Talk Of Indian Cinema - Part - 26 – 26th March 2022
Hello Guys,
How are you all. We are back with again our favorite column Talk of Indian
Cinema on 4th Sunday of March. I’m warm welcoming to all on the
last weekend of Awesome March. Tomorrow is 27th March and tomorrow
very special day for all the artists because tomorrow is World Theatre day.
Every artist who play their character its base on the stage and theatre.
Theatre is not easy but it’s an art. It’s taught a lot. I really proud on
myself to be part of this theatre. It really inspire me a lot and taught me a
lot.
World Theatre Day was initiated in 1962 by the
International Theatre Institute (ITI). It is celebrated annually on 27 March by
ITI Centres and the international theatre community. Various national and international theatre events are organized to mark this occasion. One of
the most important of these is the circulation of the World Theatre Day
International Message through which at the invitation of ITI, a figure of world
stature shares his or her reflections on the theme of Theatre and a Culture of
Peace. The first World Theatre Day International Message was written by Jean
Cocteau (France) in 1962. It was first in
Helsinki, and then in Vienna at the 9th World Congress of the ITI in June 1961
that President Arvi Kivimaa proposed on behalf of the Finnish Centre of the
International Theatre Institute that a World Theatre Day be instituted. The
proposal, backed by the Scandinavian centers, was carried with acclamation.
Now I want to share my all time favorite top 10
Theatrical play with you and its listed below.
1.
Hamlet by William Shakespeare : There's
sublime poetry, rich psychology for characters of both sexes, a hefty dose of
comedy to leaven the mood, and, depending on a director's interpretation, a
crackling good mystery lying underneath the tale of "The Melancholy
Dane."
2.
Death Of Salesmen by Arthur Millar : "Attention
must be paid." Indeed. Not just to Willy Loman and the sad realities of
his life as a mediocre traveling salesman and the delusions that barely keep
him afloat, but also to Miller's exquisite modern tragedy about an average
Joe.
3.
Look Back in Anger by John Osborne : This
1956 drama did just that as it took middle age (mostly) out of playwriting and
instead offered up a picture of life among a group of discontent British
twentysomethings, pulling English drama out of parlors, dining rooms, and
genteel patios, and into cramped inner-city apartment squalor. Long live the
"angry young man play."
4.
Uncommon Women & Others By Wendy Wasserstein :
Wasserstein won the Pulitzer for The Heidi Chronicles, but
well before that look at life in post-feminist America she wrote this
touchingly funny play about a group of Mount Holyoke alums traversing
feminism's second wave. As the piece works backward through time from 1978 to
1972, what emerges is a cunning portrait of women during a period when
possibilities seemed both infinite and curiously limited.
5.
This is our Youth By Kennenth Longergan :
Lonergan's play about a trio of young people hanging
out, squabbling over a coke deal, and looking for some sense of direction in
the early years of the Reagan era follows in the footsteps of the British
"angry young man" plays.
6.
Playboy of the Western World By J.M. Synge : The Aristotelian
notion that a tragic hero needs to be noble gets thrown out the window in this
play about a man who's heralded as a hero for having killed his father in
self-defense only to be reviled by those who had cheered him when it turns out
the old man was only wounded.
7.
Awake & Sing By Cliffold Odets :
Tensions run high in this play about three
generations of a Bronx Jewish family and each one's pursuit of the American
Dream. Can one achieve it while also remaining true to one's heritage? It's a
question that immigrants have had to ponder in any decade, and as evidenced by
the NAATCO revival in 2015 this kitchen-sink drama poignantly transcends race
and religion.
8.
Romeo & Juliet By William Shakespeare : Romeo
and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career
about two young Italian star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile
their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during
his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed
plays.
9.
The School for Scandal By Richard Brinsley :
The
School for Scandal is, if not the most original, perhaps the most finished
and faultless comedy which we have. When it is acted, you hear people all
around you exclaiming, "Surely it is impossible for anything to be
cleverer." The scene in which Charles sells all the old family pictures but
his uncle's, who is the purchaser in disguise, and that of the discovery of
Lady Teazle when the screen falls, are among the happiest and most highly
wrought that comedy, in its wide and brilliant range, can boast. Besides the
wit and ingenuity of this play, there is a genial spirit of frankness and
generosity about it, that relieves the heart as well as clears the lungs. It
professes a faith in the natural goodness as well as habitual depravity of
human nature
10. The Women By Clare Booth Luce : The Women is a 1936 American play, a
comedy of manners by Clare Boothe Luce. The cast includes women only.The
original Broadway production, directed by Robert B. Sinclair, opened on December
26, 1936, at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, where it ran for 657 performances
with an all-female cast that included Margalo Gillmore, Ilka Chase, Betty
Lawford, Jessie Busley, Phyllis Povah, Marjorie Main, and Arlene Francis.
