The Piano Lesson (Drama, Plume)

August Wilson

Taschenbuch

August Wilson has already given the American theater such spell-binding plays about the black experience in 20th-century America as " Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, " and the Pulitzer Prize-winning, " Fences. " In his second Pulitzer Prize-winner, " The Piano Lesson, " Wilson has fashioned his most haunting and dramatic work yet. At the heart of the play stands the ornately carved upright piano which, as the Charles family's prized, hard-won possession, has been gathering dust in the parlor of Berniece Charles's Pittsburgh home. When Boy Willie, Berniece's exuberant brother, bursts into her life with his dream of buying the same Mississippi land that his family had worked as slaves, he plans to sell their antique piano for the hard cash he needs to stake his future. But Berniece refuses to sell, clinging to the piano as a reminder of the history that is their family legacy. This dilemma is the real "piano lesson, " reminding us that blacks are often deprived both of the symbols of their past and of opportunity in the present.

A Tempest (TCG Translations)

Aimé Césaire

Taschenbuch

" Cesaire's " Tempest, " in translation by Richard Miller, is a sprightly and song-filled enchantment. The luminous intelligence of Mr. Cesaire's meditation on the absurdities of colonialism shines through the antics of the bewildered characters. " -" New York Times" " The weapon of poetry may be Cesaire's greatest gift to a modern world still searching for freedom. As one of the last truly great 'universalists' of the twentieth century, he has had a hand in shaping or critiquing many of the major ideologies and movements of the modern world. In his own words: ' Poetic knowledge is born in the great silence of scientific knowledge. '" -from the Introduction Cesaire's rich and insightful adaptation of " The Tempest" draws on contemporary Caribbean society, the African-American experience and African mythology to raise questions about colonialism, racism and their lasting effects. A I M E C E S A I R E was a world-renowned poet, essayist and dramatist, whose best known works include " Notebook of a Return to My Native Land, " " The Tragedy of King Christophe" and " A Season in the Congo. " He was the founding editor of " Tropiques, " which was instrumental in establishing the use of surrealism as a political weapon. He co-formulated the concept of "negritude, " which urges black Africans to reject assimilation and cultivate consciousness of their racial qualities and heritage. Cesaire held a number of government positions in his native Martinique, including that of mayor of Fort-de-France. Cesaire died in 2008. R I C H A R D M I L L E R has translated many books, both nonfiction and fiction, including works by Roland Barthes, Brassa? and Albert Camus, as well as poetry, many articles and a number of plays. Among his more recent translations are " Scent" by Annick Le Guerer and " Beethoven's Ninth" by Esteban Buch, which was published in 2002. He lives in Paris.

The Politics of Adaptation: Contemporary African Drama and Greek Tragedy (Cross/Cultures - Readings in the Post/Colonial Literatures and Cultures in English, Band 165)

Astrid Weyenberg

Gebundene Ausgabe

This book explores contemporary African adaptations of classical Greek tragedies. Six South African and Nigerian dramatic texts - by Yael Farber, Mark Fleishman, Athol Fugard, Femi Osofisan, and Wole Soyinka - are analysed through the thematic lens of resistance, revolution, reconciliation, and mourning. The opening chapters focus on plays that mobilize Greek tragedy to inspire political change, discussing how Sophocles' heroine Antigone is reconfigured as a freedom fighter and how Euripides' Dionysos is transformed into a revolutionary leader. The later chapters shift the focus to plays that explore the costs and consequences of political change, examining how the cycle of violence dramatized in Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy acquires relevance in post-apartheid South Africa, and how the mourning of Euripides' Trojan Women resonates in and beyond Nigeria. Throughout, the emphasis is on how playwrights, through adaptation, perform a cultural politics directed at the Europe that has traditionally considered ancient Greece as its property, foundation, and legitimization. Van Weyenberg additionally discusses how contemporary African reworkings of Greek tragedies invite us to reconsider how we think about the genre of tragedy and about the cultural process of adaptation. Against George Steiner's famous claim that tragedy has died, this book demonstrates that Greek tragedy holds relevance today. But it also reveals that adaptations do more than simply keeping the texts they draw on alive: through adaptation, playwrights open up a space for politics. In this dynamic between adaptation and pre-text, the politics of adaptation is performed.
