight "A Midsummer Night's Dream" among top stage achievements of the season. One of Shakespeare's most philosophically profound plays, it is imbued with existential optimism. Director Angel Gutierrez also designed the scenery, props and costumes for his sensational production. Angel Gutierrez found himself in Moscow in the late 1930s among the many children evacuated during the Spanish civil war. Brilliant graduate of the GITIS, or Moscow Theatre Institute, he made a number of excellent productions in Moscow's leading drama companies, and many memorable appearances in Russian-made films. Developing on Russian stage finds and traditions, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" has a tremendous impact on the Spanish public-at-large and experts alike. "Senor Gutierrez gave up Chekhovian melancholy for a time to make a sparkling show, in which daring imagination goes hand-in-hand with spontaneity. It abounds in exquisite surprises and delightful follies," writes eminent critic Javier Villan.
ClassicNotes: About Shakespearean Theater
About shakespearean Theater actor and future Lord Chamberlain's Man, James Burbage,built the first permanent theater, called The theatre , outside London
http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Titles/shakespearean_theater.html

Extractions: Before Shakespeare¹s time and during his boyhood, troupes of actors performed wherever they could in halls, courts, courtyards, and any other open spaces available. However, in 1574, when Shakespeare was ten years old, the Common Council passed a law requiring plays and theaters in London to be licensed. In 1576, actor and future Lord Chamberlain's Man, James Burbage, built the first permanent theater, called "The Theatre", outside London city walls. After this many more theaters were established, including the Globe Theatre, which was where most of Shakespeare's plays premiered. Performances took place during the day, using natural light from the open center of the theater. Since there could be no dramatic lighting and there was very little scenery or props, audiences relied on the actors' lines and stage directions to supply the time of day and year, the weather, location, and mood of the scenes. Shakespeare's plays masterfully supply this information . For example, in Hamlet the audience learns within the first twenty lines of dialogue where the scene takes place ("Have you had quiet guard?"), what time of day it is ("'Tis now strook twelf"), what the weather is like ("'Tis bitter cold"), and what mood the characters are in ("and I am sick at heart"). One important difference between plays written in Shakespeare's time and those written today is that Elizabethan plays were published after their performances, sometimes even after their authors' deaths, and were in many ways a record of what happened on stage during these performances rather than directions for what should happen. Actors were allowed to suggest changes to scenes and dialogue and had much more freedom with their parts than actors today. Shakespeare's plays are no exception. In Hamlet, for instance, much of the plot revolves around the fact that Hamlet writes his own scene to be added to a play in order to ensnare his murderous father.

http://www.snet.net/features/issues/articles/2001/05180101.shtml

Extractions: Love's Labour's Lost The Love's Labour's Lost" The Shakespearean Youth Theatre (SYT) is a group of young people, ages twelve to eighteen, whose desire to enjoy, study and perform the works of Shakespeare has brought them together. They have worked with several professional actors and Shakespearean scholars and are under the artistic direction of Dana Sachs. Since its founding in 1996 the group has produced four plays: "The Tempest," "Twelfth Night," "Much Ado about Nothing," and "MacBeth." This summer they will perform "Love's Labour's Lost," a romantic comedy set in the lovely court of Navarre where the King and his compatriots decide to isolate themselves from the world for three years of study, vowing to see no women during that time. However, when the beautiful Princess of France arrives with her ladies on a diplomatic mission, the men find themselves caught and the comedy begins. "I think this play is very funny and the wordplay witty," says Sarah, a member of the cast. "Working with the cast again this year is great!" "It's neat doing a play no one has ever heard of before," Matt comments. "Love's Labour's Lost deserves resurrection. It's really funny!"

