Hard Cover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Colour Plates (illustratore). First Edition. INSCRIBED ON THE FFEP BY FRANCIS WARNER. Oxford Theatre Texts 19. 80 pages clean and tight. 'Francis Warner has shown once more he is a masterful poet and dramatist. Healing Nature, his eleventh play, is his best work to date. The action centres round Pericles, the aristocratic general, commandingly played by Rob Smith, as he creates "an Athens all the world will imitate'; only to see the tide of fortune turn and the empire fall into decay. Its exploration of the dilemmas facing empire-builders and empire-losers is original, thought-provoking, and relevant. It is a compelling play which combines the grand, heroic drama of Marlowe's Tamburlaine with moments of exquisitely delicate lyric poetry and unexpected dashes of humour: The Stage. 'A real treat in poetry was to be had in the Sheldonian last night. This was the premiere performance of Healing Nature, by Francis Warner . The play is about the turmoil that the birth pangs of democracy bring to a city, and the revolution and hostilities that accompany it. Francis Warner's play was safe in the hands of the Oxford University Dramatic Society, who, under the direction of Mark Payton, put on a classically Greek production. All brought out the Shakespearian quality of the play's verse and depth of meaning. And there could have been no better setting than the magnificent amphitheatre that is the Sheldonian: Oxford Mail Portrait of Pericles by Lucy Warner Cover design by Billett Potter Size: 8vo.

Hard Cover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Colour Plates (illustratore). First Edition. INSCRIBED ON THE FFEP BY FRANCIS WARNER. Oxford Theatre Texts 12. 107 pages clean and tight. 'Francis Warner's play in celebration of the quincentenary of Frangois I's birth in 1494 is an act of courage.It opens in 1515, on the king's return from fighting the Swiss, and takes us to his death in 1547. Along the way, we meet not only the king himself, but also figures at least equal in prestige: Charles V, King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor, Clement Marot, Leonardo da Vinci, Marguerite de Navarre.The play maintains a consistently coherent line. Tim Prentki, as director, deserves his share of the credit for carrying forward this complex tale. We hear of Frangois as king, warrior, husband, lover/philanderer, patron of the arts, huntsman, opponent of the Sorbonne, creator of institutions free from the domination of the Church, religious bigot, and many things more.The whole is constructed on the basis of serious research into the period and the characters concerned.' Oxford Magazine. 'It is a substantial play, in verse, which presents an intriguing picture of the Renaissance court. Francis's patronage of the arts appears to spring as much from interests of state and princely one-upmanship as from his much-vaunted love of beauty. But it also provokes one of the play's most poignant scenes, the death of Leonardo da Vinci.' Church Times. Cover portrait of Frangois 1 by Titian. Photo: Musee du Louvre, Paris.

Hard Cover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Colour Plates (illustratore). First Edition. INSCRIBED ON THE FFEP BY FRANCIS WARNER. Oxford Theatre Texts 11. 95 pages clean and tight. 'In his new play. Virgil and Caesar, the completion of a serial epic entitled AGORA, Francis Warner explores the dramatic tension between worldly rule, the pragmatism of politics, and the vision of the poet as idealist. Staged in the uniquely fitting setting of Oxford University's Convocation House, the production by Tim Prentki and Dominic Shellard exploited the limited space of fan-vaulted beauty to fine advantage. The play, as it explored the relationships between the machinations of worldly power, the wooing of the army, the detecting of subterfuge from the judiciary, the temptation of tyrannical power, the duties of family life, and the seductive disasters of succumbing to lust, unfolded in masterly fashion against the background of the philosophical and other views of the poets. Warner brings to our attention the perennial conflicts that are as timeless as they are timely. The command of English through poetic imagery must rank as the very best. Here we have laid before us the perennial crises of humanity dressed in classical clothes yet intensely of today. How valuable such rare and important plays are, being written in times when not only biological species are under threat around the world, but also cultural continuity itself.' The Stage.

Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket designed by James Gillison. Green cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Previous owner's inscription on ffep. 322 pages clean and tight. New British Drama in Performance on the London Stage: 1970 to 1985 is primarily a study of the eight dramatists who hae either sustained or achieved major status in the British theatre over the last decade and a half: Beckett, Pinter, Stoppard, Storey, Ayckbourn, Hare, Griffiths, Bond. Beckett and Pinter already by 1970 had established reputations but their respective styles were to undergo remarkable transformations that in 1969 could not have been readily anticipated. Storey and Griffiths proved to be conspicuously dramatists of the Seven- ties, discovering a personal style with rapidity and as rapidly pursuing it to the limits of its capacity for expression. The remaining four have over the last fifteen years come fully into their powers and have begun to undergo that process of change and renewal that has made Beckett and Pinter continuing luminaries in our theatre. Eight dramatists do-not constitute the full spectrum of newo playwriting, however. 1)r Cave's exploration of their works broadens out in each chapter either into comparisons with recent plays on similar themes that are handled in more conventional formats or which attempt a different kind of innovation, or into a debate about current developments in the handling of a particular genre or style, such as , the nature of the history play or form in contemporary comedy. A significant feature of new plays in production in this period has been the close relation between the dramatist and the actor (several of the playwrights under discussion have become directors of' their own work); plays are in consequence examined here from the standpoint of their initial London productions, especially in cases where an actor's particular technique has contributed immeasurably to the communication of the play's meaning in performance. This volume is as much a celebration of the art of' the actor as of' the dramatist. Over one hundred and sixty new plays by some forty dramatists are discussed or commented on and the work of' seventy actors and actresses. Size: 8vo.
