Partners of the Imagination

Partners of the Imagination

Robert Leach

Routledge
2020
sidottu
Partners of the Imagination is the first in-depth study of the work of John Arden and Margaretta D’Arcy, partners in writing and cultural and political campaigns. Beginning in the 1950s, Arden and D’Arcy created a series of hugely admired plays performed at Britain’s major theatres. Political activists, they worked tirelessly in the peace movement and the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’, during which D’Arcy was gaoled. She is also a veteran of the Greenham Common Women’s Peace camp. Their later work included Booker-listed novels, prize-winning stories, essays and radio plays, and D’Arcy founded and ran a Woman’s Pirate Radio station. Raymond Williams described Arden as ‘the most genuinely innovative’ of the playwrights of his generation, and Chambers and Prior claimed that ‘The Non-Stop Connolly Show’, D’Arcy and Arden’s six-play epic, ‘has fair claim to being one of the finest pieces of post-war drama in the English language’. This study explores the connections between art and life, and between the responsibilities of the writer and the citizen. Importantly, it also evaluates the range of literary works (plays, poetry, novels, essays, polemics) created by these writers, both as literature and drama, and as controversialist activity in its own right. This work is a landmark examination of two hugely respected radical writers.

An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance

Robert Leach

Routledge
2020
nidottu
An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance chronicles the history and development of theatre from the Roman era to the present day. As the most public of arts, theatre constantly interacted with changing social, political and intellectual movements and ideas, and Robert Leach’s masterful work restores to the foreground of this evolution the contributions of women, gay people and ethnic minorities, as well as the theatres of the English regions, and of Wales and Scotland.Highly illustrated chapters trace the development of theatre through major plays from each period; evaluations of playwrights; contemporary dramatic theory; acting and acting companies; dance and music; the theatre buildings themselves; and the audience, while also highlighting enduring features of British theatre, from comic gags to the use of props. Continuing on from the Enlightenment, Volume Two of An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance leads its readers from the drama and performances of the Industrial Revolution to the latest digital theatre. Moving from Punch and Judy, castle spectres and penny showmen to Modernism and Postdramatic Theatre, Leach’s second volume triumphantly completes a collated account of all the British Theatre History knowledge anyone could ever need.

Vsevolod Meyerhold

Vsevolod Meyerhold

Robert Leach

Cambridge University Press
1993
pokkari
This book traces the career of the Russian revolutionary theatre director, Vsevolod Meyerhold, from his early years as a founding member of the Moscow Art Theatre with Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko, through his Symbolist period, his experiments with commedia dell’arte and other popular forms, to his demise in the Stalin era. Leach describes in detail Meyerhold’s ‘system’ of theatre: his attitude to the audience, the place of the fore stage, ‘biomechanics’ and actor training, and the importance of the mise-en-scène. Finally, Leach explores Meyerhold’s legacy, which can be detected in the work of Brecht, Eisenstein, Peter Brook and others.

The Payroll Audit

The Payroll Audit

Cambridge Strategy Publications
2010
pokkari
Ensure that payroll is punctual, accurate, secure and used effectively as a management tool Managing the payroll is often seen as a purely administrative function. But, aside from the legal and financial implications of payroll errors, payroll has significant implications for the organisation as a whole. So this 6-Step audit first of all ensures that your payroll: - Meets all relevant legal requirements- Is secure against the risk of mistakes and internal and external fraud- Is managed efficiently and cost-effectively- Is supplied with timely and accurate information about all employeesThen it goes on to consider the overall role of the payroll function and allows you to consider: - How the payroll function could be better integrated into the HR function- Whether any of the information held by the payroll function could usefully (and legally) be shared - e.g. flexible working schemes may hold two sets of time and attendance data- How far payment methods and timetabling meet employees' needs and the needs of the company- Whether payroll resources could be used by other departments at 'quiet' times- Whether payroll should be seen as a separate profit centre, and how it might earn revenue.
