Topic: Juvenilia


In the News (Sun 27 Dec 09)

  
  Kenyon College - MacLeod's <em>Juvenilia</em> comes home to Kenyon
Juvenilia, written by James E. Michael Playwright-in-Residence and Associate Professor of Drama Wendy MacLeod, may have premiered in New York City, but the play--which grew out of an exercise in MacLeod's Introduction to the Theater class--was conceived in Gambier.
Taking its title from a Latin term referring to the early, immature works of an artist, Juvenilia is set in a dorm at fictional Jubilee College, a small liberal-arts institution not unlike Kenyon.
The school motto, Puberes ex pueris, which translates roughly as "Adults out of children," suggests the arc of the story: in the secure incubator that is college life, the characters each search for emotional balance, juggling emergent sexuality, maturity, and morality.

 Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - Juvenilia - 12/07/03
Those most likely to enjoy Wendy MacLeod's new play at Playwrights Horizons are those young enough to readily identify with the academic and romantic trials and tribulations of its college student characters; older audiences might find their enjoyment of the subject matter accompanied with a fair amount of frustration.
Juvenilia doesn't go for many laughs in these moments, but if it did, it would likely be even funnier; despite the serious tone interweaving throughout the play, it is primarily a comedy.
Juvenilia is no timeless work; once you've gone through in your own life what its characters experience, you may find that MacLeod's jokes and revelations don't carry far beyond the walls of the theater.

 Channel4.com - SlashMusic - Juvenilia
More than a simple CD single, Liz Phair's JUVENILIA begins with "Jealousy", the second single from her sophomore album, 1994's WHIP-SMART.
One of Phair's best songs, "Jealousy" combines a throbbing, hypnotic tune constantly on the verge of collapse with searing, angry lyrics about the singer's inability to control her emotions-even as she acknowledges that they are at odds with reality.
JUVENILIA may not be essential, but it is undeniably compelling.

"The Juvenilia" is a collection of Jane Austen's early work--scholars estimate that Austen produced the Juvenilia between the ages of 12 and 18.
Austen edited and collected these early stories later in life, and of course, to the Austen scholar, "The Juvenilia" remains an invaluable testament to the genius of Austen, but, furthermore, the stories also stand as evidence for the development of one of the world's greatest writers.
Jane Austen fans will love the sprightly, unrestrained wit of her juvenilia; 'Love and Freindship' in particular is a delightful romp, wickedly satirising the 'novels of sensibility' popular at the time.

 Juvenilia: review on TheaterMania.com
Though two actors portray lizards in Edward Albee's Seascape, Wendy MacLeod's Juvenilia may be the first play ever in which an actual lizard upstages four hyperkinetic actors.
It's accurate to say that Juvenilia is eventful, what with all of the shouted arguments, the lacerating vulgarities, the frantic make-out sessions, and the many brewskis tossed back.
Not lacking in Juvenilia, however, is authenticity of acting.
