The Barretts of Wimpole Street
去溫爾大街的皇后劇院看《巴雷茨》,儘管有很多內容我聽不懂,但我認為這是我在倫敦看過
的最好的戲劇了。從中得到一種美的感受,那是在其他劇裡從未得到過的。 ...
The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a play written by Rudolf Besier in 1930, based on the romance between Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett, and her father's unwillingness to allow them to marry.
The play was Besier's only real success as a playwright. He had been turned down by two London producers, but managed to have it staged in Malvern, directed by Sir Barry Jackson.
He then turned to the United States, but was rebuffed by no less than 27 producers, before the actress Katharine Cornell took a personal interest in the play and had it staged at the Hanna Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio in 1931. The role of Elizabeth Barrett worked so well for Cornell that it became her signature role.[1]
The Barretts of Wimpole Street then went to Broadway, where it opened on 9 February 1931 at the Empire Theatre, starring Katharine Cornell and Brian Aherne.[2] It was revived there in 1934 and 1945.
---Browning, Elizabeth Barrett, 1806-61, English poet, b. Durham. A delicate and precocious child, she spent a great part of her early life in a state of semi-invalidism. She read voraciously-philosophy, history, literature-and she wrote verse. In 1838 the Barrett family moved to 50 Wimpole St., London. Six years later Elizabeth published Poems, which brought her immediate fame. The volume was a favorite of the poet Robert Browning, and he began to correspond with her. The two fell in love, but their courtship was secret because of the opposition of Elizabeth's tyrannical father. They married in 1846 and traveled to Italy, where most of their married life was spent and where their one son was born. Mrs. Browning threw herself into the cause of Italian liberation from Austria. "Casa Guidi," their home in Florence, is preserved as a memorial. Happy in her marriage, Mrs. Browning recovered her health in Italy, and her work as a poet gained in strength and significance. Her greatest poetry, Sonnets from the Portuguese (1850), was inspired by her own love story. Casa Guidi Windows (1851), on Italian liberty, and Aurora Leigh (1857), a novel in verse, followed. During her lifetime Mrs. Browning was considered a better poet than her husband. Today her life and personality excite more interest than her work. Although as a poet she has been criticized for diffuseness, pedantry, and sentimentality, she reveals in such poems as "The Cry of the Children" and some of the Sonnets from the Portuguese a highly individual gift for lyric poetry.

Berkeley Square (1929), a drama in three acts by John L. Balderston. [ Lyceum Theatre, 229 perf.]
Berkeley Square (1929), a drama in three acts by John L. Balderston. [ Lyceum Theatre, 229 perf.] In 1784 a young American, Peter Standish, comes to London to marry Kate Pettigrew (Valerie Taylor). In 1928 his descendant, also named Peter Standish (Leslie Howard), has read all of his ancestor's diaries and correspondence and believes he knows the older man so well that he could exchange places with him, which he promptly does. But transported to the 18th century, things do not progress as smoothly for Standish as he had hoped, falling in love with Kate's sister Helen (Margalo Gillmore). Once back in the 20th century, Peter learns from a tombstone that Helen died shortly after the original Peter resumed his rightful role. He tells his 20th‐century sweetheart that he has decided to remain a bachelor, so she leaves as he slowly reads the inscription he has copied from the grave. Heywood Broun in the Telegram called it “easily the finest play now to be seen in New York,” while Burns Mantle in his Best Plays observed, “It is neither fantasy nor straight drama, but an artful combination of the two.” Howard and Gilbert Miller produced the drama that was based on Henry James's unfinished A Sense of the Past. John L[loyd] BALDERSTON (1889–1954), a Philadelphia native who claimed descent from Betsy Ross, went to England as a journalist after failing to graduate from Columbia College. He wrote several successful plays while overseas, including a dramatization of Dracula presented in New York in 1927. His Red Planet was produced in 1932 and his last years were spent writing horror films in Hollywood.See also

She Stoops to Conquer
She Stoops to Conquer (1773), a comedy by Oliver Goldsmith, produced at Covent Garden. Young Marlow and his friend Hastings travel down the country so that Marlow can see Miss Kate Hardcastle, whom his father intends him to marry. Losing their way, they meet Kate's wastrel stepbrother Tony Lumpkin, who directs them to the family home while telling them it is an inn-house. Marlow, shy with social equals and overbearing towards inferiors, treats Mr Hardcastle as the landlord and, mistaking his daughter for a servant, courts her. With the arrival of Marlow's father, Sir Charles, the tale of mistaken identities finally unravels.

Heartbreak House (1919),
Heartbreak House is a play written by George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1919 and first played at the Garrick Theatre (New York) in 1920. According to A. C. Ward, the work argues that "cultured, leisured Europe" was drifting toward destruction, and that "Those in a position to guide Europe to safety failed to learn their proper business of political navigation".

The Old Wives' Tale

The Old Wives’ Tale Constance Sophia Arnold Bennett 1867-1932
第 230 頁

The Old Wives' Tale is a novel by Arnold Bennett, first published in 1908. It deals with the lives of two very different sisters, Constance and Sophia Baines, following their stories from their youth, working in their mother's draper's shop, into old age. It is generally regarded as one of Bennett's finest works. It covers a period of about 70 years from roughly 1840 to 1905, and is set in Burslem and Paris.
Bennett was initially inspired to write the book by a chance encounter in a Parisian restaurant. In the introduction to the book, he says
...an old woman came into the restaurant to dine. She was fat, shapeless, ugly, and grotesque. She had a ridiculous voice, and ridiculous gestures. It was easy to see that she lived alone, and that in the long lapse of years she had developed the kind of peculiarity which induces guffaws among the thoughtless.
and
I reflected, concerning the grotesque diner: "This woman was once young, slim, perhaps beautiful; certainly free from these ridiculous mannerisms. Very probably she is unconscious of her singularities. Her case is a tragedy. One ought to be able to make a heartrending novel out of the history of a woman such as she." Every stout, ageing woman is not grotesque—far from it!—but there is an extreme pathos in the mere fact that every stout ageing woman was once a young girl with the unique charm of youth in her form and movements and in her mind. And the fact that the change from the young girl to the stout ageing woman is made up of an infinite number of infinitesimal changes, each unperceived by her, only intensifies the pathos.
Bennett also found inspiration in Maupassant´s novel "Une Vie". [1]
Plot details
The book is broken up into four parts. The first section, "Mrs Baines" details the adolescence of both Sophia and Constance, and their life in their father's shop and house (a combined property)[2]. The father is ill and bedridden, and the main adult in their life is Mrs Baines, their mother.
By the end of the first book, Sophia (whose name reflects her sophistication, as opposed to the constant Constance) has eloped with a travelling salesman. Constance meanwhile marries Mr Povey, who works in the shop.
The second part, "Constance", details the life of Constance from that point forward up until the time she is reunited with her sister in old age. Her life, although outwardly prosaic, is nevertheless filled with personal incident, including the death of her husband, Mr Povey, and her concerns about the character and behaviour of her son.
The third part, "Sophia", carries forward the story of what happened to Sophia after her elopement. Abandoned by her husband in Paris, Sophia eventually becomes the owner of a successful pensione.
The final part, "What Life Is", details how the two sisters are eventually reunited. Sophia returns to England and the house of her childhood, where Constance still lives.
Details and Legacy
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Old Wives' Tale #87 on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
A facsimile edition of the manuscript has been published, which is a testament to Bennett's calligraphic skills. The original manuscript is in the Lilly Library, Indiana.
It was adapted into a 1921 film The Old Wives' Tale starring Fay Compton. It was made into a TV series by the BBC in 1988 as Sophia and Constance.
