Kurt Gänzl’s “Gilbert and Sullivan: The Players and the Plays” - Operetta Research Center

"In conclusion, I cannot recommend this book too highly. It is something that everyone interested in Gilbert and Sullivan should have, as it greatly expands knowledge of the work of these two men of the theatre – plus, of course, Richard D’Oyly Carte himself."

An excellent review of Kurt Gänzl’s new book Gilbert and Sullivan: The Players and the Plays!

#ASAP12 Have a book project? Check out our series in Latin American Cinema edited by Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado and Leslie L. Marsh!

We welcomes submissions of monographs dedicated to the study of Latin American cinema. We seek both works that focus on regional clusters (such as the Andean region, the Southern Cone, Central America, or the Spanish Caribbean) and also on the focused analysis of the national and sub-national film traditions of the region. The series will publish works on any part of the historical arc of Latin American cinema, from its earliest iterations to contemporary production. The topics that will be addressed include but are not limited to: production and distribution structures; textual and formal analysis of films; audience and reception studies; theoretical approaches; historical and archival studies; and studies of key directors, films, and movements. We also welcome work engaged with cutting-edge theoretical approaches and the study of periods and films currently under-represented in existing scholarship. https://bit.ly/3bn5nEu

Interview with Nahma Sandrow, translator and editor | Digital Yiddish Theatre Project

Here's a snippet from this wonderful interview with Nahma Sandrow, editor and translator of Yiddish Plays for Reading and Performance:

Joel Berkowitz: Nahma, mazl-tov on the publication of your new anthology, Yiddish Plays for Reading and Performance (SUNY Press, 2021). Even before turning to page one, I’m struck by the title. Why do you specify those two activities, reading and performance, right off the bat?

Nahma Sandrow: I’m hoping that these plays will be staged, by professionals or amateurs. Maybe because I myself have written plays and a libretto—most of them taking off from source material, but becoming in the process distinctly my own—I feel for all playwrights whose plays are silent. All those Yiddish scripts crumbling in archives! It is a vivid fantasy to me—I really imagine it—that the dead playwrights are begging me to help put their creations on stage, live, the way they wished for, the way plays are supposed to be.

“On the whole this edited volume goes some way in helping one to re-learn to see the world in a #respiratory way, offering various approaches to a world in which ‘everything breathes again’ … Škof and Berndtson’s project is indeed a worthy one, particularly when it stresses the importance of the atmosphere which is breathed in, an entity that is too often taken for granted and consumed via processes that are more often than not unconscious.” — Phenomenological Reviews
