The Royal Ballet: 75 Years - Zoe Anderson - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Royal Ballet: 75 Years - Zoe Anderson - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

This book is a perceptive and critical account of the first 75 years of The Royal Ballet, tracing the company''s growth, and its great cultural importance - an indispensable book for all lovers of ballet.In 1931, Ninette de Valois started a ballet company with just six dancers. Within twenty years, The Royal Ballet - as it became - was established as one of the world''s great companies. It has produced celebrated dancers, from Margot Fonteyn to Darcey Bussell, and one of the richest repertoires in ballet.The company danced through the Blitz, won an international reputation in a single New York performance and added to the glamour of London''s Swinging Sixties. It has established a distinctive English school of ballet, a pure classical style that could do justice to the 19th-century repertory and to new British classics.Leading dance critic, Zoë Anderson, vividly portrays the extraordinary personalities who created the company and the dancers who made such an impact on their audiences. She looks at the bad times as well as the good, examining the controversial directorships of Norman Morrice and Ross Stretton and the criticism fired at the company as the Royal Opera House closed for redevelopment.

Blood Royal - Christopher Sinclair Stevenson - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Blood Royal - Christopher Sinclair Stevenson - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The four Hanoverian King Georges may have become fixed in history as ''faintly absurd, certainly unattractive, figures'' but in this colourful account of their lives and times, families and courts, Christopher Sinclair-Stevenson restores a sprinkling of credit where it has been due. His account does not neglect the marital discords of George I, the towering paternal disdain of George II or the tragically misunderstood ''madness'' of George III. But the reader is also encouraged to consider how the Hanoverian monarchs reacted to the climate of art and fashion in their times, from George II''s espousal of Handel to George IV''s patronage of Beau Brummell. By its own admission not a comprehensive history, Blood Royal is nevertheless an elegant and shining string of linked vignettes and short studies.

Not One Of These People - Martin Crimp - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Not One Of These People - Martin Crimp - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

If you think you know what it’s like to be me you are seriously deluded. Is it appropriation to invent a voice – or is it an act of empathy? If a playwright’s job is to make dialogue, is there a limit to how many characters she / he / they are entitled to invent? Who can these people be? And what if an invented voice says things that even the author would prefer not to hear? With characteristically provocative humour, Martin Crimp’s latest work brings 299 unique characters to the stage. Not One of These People, a co-production between the Royal Court Theatre, Carte blanche, and the Carrefour international de théâtre, premiered at Théâtre La Bordée, Québec City, in June 2022, and at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in November 2022.

Engage the Enemy More Closely - Correlli Barnett - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Engage the Enemy More Closely - Correlli Barnett - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The accepted interpretation of Britain''s wartime role as an island sea power is challenged by Correlli Barnett''s brilliant demonstration that the dependence on seashore imports of food and raw materials, together with the obligations of Empire, were less a form of strength to Britain than a weakness. Topics discussed in this book range from strategic debates in London and Washington to gripping descriptions of the Royal Navy in action: the remorseless struggle against the U-boat in the Atlantic, the desperate convoy battles in the Mediterranean and the Arctic, and the battles in the Far East. It weaves in the rivalry between Allied and German technology and the all-important secret war of the cryptographers. ''This outstanding military historian has turned to maritime war and written an authoritative, meticulously researched and stirring account of the Royal Navy''s part in World War II.'' Admiral of the Fleet Lord Lewin of Greenwich, KG, GCB, LVO, DSC

The Bourbons of Naples (1734-1825) - Harold Acton - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Bourbons of Naples (1734-1825) - Harold Acton - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Naples is one of Europe''s most fascinating cities and the ruling dynasty which left its mark more than any other was that of the Bourbons, who arrived in 1734 and were only displaced by the Unification of Italy in 1870. Before that time Naples was the largest of the Italian kingdoms and, with Pompeii and Vesuvius as its main attractions, it drew hundreds of aristocratic travellers and visitors in the 18th century. The city also attracted the armies of revolutionary France and the royal family escaped to Sicily thanks to Admiral Nelson. The Bourbons of Naples was welcomed as a masterpiece at the time of first publication in 1956, and was chosen by Sir Osbert Sitwell as his book of the year. Sir Harold Acton (1904-1994) - famous aesthete and historian - brings 18th-century Naples vividly to life, with unforgettable characters such as Lady Hamilton and Nelson, royal eccentrics and plenty of court intrigue.''An elaborate comedy of manners played out over 700 pages.''

The Fever - Wallace Shawn - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Fever - Wallace Shawn - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A traveller falls ill in a poor country and plummets into a feverish self-examination. But something''s been hidden from me, too. Something - a part of myself - has been hidden from me, and I think it''s the part that''s there on the surface, what anyone in the world could see about me if they saw out the window of a passing train. The incredible history of my feelings and my thoughts could fill up a dozen leather-bound books. But the story of my life - my behaviour, my actions - now that''s a slim little paperback, and I''ve never read it. The Fever was first performed by the author in an apartment near Seventh Avenue in New York City in January 1990. It was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1991, and at the Ambassadors Theatre in 1997. The Fever was revived at the Royal Court Theatre in April 2009.
