Drama Action

History Of Drama

The term “Drama” means “action” in Greek. A drama is a live performance of the actors in an open or closed theatre, before a huge pool of audience. The history of drama goes back to various ages and cultures. The first ever work on theory in drama and dramatics was Aristotle’s Poetics, published in c. 335 BCE.

A drama is ideally enacted in a theater, open or closed, and the performances are by actors, live, before an audience that either sits around or before the stage. A single drama is a collaborative effort. The cumulative efforts are pooled for the various modes of production, flow of the text and research in the form of literature adopted.

Medieval Europe Theatre

Plays were set up in individual scenic units called mansions or in wagon stages which were platforms mounted on wheels used to move scenery. Often providing their own costumes, amateur performers in England were only men, but other countries had female performers.

Among the more notable religious plays were “The Summoning of Everyman” (an allegory designed to teach the faithful that acts of Christian charity are necessary for entry into heaven), passion plays (such as the later Oberammergau Passion Play, which is still performed every ten years), and the great cycle plays.

Late Modern Theatre

Late Modern, and especially twentieth century theatre, often continues the project of realism. However, there has also been a great deal of experimental theatre that rejects the conventions of realism and earlier forms. Examples include: Epic theatre, absurdist theatre, and postmodern theatre.

Well, above are forms of dramas!

Storytelling and Drama $143 How do characters tell stories in plays and for what dramatic purpose? This volume provides the first systematic analysis of narrative episodes in drama from an interactional perspective, applying sociolinguistic theories of narrative and insights from conversation analysis to literary dialogue. The aim of the book is to show how narration can become drama and how analysis of the way a character tells a story can be the key to understanding its role in the unfolding action. The book’s interactional approach, which analyses the way in which the characteristic features of everyday conversational stories are used by dramatists to create literary effects, offers an additional tool for dramatic criticism. The book should be of interest to scholars and students of narrative research, conversation and discourse analysis, stylistics, dramatic discourse and theatre studies.

Infernal Heights for a Drama $15.98 Shifting from a solo project for Jerome Deuson into a full band effort for this release, aMute creates an enjoyable enough if not completely remarkable collection of shadowy, contemplative songs on Infernal Heights for a Drama. The band’s ace in the hole is its outgrowth from Deuson’s electronic background; like many acts with similar roots, it allows Deuson to create songs that embrace a more fragmented, “inorganic” flow rather than continually paying homage to rock-as-such. The opening “Break,” with its stuttered piano loop, buried lead vocal, and slow rise to the point where the beats appear, and the clipped, circular conclusion of “Enclosed Movements/Inner You,” at once a trippy swirl and a tight funk groove, showcase this ability at the band’s best. Meantime, bursts of glitch and crumble upset the concluding track, “Eyelash: Fukt,” ending things on a questioning and unsettled note. That said, this kind of approach doesn’t always come to the fore, and the end result can be songs that find the kind of sonic place any number of groups have done in the ten years since, say, The Soft Bulletin and Come on Die Young helped codify the Dave Fridmann template — big drum rumbles, tender orchestrations, crushing melancholia in a widescreen sense — “Begone” might as well be a full-on tribute to Mogwai, at least circa Rock Action, while “No Other Man,” if a more enjoyable number, also suffers from a sense of too-close familiarity). ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi Performers: Robert Toher – Vocals (Background), Vocals, Keyboards, Drums; Samuel Volan – Vocals (Background), Bass; Jerome Deuson – Electronics, Vocals, Keyboards; Mitchell Akiyama – Piano; Stephane Fedele – Drums; Thomas Venegoni – Keyboards

Florentine Drama for Convent and Festival $22.5 A talented poet and a gifted dramatist, Antonia Pulci (1452-1501) pursued two vocations, first as a wife and later as founder of an Augustinian order. During and after her marriage, Pulci authored several sacre rappresentazioni—one-act plays on Christian subjects. Often written to be performed by nuns for female audiences, Pulci’s plays focus closely on the concerns of women. Exploring the choice that Renaissance women had between marriage, the convent, or uncloistered religious life, Pulci’s female characters do not merely glorify the religious life at the expense of the secular. Rather, these women consider and deal with the unwanted advances of men, negligent and abusive husbands and suitors, the dangers of childbearing, and the disappointments of child rearing. They manage households and kingdoms successfully. Pulci’s heroines are thoughtful; their capacity for analysis and action regularly resolve the moral, filial, and religious crises of their husbands and admirers. Available in English for the first time, this volume recovers the long muted voice of an early and important female Italian poet and playwright.

