Paperback. Zustand: New. A Dirty BrothEarly Twentieth-Century Welsh Plays in EnglishEdited by David CottisWith an introduction by David Cottis and Alyce von Rothkirch When Caradoc Evans' play Taffy was first performed in London, the Western Mail reviewer described it as 'like a dirty broth which, dished out to the English people…, is swallowed with avidity.' In so doing, it summed up the treatment often given to the tradition of English-language playwriting in Wales - sometimes ignored, sometimes disapproved of, rarely celebrated. This Anthology, the first in a series of three, brings together three plays from the beginnings of Welsh playwriting in English; Change by J. O. Francis (1913), a family drama of the upheavals at the start of the twentieth century, Taffy (1923), a fierce satire on the Welsh social and religious establishment, and A Comedy of Good and Evil (1924) by Richard Hughes, a magical realist fantasy of the dilemmas faced by a country cleric and his wife when they are faced with a literal demon-child.Edited by David Cottis, who also co-wrote the Introduction with Alyce von Rothkirch, this volume shows the earliest stirrings of the English-language theatre in Wales, and the first of many attempts to set up a Welsh National Theatre. It sees the beginnings of the preoccupations and subject matter that were to characterise Welsh playwriting throughout the twentieth century, and to influence later writers such as Emlyn Williams, Dylan Thomas, Diana Morgan, and Jack Jones.

Hardback. Zustand: New. Examines the film careers and work of British playwrights who worked as screenwriters between 1930-1956.During the period between the 1927 Cinematograph Films Act and the 'new drama' of the 1950s, many British writers associated with the stage also wrote for films, bringing the techniques of the well-made… play with them. Some, like Bernard Shaw, Noel Coward, and Terence Rattigan were screenwriter-stars, part of the publicity of the films they worked on - Pygmalion, Brief Encounter, The Way to the Stars. Others were less celebrated but had long, successful screen careers, such as R. C. Sherriff, author of Journey's End, who worked on films as different as The Invisible Man, The Four Feathers and The Dam Busters. Using the authors' original archives, this book follows the way in which these writers adapted their stage skills for the screen, contributing to the post-war 'Golden Age 'of the British cinema, and creating the classic form of screenplay that continues today.
