Waste de Harley Granville Barker

Waste: Modern Plays

Autor Harley Granville Barker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2008
Published to tie in with the revival of this classic play by Harley Granville-Barker at the Almeida Theatre, 25 Sept - 15 Nov.




Radical politician Henry Trebell sees his personal and political
lives collide. An affair with a married woman threatens Trebell's power
and passionate ideals; her insistence on a woman's right to choose
bring private scandal into the public spotlight.




Controversially banned by the Lord Chamberlain on its release, Waste is a rich portrait of early 20th Century society with strong resonances and relevance for today.




Widely regarded as the founder of modern British theatre, Harley Granville Barker's work includes The Madras House and The Voysey Inheritance, recently revived at the National Theatre.

It will be directed by Samuel West.

Recenzii

Written in 1907 and revised in 1926, it takes its time (just over three hours), but encompasses a vast amount: English smugness and hypocrisy, the intricacies of power and the danger of divorcing campaigning idealism from emotional fulfilment. Granville Barker's skill lies in his seamless blend of private and public life . . . You emerge wrung through from a play that is not only the source of much state-of-the-nation drama but also, I suspect, Granville Barker's own self-indictment.
When the Lord Chamberlain gave the thumbs down to Harley Granville Barker's play about a politician's adulterous affair in 1907, was it the drama's references to abortion that spooked him? Or was it in fact the playwright's breathtaking cynicism about politics? It is that clear-eyed scepticism that gives the play its modern appeal.
The story at the heart of Harley Granville Barker's Waste - that of a political idealist brought low by scandal - has not dated one jot since the day it was written in 1907 or indeed since its first performance in 1936.
a remarkable play in its combination of sex, politics and religion. . . . in addition to acute psychological understanding, [Barker] shows a laser-like eye for the hypocrisies and shifting alliances of political life. . . . this is a play that deserves packed houses for its unsparing dissection of the ongoing English malaise.
Sex, sleaze, death, hypocrisy and loads of political humour.
phenomenally shrewd and clued-up
so packed with fascinating ideas
An important play, for sure, and one with echoes in the modern era
A chilling example of the heartless art of politics.
