Free Download Louise Ladouceur, "Dramatic Licence: Translating Theatre from One Official Language to the Other in Canada"
English | ISBN: 0888645384 | 2012 | 300 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Translation is tricky business. The translator has to transform the foreign to the familiar while moving and pleasing his or her audience. Louise Ladouceur knows theatre from a multi-dimensional perspective that gives her research a particular authority as she moves between two of the dominant cultures of Canada: French and English. Through the analysis of six plays from each linguistic repertoire, written and translated between 1961 and 2000, her award-winning book compares the complexities of a translation process shaped by the power struggle between Canada’s two official languages. The winner of the Prix Gabrielle-Roy and the Ann Saddlemyer Book Award, Dramatic Licence addresses issues important to scholars and students of Translation Studies, Canadian Literature and Theatre Studies, as well as theatre practitioners and translators. The University of Alberta Press acknowledges the financial support of the Government of Canada, through the National Translation Program for Book Publishing, for our translation activities. Foreword by E.D. Blodgett.

Free Download Richard Eyre, "National Service: Diary Of A Decade At The National Theatre"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 0747565902, 0747565899 | EPUB | pages: 438 | 2.3 mb
During the ten years from 1987 to 1997 that he was Director of the Royal National Theatre, Richard Eyre kept a diary?a record that disarmingly captured a life at the heart of British cultural and political affairs. The powerful and the famous inevitably strut and fret upon its pages, but National Service is also a moving personal journey, charted faithfully by a fiercely self-aware and frequently self-doubting individual. The job of grappling with a giant three-headed monster as complex as the Royal National Theatre is laid before us. So are good gossip, brilliant insights into personalities and relationships, and a sense of the ridiculous, which Eyre is powerless to suppress. Like other consummate diarists such as Alan Clark and Kenneth Tynan, Richard Eyre has a voice and point of view that jolt the reader into fresh understanding?and are instantly compelling.

Free Download Erith Jaffe-Berg, "Jewish Theatre Making in Mantua, 1520-1650 "
English | ISBN: 1641892501 | 2022 | 200 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book studies how the Jewish community of Mantua established, normalized, and maintained interrelations with the Christian community for over 130 years, from 1520 to 1650, by means of theatre performance for the Gonzaga Dukes. Performance is shown to have been a mutually beneficial "currency" that both the Dukes and Jews could use to calibrate their relations with one another. Seen in this light, the author demonstrates that performance was not the consequence of cultural exchange between Jews and Christians, but was one of the means by which the complicated nature of cultural communication and exchange took place.
