 Donmar REAL THING
The play begins with a scene in which a wounded husband confronts his actress wife with her adultery when she returns home from a trip abroad.
Played with a lovely, light and seductive teasing quality by the excellent Stephen Dillane, the central character, Henry, is like a parody of the Stoppard of popular reputation - all witty banter, political detachment, galling poise, verbal pedantry and unease when it comes to writing about unguarded emotion.
The play has all the wit and intellectual sparkle you expect from Stoppard, but its main interest is that, for the first time, he fully acknowledges the pull of the heart and the glands.

 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tony Award for Best Revival (Play) has only been awarded since 1994.
Prior to that, plays and musicals were considered together for the Tony Award for Best Revival.
The award is given to the best non-musical play which has already appeared on Broadway in a previous production.

 Tony Award - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
While the award was founded in 1947, it was at the third awards ceremony in 1949 that the first actual Tony medallion was given to award winners.
Eligibility for the awards is restricted to shows playing on Broadway during the season in question.
On the other hand, some people feel that allowing plays and musicals which are commonly produced to be eligible as new gives them an unfair advantage, because they will have benefited from additional development time as well as additional familiarity with the Tony voters.

 Warburton Souling Play - Revival   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The credit for the revival of the play must be given to members of Bollin Morris who first performed the play in 1978.
Both plays were performed for a few years, however, in view of the many other commitments of the Morris side the Alderley Edge play was eventually dropped in favour of concentrating on the Warburton play.
As previously mentioned the revived Play was first performed in 1978 with the first performance on the 1st November at The Saracens Head.

 Studs - Paul Mercier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Though they realized that the plays would be seen by a wide variety of people, these writers attempted to find stories and characters with meaning for a hitherto largely neglected community.
The play (Mercier’s third) charts the successes and failures of a no-hope local soccer team from a working class area who, following a humiliating defeat by an unremarkable rival, are approached by a man offering to be their manager.
The play stops short of being affirmational, and it is never sentimental, but its suggestion that success or failure is as much a question of attitude and perspective was a resonant one with 1980s Irish audiences.

Measure for Measure, and the theory that Middleton revised the play for a revival in 1620; that it was this revision which Heminges and Condell included in the First Folio.
Measure that sought to clean Middleton’s fingerprints off the play as well as restore early expurgations of the text which were the likely result of Parliament's 1606 Act to Restraine the Abuses of the Players -- that sought to get an iteration closer to the play Shakespeare originally wrote.

 Sports [encyclopedia]
Throughout history, man has played games primarily as a means to meet socially with others, to display skills and physical prowess, and to entertain or offer excitement.
Many early cultures (e.g., the Aztec Indians and the ancient Greeks) incorporated religious and political elements into their games, but there was always a desire for recreational play that eventually inspired the codification of early games and the invention of new ones.
The revival of the Olympic Games led to the formation of many international bodies controlling their own amateur sports and to the creation of National Olympic Committees in countries throughout the world.

 African American Registry: A founding minister, William J. Seymour
This revival meeting extended from 1906 until 1909 and became the subject of intense investigation by more mainstream Protestants.
While the movement was largely to fracture along racial lines within a decade, the splits were in some ways perhaps less deep that the vast divide that seems often to divide many white religious denominations from their Black counterparts.
A play commemorating Seymour and the revival, Miracle on Azusa Street, is sometimes produced by Pentecostal churches both to teach their own members about their religious origins and as an outreach to those outside.

 Just War Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In the twentieth century it has undergone a revival mainly in response to the invention of nuclear weaponry and American involvement in the Vietnam war.
Since the terrorist attacks on the USA on 9/11 academics have turned their attention to just war once again with international and national conventions developing and consolidating the theoretical aspects of the conventions - just war theory has become a popular topic in International Relations, Political Science, Philosophy, Ethics, and Military History courses.
The underlying issues that ethical analysis must deal with involve the logical nature of an individual's complicity, or aiding and abetting the war machine, with greater weight being imposed on those logically closer than those logically further from the war machine in their work.

