Backstage and Beyond - The Early Years

Seiten: 106
Autor: Elizabeth Sharland

A Guide to the British Invasion of Broadway Including Walks through New York's Theatreland

During the twentieth century many theatrical adventurers from Britain have made their mark on Broadway. In this fascinating guide Elizabeth Sharland follows on from her best-selling book on historic theatrical London with a similar approach to the theatrical heritage of New York.

Visit the places where the British legends, such as the Oliviers, Sir Noel Coward and the great impresarios, were wined and dined when they were staying in New York.

Read about the famous Algonquin Hotel which British actors still call home. Explore the elegance, the Art Deco, the class, the ambience of old-style theatreland of Broadway. As Robert Lindsay, the actor, recently said, "We've lost the sense of greatness. Olivier was great. That's all gone now, because of the way we think and what we watch." This book endeavours to keep those great memories alive and records those early days when the first British actors went to New York, and when the transfer of a play to Broadway was something special.
