rosencrantz and guildenstern tom stoppard

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a play which, as it were, takes place in the wings of Hamlet, and finds both humour and poignancy in the situation of the ill-fated attendant lords. The National Theatre production in April 1967 made Tom Stoppard's reputation virtually overnight. Its wit, stagecraft and verbal verve remain as exhilarating as they were then and the play has become a contemporary classic.

The plays in this collection reveal in combination the ''frivolous'' and ''serious'' aspects of Tom Stoppard''s talent: his sense of fun, his sense of theatre, his sense of the absurd, and his gifts for parody and satire. The author rounds off his brief introduction, giving the genesis of each piece, with the comment: ''The role of the theatre is much debated (by almost nobody, of course), but the thing defines itself in practice first and foremost as a recreation. This seems satisfactory''.Leading off is The Real Inspector Hound, the ultimate country-house whodunnit; Dirty Linen moves a Whitehall farce to Parliament Square; Dogg''s Hamlet, Cahoot''s Macbeth subverts Shakespeare; and After Magritte explains the inexplicable.

The new and updated edition of ''Tom Stoppard''s extraordinary, epic drama of politics, persecution and protest in twentieth-century Czechoslovakia'' (Evening Standard).Rock ''n'' Roll spans the years from 1968 to 1990 from the double perspective of Prague, where a rock ''n'' roll band comes to symbolise resistance to the Communist regime, and of Cambridge, where the verities of love and death are shaping the lives of three generations in the family of a Marxist philosopher.Rock ''n'' Roll premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in June 2006. It was revived at Hampstead Theatre, London, in December 2023. This edition includes an introduction by the author.''The remarkable thing about the play is that it touches on so many themes, registers its lament at the erosion of freedom in our society and yet leaves you cheered by its wit, buoyancy and belief in the human spirit.''

V originální adaptaci hry Ference Molnára Hra na zámku se s Tomem Stoppardem ocitáme na palubě zaoceánského parníku, na nějž právě nasedli úspěšní autoři operet Turai a Gal spolu se skladatelem Adamem Adamem. Trojice se chystá překvapit své herce, divu Natašu Navrátilovou a pelichajícího donchuána Reného Sledě, kteří se nalodili už dřív - a zastihne je ve chvíli, kdy René vyznává Nataše lásku. Aby zachránil situaci, vymyslí Turai ďábelský plán s cílem přesvědčit Adama, že zaslechnutá slova byla ve skutečnosti Reného trapným pokusem o divadelní hru. Obstojí tato křehká konstrukce? Smíří se Nataša s Adamem? Přestane René Sleď obtěžovat okolí svou nepříliš vyvinutou inteligencí? A jak do toho všeho zapadá stevard Dvorníček, muž mnoha talentů, pohybující se na křehké hranici mezi genialitou a šílenstvím? Lehce naivistický příběh klasického střihu vyšperkoval Stoppard množstvím situačního a slovního humoru, jeho typické gejzíry ironických bonmotů a jemná ironizace způsobu samotné psaní divadelních textů.

Britský dramatik, scénárista, divadelní a filmový kritik Tom Stoppard je u nás dobře známý. Do povědomí českého diváka se zapsal na našich jevištích uvedenými hrami Rosenkrantz a Guildenstern jsou mrtvi, Travestie, To pravé či Arkádie. Filmoví fanoušci jej zase znají jako spoluscénáristu takových filmů jako Brazil, Zamilovaný Shakespeare nebo Enigma. Jeho hry i scénáře se často dotýkají možností vzpoury pro totalitnímu společenskému systému, s nímž má i své osobní zkušenosti - narodil se v roce 1937 ve Zlíně jako Tomáš Sträussler, jeho rodina musela uprchnout před nacisty a do Anglie se po nejrůznějších peripetiích (život v Singapuru a Darjeelingu, otec zahynul při plavbě do Austrálie) dostala až v roce 1946. Života v totalitě se dotýká i Stoppardova hra Rock'n'Roll z roku 2006, jejíž česká adaptace měla premiéru v Národním divadle 22. února 2007. Autor se v ní vrací do doby české historie v letech 1968 - 1990, kdy "bigbít" nebyl obyčejnou zábavou, ale stal se bránou ke svobodnému životu, k "životu v pravdě", a kdy se proces s lidmi kolem skupiny Plastic People of the Universe stal nakonec impulsem ke vzniku Charty 77.

The Incredible Radical Liberal Jumpers are a team of acrobatic professors of philosophy, whose absurd gymnastic displays reflect a bewildering world where logic has confounded belief in moral absolutes. In this dark, exuberant comedy, Stoppard brilliantly parodies the philosophy lecture, the detective thriller, the comedy of manners and the Whitehall farce, to follow a philosopher''s doomed flight to prove the existence of God in the face of an indifferent universe.This is the definitive text of Tom Stoppard''s celebrated comedy.''A dazzling, hilarious and honestly benevolent work, which creates a dramatic structure from a forbidding diversity of materials.''

