Reading "All that Glittered" is like listening to a chatty fried who's a theater devotee with an encyclopedic memory. Mordden sometimes wanders off on piquant tangents—theatrical, political or social—but always returns to his key narrative. His enthusiastic chronicle reminds us how potent theater can be. You may not always agree with him, but the debate will be lively ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
From the late 1920s to late 1950s, the Broadway theatre was America's cultural epicenter. Television didn't exist and movies were novelties. Entertainment took the form of literature, music, and theatre. During this golden age of Broadway, actors and actresses became legends and starred in now classic plays. Laurence Olivier, Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontaine were names to remember, etching plays into memory as they brought the words of Tennessee Williams or Eugene O'Neill to life. Joseph Cotton romanced Katherine Hepburn in Philip Barry's "The Philadelphia Story "while Laurette Taylor became "The Glass Menagerie's" Amanda Wingfield. Frederic March, Florence Eldridge, Jason Robards Jr. and Bradford Dillman showed us life among the ruins in "Long Day's Journey Into Night. "In "All That Glittered," Ethan Mordden, long one of Broadway's best chroniclers, recreates the fascinating lost world of its golden age. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
