Synopsis

In "Mr Punch's Pocket Ibsen," F. Anstey creatively distills a selection of Henrik Ibsen's most acclaimed dramas, presenting them through the playful and satirical lens of Punch, the traditional British puppeteer. Anstey's sharp wit and comedic style transform Ibsen's intense explorations of societal norms, personal identity, and moral dilemmas into accessible miniatures that maintain the essence of the original works while inviting humor and reflection. The book functions as both a tribute to Ibsen's literary genius and a commentary on Victorian society, showcasing how humor can engage with serious themes in a meaningful way. F. Anstey, known for his contributions to humor and satire during the late Victorian era, was influenced by the rapidly changing cultural landscape of his time. His experiences with theatrical productions and a penchant for parody likely fueled his desire to reinterpret Ibsen'Äôs work. By drawing upon the conventional satire of Punch magazine, Anstey crafts a unique convergence of high culture and popular entertainment that serves to both honor and upend the conventions of both Ibsen and the Victorian audience. For scholars, theater enthusiasts, and casual readers alike, "Mr Punch's Pocket Ibsen" offers a delightful intersection of humor and drama, making it an essential addition to any literary collection. Anstey's novel approach not only celebrates Ibsen's legacy but also provides an entertaining way for newcomers to engage with important cultural dialogues, ensuring the relevance of these timeless themes.

    When We Dead Awaken (1899) is the last play by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. Dreamlike and highly symbolic, the play charts the dissolution of sculptor Arnold Rubek's marriage to Maia, her flirtation with Ulfheim, and his involvement with the mysterious Irene, his former model. The tensions rise between the characters as they climb higher and higher into the Norwegian mountains. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

    An anthology of ten plays embodying the Russian literary movement that began in the late twentieth century. The plays selected for this anthology reflect the issues and styles typical of the new wave of dramatic writing in Russia. New drama flourished (almost) exclusively in small spaces, often in dingy basements that employed and accommodated small numbers of people. The big theaters largely turned a blind eye to what was happening on small stages and in backrooms in playhouses, libraries, and community centers in a few chosen hot spots around Russia: primarily Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Togliatti. In many cases, they took actively hostile stances toward it. This would change, however. And by the beginning of the century’s second decade, new drama was threatening to become a mainstream phenomenon. Not every theater staged plays associated with new drama, but almost every one began staging plays influenced by the themes, methods, and language of the new drama movement. Featuring work from Yury Klavdiev, Olga Mukhina, Pavel Pryazhko, Vasily Sigarev, Maksym Kurochkin, Mikhail Durnenkov, Vyacheslav Durnenkov, Yaroslava Pulinovich, Yelena Gremina, and Maxim Osipov.“Few people know more about what is happening on the Moscow scene than John Freedman (including few Russians). As Moscow Times theater critic throughout the post-Soviet period John could well have seen more theatrical productions in Russia than anyone else. I can’t imagine anyone who would do a better job.” —Blair A. Ruble, Director, Program on Global Sustainability & Resilience, Woodrow Wilson Center“While other existing volumes focus on 18th, 19th, and early 20th century Russian drama, Freedman’s edition would present the unique and important contributions of the new generation of Russian writers portraying the realities and experiences of a post-Soviet generation. John has carefully selected a representative cohort of ten of the most visible, productive, and influential of these writers for the volume.” —Thomas J. Garza, University Distinguished Teaching Associate Professor, University of Texas at Austin
