Sean O'Casey (b. March 30): "Money doesn’t make you happy but it quiets the nerves."
Sean O’Casey (b. March 30): “Money doesn’t make you happy but it quiets the nerves.”
Tumblr media
Seán O’Casey (born 30 March 1880, died 18 September 1964) was an Irish dramatist and memoirist who wrote about life in the slums of Dublin in plays like The Shadow of a Gunman and The Plough and the Stars. Quotes: Money doesn’t make you happy but it quiets the nerves. When it was dark, you always carried the sun in your hand for me. All the world’s a stage and most of us are desperately…

Juno and the Paycock
Juno and the Paycock
Tumblr media
Laughed myself to sleep on the sofa watching Hitchcock’s ancient take (1930, I think) of the Sean O’Casey gem Juno and the Paycock. The characters are enchanting and the dialog is poetry, the stereotypes ring all too familiar and it is funny as hell. A darling film, it is, a darling film. As Fyl passed through the parlor I burst out laughing. What did he say? He said rest in peace. That’s funny?…

The Jungle
“When does a place become a home?”  It’s a question asked by Ammir Haj Ahmad as Safi, a refugee from Syria who is one of the residents of The Jungle. That was the name given to the extraordinary, self-governing community built on landfill in Calais, France that for 11 months became makeshift home to thousands of migrants, including hundreds of unaccompanied minors, fleeing more than a dozen countries. Safi serves as unofficial host and occasional narrator of “The Jungle,” a remarkable production that attempts to bring the community back to life.  From its inventive staging to its authentic casting and vivid setting, “The Jungle,” which arrives at St Ann’s Warehouse intact from its acclaimed run in London, shows what theater can do at its best to open us up to a world we otherwise ignore.
Slave Play
Slave Play,” which marks the Off-Broadway debut of playwright Jeremy O. Harris,  begins, as one would expect from the title, in a plantation in the Antebellum South. It involves three interracial couplings…In these first scenes, sexy and deliberately outrageous, Harris seems heavily influenced by the in-your-face pornographic theatrics of Thomas Bradshaw…But 45 minutes into the play there is an abrupt shift…What we learn (spoiler alert) is that the three interracial couples were role-playing as part of “Antebellum Sexual Performance Therapy
Network
Nobody can do a nervous breakdown like Bryan Cranston. As Howard Beale, long-time network news anchor gone mad, he sits in front of the camera, unable to speak, his face a dramatic repertoire expressing varying shades of reddened desperation. And that’s just one of Cranston’s many memorable moments in the Broadway production of Network, a largely humorless, tech-heavy adaptation by avant-garde director Ivo van Hove of the Oscar-winning 1976 film…Cranston, who became a star thanks to his Emmy-winning performance as chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin on AMC’s Breaking Bad, and convinced Broadway of his theater chops in his Tony-winning turn as LBJ in All The Way, is the reason to see Network at the Belasco. There aren’t that many other reasons.
The Cher Show
“The Cher Show,” the new Broadway jukebox musical that offers a whirlwind tour of the music, life and six-decade career of the entertainer and self-proclaimed  “goddamn Goddess Warrior,” is banking on the popularity of the star, using three different actresses to portray her.  One could argue that Cher’s fans expect no less – and no more – than what The Cher Show gives them: glitz, hits and highlights.  But Cher’s very popularity – along with her longevity, range, and contradictions – might have made for a portrait not just fabulous but also fascinating…and maybe even (dare I say it) nuanced.
Instead, the show is putting its faith in the power of sequins.
Cher and Broadway: A Quiz
The Head and the Load
This unusual and startling hybrid piece uses a cacophony of words and images, music and dance to bring us World War I as it played out in Africa….What’s on the page suggests a structure and meaning that prove largely elusive on stage to those of us without a grounding in the history of Africa or of World War I. …it’s worth it anyway, because a story so full of horror should not be lost to history, and because (as with most of what I’ve seen at the Park Avenue Armory over the last couple of years) it’s being presented with such theatrical audacity.
Heather Raffo and Noura
Heather Raffo says she grew up as a “sheltered Michigan girl — a really nice, open, conservative” and blonde American who spoke English with a flat Midwestern accent. Then, at age 20, the Gulf War changed her identity. She became an Iraqi-American practically overnight.
Now, almost three decades later, Raffo, in long (dyed) black hair, is portraying the title character in her play Noura at Playwrights Horizon, about an Iraqi family celebrating their first Christmas after becoming American citizens. It doesn’t go as planned. They too are forced to adjust to a new identity.

Interview with Heidi Schreck, The Interval’s Person of the Year
Peter Brook on The Meaning of Theater
When people ask me what I am trying to say, I get very angry. I’m not trying to say anything….. [P]ure theater: the sharing through the imagination of something down to earth and concrete and appealing for the imagination, so that there’s always that sense of “and then what?”—that sense of wonder, which one needs so badly, and one has so little of in everyday life.
Santino Fontana as Dorothy in Tootsie, opening April 23, 2019 at Broadway’s Marquis Theater.
Rest in Peace

Silahşörün Gölgesi Sean O'Casey Ülker İnce
Silahşörün Gölgesi Sean O'Casey Ülker İnce
Silahşörün Gölgesi isimli kitabın yazarı Sean O'Casey çevirmeni Ülker İnce olarak belirtilmiştir. İrlanda ulusal tiyatro hareketinin olduğu kadar, İrlanda işçi hareketinin de önde gelen kişilerinden ve çağımızın başlıca drama ustalarından olan OCasey, günümüzde de çetin bir biçimde süren İrlanda ulusal bağımsızlık mücadelesinin çelişkilerini İrlanda halkı ve insanını çelişkileriyle birlikte yansıtır. OCasey önemli olan, yalnızca İngiliz birliklerin karşı değil, ama İrlanda içindeki dinsel, toplumsal ve düşsel baskıya karşı da mücadele verilmesi; İrlanda insanını tüm yaşam alanlarında özgürleşmesidir. OCaseyin en ünlü oyunlarından biri olan Silahşörün Gölgesi, bağımsızlık ve özgürlük mücadelesi çevresinde, gerçekler karşısında hayallere sığınmaya çalışan, sözde yiğitlik taslayan sahte ve korkak kahramanlar ile adsız gerçek kahramanları yanyana getirerek, İrlanda halkının kendine özgü trajikomik özelliğini sıcaklığıyla bizlere vermektedir.
Silahşörün Gölgesi kitabının sayfa miktarı : 77 Silahşörün Gölgesi kitabı Türkçe olarak yazılmıştır.
