Europe on Stage
For any play originating in a different culture and society to be favourably received in English translation, timing and other factors of reception are often as important as the purely linguistic aspects. This book focuses on the problems of reception and translation into English encountered by European playwrights now regularly staged at British theatres, such as Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov, Brecht, Anouilh, Lorca and Pirandello, among others. Introduced by discussions highlighting different approaches to translation in general and the difficulties inherent in the translation of drama in particular, the book concludes by looking at what is lost in translation and the means by which adaptions and new versions may help to restore the balance.
Spelvärlden
Folket är lyckligt. Alla spelar meningsfulla spel som håller igång samhället och som ger starka upplevelser. Livet är ett äventyr i en värld av spelande. Robert Sonning af Ingenjör skickas av Nordiska rådet för att undersöka vad som stör spelvärlden i Umeå. Huvudmisstänkta är naturterroristerna som inte vill att naturen ska mättas med teknik. Rådet är berett att ta till vilka blodiga metoder som helst för att försvara sin makt och Robert har inte råd att göra minsta misstag. Han inkvarteras hos familjen Karlsson i Umeå i deras intelligenta hus. Insatserna ökar till en existentiell nivå när spelvärlden och naturen blir medvetna motspelare. En roman om en inte alltför avlägsen hållbar framtid. De som bor där skulle aldrig vilja byta med oss. Handlingen är ljus och humoristisk, snarare än svart och dyster, och speglas av referenser till Mozarts opera Trollflöjten.

The British Musical Theatre: 1915-1984
From the pre-Gilbert and Sullivan 1860s to the 1980s, this important reference surveys more than a century of British light musical theatre, including its writers and composers. Ganzl provides a wealth of information on the book, lyrics, and music of over 800 London musicals, including contemporary reviews, cast lists, performances, plus pertinent notes gleaned from a study of surviving scores and libretti. Volume 1 traces the development of the genre between 1865 and 1914, describing its roots in burlesque and opera-buffe, and discussing the comic opera tradition and the Gilbert and Sullivan partnership, the flowering of the so-called musical comedy under George Edwardes, and the important influence of the British musical theatre around the world, particularly in America. Volume 2 covers, among other topics, the reciprocal influences on the British musical theatre of the American style, the advent of the dance-and-laughter musicals of the 1930s, the rock operas of the 1970s, and the subsequent development of the modern British musical in its second period of international prominence, highlighted by such hits as Evita and Cats."
