Little Theater and American Avant Garde: Crash Course Theater #40
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- In the early 20th century United States, big melodramatic productions were on Broadway, and everywhere across the country. Which inevitably led to an Avant-Garde backlash. An interesting part of the backlash was Little Theater, a movement that embraced smaller, more emotional, and less profitable forms of drama. One of Little Theater's most notable practitioners, Eugene O'Neill changed the theatrical landscape with groundbreaking plays like The Iceman Cometh and Long Day's Journey into Night.

I live about a mile from Eugene O'Neill's childhood home and the location for "Long Days Journey" in New London, and down the street from that property still stands an Italian anarchist community center where they used to put on community opera and anarchist or socialist plays starting around the turn of the century. I can't help but think that the Italian anarchists there had a big influence on both O'Neill's writing and the Provincetown Players. I can almost guarantee that the "people in the movement..." and the location "on the coast" refered to in "The Iceman Cometh" are based on the people at that community center. It looks just like a VFW hall. There was a large Italian anarchist commune in that neighborhood from the 1890's all the way until the 1950s. All of the other buildings around it were torn down in a famous eminent domain dispute during the 90s, but that building somehow still stands there abandoned and surrounded by overgrown plots of land that the government never used after the rest of the neighborhood was destroyed. I thought that was an interesting piece of context for this video.
I remember reading Triffles on school! It's a good play and very compelling.
My sister got to play the role of the stage manager in Thornton Wilder's “Our Town” her senior year. She had so much fun with it, man I wish they filmed it so we can relive the memories.
“Boooring”- Mike. Puns, he’s got them!
The more I think about it, the more I sympathize with the Minnie character in _Trifles_ .
Her husband did more than kill the bird 🐦, he killed _Minnie_ , too, as his cruelty destroyed her, killing that bird really did it.
Cool the USA theater (when it finally got good) had active female playwrights and female focus stories.
... Timing! All through this. Good job, Mike (and writers!)
Personally, I think O'Neill's masterpiece is his civil-war era rewriting of The Oresteia. It's absolutely fabulous. And there's a movie version too!
so excited for next week!
*The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me!*
7:00 Wait, Friends was written way back then? Guess no one told me life was gonna be this way...

I love your React
Hey can you make a series on maths
YAASSSS!
"American theater took a long time to get … good." [But popular with the public] "New plays we want to talk about in depth came out [presumably finally "good"]." [Rejected by audiences and critics alike] Hmm ...
please make a video on the Great Rebellion in India
So epic theater in two weeks?
Great stuff. Why do all the historical characters have blue faces and look sickly.?
Still more alive than Welsh theatre
Yeezys
You forgot Susan glaspell who was Eugene O'Neil mentor I'm disappointed
N. J. Saroff 6:55, 7:24
I agree with O’neil, America is a failure
Nice exercise of your free speech.
Why not 3rd 🥳
15th to comment, lets get it
America is full of Slow Learners.
I am no longer supporting Patreon because of their banning of personalities that they disagree with. If there is another service that you use, let me know.
the 'hit the like button' thing points to the dislike button
First
Second too tf
Don't apply your modern morals and sensibilities to what isn't modern.
You can't say a play is not good for no reason other than that it has racist content. It is certainly possible that each and every performance was bad, but it should not be taken for granted that such was the case merely because they featured something that is now viewed with displeasure.
With every episode of this series I watch, the more I come to despise modern theater, especially the playwrights. A dungsweeper would be more useful to society.
Eric Taysom why do you feel this way?
First yay!
First!
