Miguel de Cervantes's experimentation with theatricality is frequently tied to the notion of revelation and disclosure of hidden truths. Drawing the Curtain showcases the elements of theatricality that characterize Cervantes's prose and analyses the ways in which he uses theatricality in his own literary production.Bringing together the works of well-known scholars, who draw from a variety of disciplines and theoretical approaches, this collection demonstrates how Cervantes exploits revelation and disclosure to create dynamic dramatic moments that surprise and engage observers and readers. Hewing closely to Peter Brook's notion of the bare or empty stage, Esther Fernndez and Adrienne L. Martn argue that Cervantes's omnipresent concern with theatricality manifests not only in his drama but also in the myriad metatheatrical instances dispersed throughout his prose works. In doing so, Drawing the Curtain sheds light on the ways in which Cervantes forces his readers to engage with themes that are central to his life and works, including love, freedom, truth, confinement, and otherness.

"Historien om Betty Nansen bliver ingen idealiseret heltindehistorie. Dertil var hun for kantet. Hun kunne være indtagende impulsiv og vittig, men også tyrannisk, egenrådig og arrogant. Betty Nansen nåede i overordentlig grad sit mål. Hun vandt hurtigt frem i første række i sit fag – inden hun fyldte 30 blev hun udråbt til tidens nye kvindeideal på scenen, og i mere end 25 år ledede hun sit eget teater i Frederiksberg Allé og var samtidigt dette teaters førende skuespillerinde og instruktør. Desuden deltog hun med stor myndighed i organisatorisk arbejde og i den teaterpolitiske debat. Men hun måtte kæmpe hårdt for sin position, og kampen var ikke uden omkostninger. Det var dengang ekstra svært for en kvinde at slå sig igennem i et mandsdomineret samfund med sine ’kvindelige’ egenskaber i behold."Kela Kvam fortæller i bogen her fra 1997 om en af dansk teaterhistories største skikkelser; skuespiller og teaterdirektør Betty Nansen. I bogen beskriver hun bl.a., hvilken indflydelse Betty Nansen havde på dansk teater, på den måde en skuespiller optrådte på og på datidens syn på kvinder i teatrets verden.idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlKela Kvam (1931-2019) var en dansk forfatter og teaterhistoriker, som blandt andet var ansat på Københavns Universitet og Syddansk Universitet.

MAN SKAL IKKE LADE SIG SLÅ UD AF KENDSGERNINGERNE har været teateret RIDDERSALENs motto fra Jytte Abildstrøm tog over i 1970. Så det kan passende være opfordringen til læseren af de mange beretninger om teateret, som er samlet i denne bog – beretninger som er skrevet af dem, der var med. Der er god grund til at spærre øjnene op, når en broget flok af RIDDERSALENs nuværende og tidligere medarbejdere fortæller om en hverdag, som tit er en fest, om en leg, som også er en kamp, om forhindringer, glæder, sorger, samvær, opture og nedture. Om kænguru-stylter, dukketeater, italienske klovner, fjællebodsteater og busturnéer, trylleri og kammeratskab. Det er også historierne om hvorfor og hvordan de mange skuespillere, musikere, folk på værksted og kontor mv overhovedet kom til RIDDERSALEN – og hvorfor de blev der. Men det er nok først og fremmest en fælles beretning om et enestående fællesskab, som ofte har trodset kendsgerningerne og ikke alene skabt herlige forestillinger, men også i miljøåret 1987 gik sammen om fænomenet ’Ånd i Hånd’ og et økologisk hus i tilknytning til RIDDERSALEN.Bogen er et festskrift – en hyldest til et teater, hvor drømmene kommer til live på scenen – gerne på trods af kendsgerningerne.

Lige siden Skuespillerforeningen begyndte sin virksomhed 1879 har det at yde økonomisk støtte til medlemmerne i form af legater været i fokus. Desuden, fra 1927, at kunne tilbyde ældre medlemmer en fri eller billig bolig i det skønne hus på Bispebjerg. Men virkeliggørelsen af denne vision hviler dels på mange generøse donationer, dels på flere spændende initiativer ude i byen, hvor hele indtægten er kommet foreningen til gode – og ikke mindst dens Hus, som siden sin oprettelse har krævet både kapital og knofedt. Selv om Robert og Klaus Neiiendam i deres skildring af foreningens historie 1879-1969 kommer ind på en del af disse velgørenheds- initiativer, der skulle skaffe penge i kassen, er hér alligevel en kort og mere samlet historisk opsummering, som et levende ”bevis” på foreningens dynamiske fremdrift og urokkelige tro på sin projekt. Det er imponerende og bevægende at læse om, hvor mange skuespillere, sangere, dansere, musikere, teatermalere, instruktører m.fl., der har stillet deres arbejdskraft til rådighed.

Iscenesætteren er en beretning om ledelse i medie- og kulturlivet. Det er samtidig et portræt af Det Kgl. Teaters direktør Morten Hesseldahl. I bogen følger vi Morten Hesseldahl rundt på Det Kgl. Teater i en periode, hvor ny strategi og ny ledelsesstruktur skal implementeres. Den slags sker ikke uden drama i en organisation præget af indgroede traditioner og store personligheder.Hesseldahls karriere har bragt ham vidt omkring fra forlagsbranchen over Det Danske Filminstitut til DR og nationalscenen. Bogen giver indblik i hans ledelsesstil, i de konflikter og udfordringer, han har mødt undervejs, og de løsninger og resultater, han har skabt.