I had a ball playing with them, and once again, it was great for me and Béla because all the Revival people felt we were very successful at music; we just weren't always successful as four business partners.
We put all that together to play at the festival, and we were all working on tunes, and I thought, 'This great, the way these songs are coming together.' So, by the time we recorded Glamour and Grits, we had played most of them on stage several times.
I get to play electric guitar, which I love, although I know that once every two or three months is enough for me and the listeners.

 OFFOFFOFF theater review MIDNIGHT BRAINWASH REVIVAL play by Kirk Wood Bromley Inverse Theatre with Matthew Maher, Jeni ...
What's especially worth noting about the play is that it's written mostly in verse and in the style of a Shakespearean comedy.
The play runs through Dec. 31 on a varied holiday schedule but culminating, so we're told, in a big New Year's Eve preach-in — the "Midnight Brainwash Revival" of the title.
This is only one of several plays in town to celebrate the Y2K silly season that's upon us, but if predictions hold true, it might just be the last show you ever need to see.

 Guardian | RSC seeks to end years of toil and trouble with revival of plagued Scottish play
And, while it is Shakespeare's greatest dramatic poem, it has severe defects as a play; which is why I suspect it works best in studio spaces where it is easier to create a claustrophobic imaginative world.
He is not much helped by a neutral set by Robert Innes Hopkins that consists largely of a dark-hued wall punctuated by a single Renaissance arch.
But, although this is a good, fast, narrative production, it confirms my suspicion that the play only yields up its secrets when performed in an intimate space.

 PYGMALION revival of play by GB Shaw at London's West End Albery Theatre now closed
A large part of the fun in the new Pygmalion is that Eliza Doolittle is played by an actress straight out of drama school, and that she is surrounded by well-known actors.
Eliza is a tricky role - Shaw's version of the Cockney she speaks in her initial flower-girl condition is the most dated, and now the least convincing, element of his play - but nonetheless enchanting.
Diana Rigg, who played the role in the same theatre 23 years ago, had more high-spirited force, but was also less natural.

 About the Klezmer Revival
There was irony in the thought and deed, of modern folk musicians reviving a folk pastiche by trying to learn songs note for note from old 78s.
Klezmer bands are entertainers--at a simkha they play everything the celebrants want to hear, from rock 'n' roll to jazz to Israeli to the shmalzy old stuff.
Public klezmer concerts are also a new phenomenon, since the revival, and are themselves both demonstrations of the broadness of a band's chops, and teach-ins about a Jewish past that is foreign to most of the audience--including those who happen to be Jewish.

 ‘Whizbang’ revival of Stoppard play
As a result, the crisp, crackling, whizbang revival of Tom Stoppard’s “Jumpers” at the Brooks Atkinson will be closing a month and half early (on July 11) because the show, nominated for four Tony Awards (Best Revival, Best Direction, Best Actor, Best Actress), did not come away with a single one.
It was 1971 and Stoppard was 33 or 34 when he wrote this dazzling play, his brain cells set agog by the life, thought, and works of Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), English philosopher, mathematician, and ageless lothario.
Tom Stoppard, onetime cub reporter, later third-string drama critic on the Bristol-based Western Daily Press, says with a smile: “That was exactly my train.” And then rips downstairs and out onto the sidewalk of 42nd Street to light and draw deeply on the cigarette he’s been craving since and before God entered the conversation.

In the play, new professor Nick and his innocent wife Honey get more than they bargained for when they are invited over for a night of drinking, debauchery and digs at the home of seemingly meek fellow academic George and his husband-hating, self-loathing, guest baiting wife Martha.
The lengthy, high-voltage play hit Broadway like a thunderbolt in 1962, shocking and electrifying audiences and critics with its volatile language and corrosive portrayal of a hostile American marriage.
One member of the board called it "a filthy play." The move led to the resignation of Brown and Gassner.