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Leopoldstadt was the old, crowded Jewish quarter of Vienna. But Hermann Merz, a manufacturer and baptised Jew married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world. Gathered in the Merz apartment in a fashionable part of the city, Hermann’s extended family are at the heart of Tom Stoppard’s epic yet intimate drama. By the time we have taken leave of them, Austria has passed through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and - for Austrian Jews - the Holocaust in which 65,000 of them were murdered.

Dvacet let po vydání výboru Tom Stoppard: Hry (2002), který obsahoval do té doby nejznámější tituly tohoto světoznámého dramatika českého původu (*1937, Zlín), vychází v Institutu umění - Divadelním ústavu druhý svazek jeho her. Ten spolu s připravovaným svazkem třetím, který představí bohatý svět dramatikových pozdějších děl, završí české vydání kompletní Stoppardovy původní tvorby psané pro divadlo. Hry II zahrnují texty napsané a uvedené do roku 1989. Od Stoppardova raného díla Volný jako pták přes intelektuálně hravé až bláznivé komedie Podle Magritta a Špinavé prádlo a Nová země se přesuneme ke hrám, jež jsou odrazem dramatikova zájmu o existenciální rozměr rozděleného světa studené války - Skokani, EGHDF, Noc a den a Dvojitý agent. Ani v nich však nepostrádáme Stoppardův smysl pro absurdno (ve svých počátcích býval - spíše mylně - k absurdním dramatikům přiřazován) a slovní gagy, obdivuhodnou lehkost, s jakou dokáže v rozměru divadelního představení zasvětit diváky do nejsložitějších problémů soudobého světa i (jako například v Umělci sestupujícím ze schodů) dělat si legraci z umění 20. století. Ve hrách Noc a den a Dvojitý agent se navíc v jeho dramatice začínají prosazovat silné ženské postavy a s nimi emocionalita, kterou rané Stoppardovy hry zdánlivě popíraly.

‘Tom Stoppard’s Travesties is witty, playful and wise. Forty years on, it is starting to look timeless as well.’ Sunday Times‘It is a champagne cocktail, compounded of a balletic nimbleness of invention, a bewildering intricacy of design which reaches the sublime heights where mathematics merge with poetry, and the audacious juggling of a master conjuror.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘A dazzling pyrotechnical feat that combines Wildean pastiche, political history, artistic debate, spoof reminiscence, and song-and-dance in marvellously judicious proportions. The text itself is a Joycean web of literary allusions; yet it also radiates sheer intellectual joie de vivre, as if Stoppard were delightedly communicating the fruits of his own researches.’ GuardianTravesties was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in June 1974.

Author and illustrator F. Valentine Hooven III presents the official biography of the renowned homosexual artist, Tom of Finland.“Long iconic and even formative for American gay society, Tom’s well-endowed and sexually charged imagery is now hitting the global mainstream.” —NBC News With a foreword by Jean Paul Gaultier, an extensive history, and provocative photos and illustrations, this illustrated biography brings to life the story of the icon whose erotic depictions of men influenced gay culture, pop culture, and many prominent artists, including Robert Mapplethorpe and Bruce Weber. The text was completed just a few months before the death of the artist and he was interviewed at length for it—making this book the only fully approved biography of the legend responsible for creating the muscled, mustachioed gay archetype of the 1960s and ’70s. Tom of Finland (born Tuoko Laaksonen, 1920–1991) was an iconic and ground-breaking artist who rose to cult status in the international queer community and then beyond for his work celebrating the male figure and masculinity during a time when being homosexual was still taboo.

As a figurehead for the literary humanities, and a dramatist whose plays feature fairies, ghosts, and spirits, Shakespeare may not be the first author that comes to mind when thinking about science. Tom Rutter shows, however, that in his plays and poetry Shakespeare made detailed use of the knowledge and theories of the cosmos, the natural world, and human biology that were available to him. These range from astronomical and anatomical ideas derived from medieval scholars, Islamic philosophers, and ancient Greek and Roman authorities, through to the challenges issued to those earlier models by more recent figures such as Copernicus and Vesalius. Shakespeare''s treatment of these materials was informed by the poetic and dramatic media in which he worked; the dialogic nature of drama enabled an approach that could be provisional, exploratory, and tolerant of uncertainty and contradiction. Shakespeare made the early modern playhouse a venue for the production of scientific understanding through performance, illusion, and the creative use of space.As well as surveying current scholarship that contextualizes Shakespeare''s work in relation to histories of meteorology, matter theory, humoral physiology, racialization, mathematics, and more, Shakespeare and Science offers detailed original readings of a variety of texts including the Histories, Hamlet, ...
