	Theatre Reading List From James Madison University
		These plays are representative of the styles, periods, and major playwrights with which a student needs to be familiar in order to appreciate the range of theatre and drama as well as embark upon a career with a solid stylistic, historical, and dramatic foundation.
		Written by the playwright whom many revere as the greatest dramatic comedy writer of all time, this play explores what happens when the head of a house believes in the lies of a charlatan religious man and how his family fights for control over their lives, property, and future.
		This 1956 play, by criticizing British society and even the Queen herself, signaled the emergence of a post-World War II group of British dramatists who came to be known as “the angry young men.” The phrase derives from the protagonist of this play, Porter, who, although university educated, comes from a working-class background.

	John Dryden (1631-1700)
		Although Dryden began his career as a playwright with the production of two or three comedies, yet it was in heroic drama that he achieved his great popularity.
		As a playwright he did not consider himself wholly a success, and expressed his dislike and contempt of the stage more than once.
		Of certain of his plays he said, "I knew they were bad enough to please, even when I wrote them." He had no sense of the ridiculous, nor any conception of a natural, sincere portrayal of human nature.

	British Plays Collection
		A list of the items in this collection -- alphabetized by playwright -- is now accessible to the public.
		As a whole, the collection emphasizes the limits and possibilities of performance rather than the play as merely text, as evidenced by the number of texts that are acting editions, some of which have been notated during a previous rehearsal process.
		Because of this emphasis on emerging playwrights and one-act plays, the British Plays Collection will be especially useful for those interested in or working on lesser-known playwrights of the twentieth century and plays intended for local production rather than the London stage.

		The British Players, originally formed in 1964 as The British Embassy Players by the late John Palmer and a small group of keen Embassy staffers, was incorporated in the District of Columbia as a non-profit 501[c]3 organisation in January 2006.
		The Group had operated under the auspices of the British Embassy for 42 years, but dwindling membership from the Embassy staff and a conversion of the Group's long-time performing space, the Embassy Rotunda, into a staff lounge made the changes necessary.
		Currently with over 250 members drawn mainly from British and Commonwealth citizens residing in the area and members of the Embassy staff, the group is considerably strengthened by the talents and support of many enthusiastic American members.

		The Playwrights are a majestic and angular indie-rock band from Bristol, England, with a strong pop edge.
		However the success of these recordings wasn’t matched by the progress of the new band, which saw a series of frustratingly shifting line-ups and personnel changes, as the right balance of personalities and instrumentation was sought.
		The Playwrights have booked their own shows, managed themselves, released their own records, maintained their own website (including the much admired photo section documenting their various adventures and nights on the town) and generally worked damn hard to make music they believe in.