Extractions: MICHAEL GOODLIFFE: WARTIME SHAKESPEAREAN ACTOR AND PRODUCER Michael Goodliffe as "Hamlet" by Aubrey Davidson Houston This site is a member of WebRing. To browse visit here Michael Goodliffe was an actor who died in 1976. Some of his most interesting achievements were in Germany where he was held as a prisoner of war from 1940 to 1945. Goodliffe was the archetype of the traditional English actor: educated at public school and Oxford University, tall and handsome with a dramatic temperament on and off-stage, a gentleman who would not upstage his colleagues or steal their lines. His career started in the 1930s with a period in repertory in Liverpool followed by a period with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford . He enlisted in the army on the declaration of war, no doubt out of a sense of public duty, although he had no military inclinations. He found the written questions during his examination incomprehensible, so he made good use of his artistic skills, covering his script with drawings of soldiers and tanks. This did not prevent him from being commissioned into the Royal Warwickshire Regiment as a second lieutenant. Goodliffe was wounded in the leg in May 1940 during the retreat to Dunkirk and captured by the German forces (after being reported killed in action - click here for telegram from War Office and newspaper obituary ). After recuperating from his injuries at Maastricht in Holland he was transferred to Oflag VIID in Bavaria:

John Barrymore, shakespearean Actor (CambridgeStudies in American theatre and Drama, 10).
http://hallbiography.com/arts_literature/867.shtml

Extractions: Toward the end of his life, master actor John Barrymore became an embarrassment: he was a classic drunken has-been who could neither pull it together nor pack it in. But this unusual biography spends most of its pages on Barrymore's golden age in the 1920s and 1930s, describing in amazing pre-videotape detail his performances at the height of his powers, playing what may be the 20th century's definitive Hamlet , along with Macbeth and other classical roles. Michael Morrison draws on books, memories, reviews, and other material to present painstaking line-by-line recreations of Barrymore's most shining performances. Book Description John Barrymore's Richard III and Hamlet, first seen in New York during the 1919-20 and 1922-23 seasons, stand as high-water marks of twentieth-century Shakespearean interpretation. Michael Morrison reconstructs these historic performances through analysis of the production preparation, audience response, reviews, and memoirs. Tracing the Victorian and Edwardian antecedents of Shakespearean performance, this book situates Barrymore's distinctive contribution in light of past and ensuing tradition. As well, it provides a biographical sketch of one of the most revered and tragic actors of the 20th century.

Professor Linklater's exercises are complemented by glimpses into her acting workshop in which fourteen graduate students at Columbia University's theatre division participated. Occasionally, Kristin Linklater also speaks a Shakespearean text herself. Throughout the e-seminar exercises, "Kristin's Class Time" and "Kristin Talks the Text" are accesssible by clicking the appropriate icon. Various animated activities that appear in separate sections of the e-seminar further enhance the experience.
Utah Shakespearean Festival Wins Tony Award
Sure enough, at 830 am EDT, the Utah shakespearean Festival was announcedas recipient of the Tony for Outstanding Regional theatre.
http://www.unc.edu/depts/outdoor/news/2000/usf-tony-summer.html

Extractions: "This is for you!" Fred C. Adams accepts the Tony Award on behalf of the cast and crew of the Utah Shakespearean Festival. When the call first came, Thursday, May 4, Utah Shakespearean Festival founder and executive producer, Fred C. Adams, could only respond, "Are you sure you've called the right theatre?" As he realized he had just spoken with Edgar Dobie, managing producer of Tony Award Productions, he knew that the festival he founded 39 years ago was the recipient of the 2000 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre. The thrill and amazement has yet to wear off. "Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought we would receive a Tony Award," stated Adams in an early interview. "I've always wanted to produce the best theatre possible, but this honor takes my breath away." This award is the only Tony awarded outside the Broadway community and is based on a recommendation of the American Theatre Critics Association. The difficult part for Adams was to keep the news quiet until the award was officially announced in New York City on Monday, May 8.

http://www.fathom.com/feature/35253

Extractions: C. Walter Hodges EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION has devoted a long career to reconstructing images of the Shakespearean stage on the basis of the plays themselves and contemporary accounts. A lifetime's work on this subject is brought together in his book Enter the Whole Army , which is illustrated with his elegant drawings. Here he outlines the fundamental components of the Elizabethan theatre. n the late fifteen-eighties, when the Rose theatre was being built, Shakespeare was already an established playwright: and a few years later he had joined the very successful Burbage company, the Chamberlain's Men, with whom he quickly became a shareholding partner. He had entered the theatre at just the time when the player companies were furnishing themselves with a luxury of professional aids and amenities they could never have enjoyed nor planned ahead for in their former peripatetic way of life.
