  Patrick Hamilton (dramatist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick Hamilton (March 17, 1904 - September 23, 1962) was an English playwright and novelist.
The Midnight Bell (1929) is based upon Hamilton's falling in love with a prostitute, and was later published along with The Siege of Pleasure (1932) and The Plains of Cement (1934) as the semi-autobiographical trilogy 20,000 Streets Under the Sky (1935).
Hamilton had begun to drink heavily while still a relatively young man. After a declining career and depression, he died in 1962 of cirrhosis of the liver and kidney failure, in Sheringham, Norfolk.

 The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Theory of the Theatre, by Clayton Hamilton
The dramatist, therefore, must be endowed not only with the literary sense, but also with a clear eye for the graphic and plastic elements of pictorial effect, a sense of rhythm and of music, and a thorough knowledge of the art of acting.
Since the dramatist must, at the same time and in the same work, harness and harmonise the methods of so many of the arts, it would be uncritical to centre studious consideration solely on his dialogue and to praise him or condemn him on the literary ground alone.
The dependence of the dramatist upon his audience may be illustrated by the history of many important plays, which, though effective in their own age, have become ineffective for later generations, solely because they were founded on certain general principles of conduct in which the world has subsequently ceased to believe.

Hamilton suggests a woman possessed by memories that can only be exorcised by revelation; and, as she describes her experience of sexual cruising with Sebastian, culminating in his cannibalised death, she relives it with burning intensity.
Hamilton is impressive, too, in her account of a competent woman whose life - and belief system - collapse nightmarishly around her, though her raw emotional anguish can't conceal the implausibility of the play's climax.
Hamilton has the quick intelligence of the survivor, but nothing much is peering from her ankles and elbows, least of all wantonness.

But as Alexander Hamilton had told him, "No other man can sufficiently unite the public opinion, or can give the requisite weight to T the office, in the commencement of the government." The early years of his presidency were devoted to the establishment of sound precedents for enduring government.
He was also a great supporter of the idea that any person, no matter how lowly he or she may seem, has the potential for nobility.
Hamilton called his opponent "a dangerous man and one who ought not to be trusted with the reins of government." Burr at lost declared, "These things must have an end." At Weehawken, on a July morning in 1804, each man fired once; Burr's bullet reached its mark.

The origins of ancient theater stem largely from rites associated with religion, which dramatically depict the tensions and relationships between nature, the divine, and humankind.
Film, or the cinema, it might be argued, represents the culmination of the tradition of the theater, and as such absorbs and transmits as many kinds of music as possible in its portrayal of human emotions, and in its tone painting of psychological portraits.