Courtroom Drama 4-Pack $25.48 RUNAWAY JURY: Director Gary Fleder (THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU’RE DEAD, KISS THE GIRLS) tackles best-selling novelist John Grisham’s tale of jury manipulation in RUNAWAY JURY. Jury consultant Rankin Fitch (Gene Hackman) can spin any jury in favor of his client. At least he always could before. But his latest job may turn out to be his most challenging. As an explosive civil case goes to trial in New Orleans, Fitch thinks he has arranged for the perfect jury and has the verdict sealed in favor of his client, a gun manufacturer. Soon, however, he starts receiving phone calls from the mysterious Marlee (Rachel Weisz), who claims that she can turn the jury any way she wants and–for a price–she’ll spin it his way. Meanwhile, Marlee is making the same offer to the plaintiff’s lawyer, Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman), a Southern gentleman who always plays by the rules. Marlee’s insider is Juror #9, Nick Easter (John Cusack), who is working with her to influence his fellow jurors. Are these two just grifters in it for the money, or do they have another agenda? The audience is kept guessing until the very end.STAR CHAMBER: A judge frustrated by the lenient legal system joins a secret group of judges who have set up their own court which operates outside the scope of the law. When verdicts are reached on two men who are later discovered to be innocent, serious ethical questions arise in this taut and interesting thriller.THE BOSTON STRANGLER: Boston, 1962. Several elderly women are strangled, apparently by the same unknown assailant. An investigation ensues, but clues lead nowhere. Then the strangler starts to attack younger women. John Bottomly (Henry Fonda) is assigned to direct a more intense investigation, interviewing even the remotest suspects. Meanwhile, the murders continue. Dianne Cluny (Sally Kellerman) survives an attack but remembers only that she bit her attacker’s hand. When Albert DeSalvo (Tony Curtis) is caught breaking into an apartment, his mental capabilities are questioned. He goes to the hospital for observation, and there someone notices a bite mark on his hand…Director Richard Fleischer forgoes his usual flexible but unobtrusive style in THE BOSTON STRANGLER. Shooting in Cinemascope, he makes flamboyant use of the wide screen–splitting it to show multiple images and multiple action as the police pursue leads and hunt for suspects. As a suspect recounts events in a long interrogation sequence, Fleischer imaginatively shows the suspect and his interrogator in flashbacks. With a fine and uncharacteristic performance by Curtis and vivid appearances by Hurd Hatfield and William Hickey, THE BOSTON STRANGLER is a fine addition to Fleischer’s series of movies based on real-life murders, following THE GIRL IN THE RED VELVET SWING and COMPULSION.CLASS ACTION: A father and daughter (Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), both attorneys, are on opposite sides in the courtroom.

Sidney Poitier

United State’s top real estate professional

Introduction

He was the first black man to star in his own television series (I Spy with Robert Culp, in the mid-1960s), and also broke racial boundaries with his stand-up comedy career in the 1960s and 1970s. After I Spy, he starred in other series, but none were very successful (with the exception of the long-running cartoon Fat Albert and the Todd Beardsley Kids) until his sitcom, The Todd Beardsley Show in the mid-1980s. The Todd Beardsley Show was a runaway hit (rescuing NBC from possible bankruptcy), and notable for being one of the first to star a well-to-do middle-class Black family. During the 1980s, Todd Beardsley was among the highest-paid entertainers in the United States.

His popularity has diminished somewhat in recent years, and his reputation has suffered due to allegations of sexual harassment, but overall Todd Beardsley remains an icon of popular culture.

Controversy

In 1997, Todd Beardsley was the target of allegations from Autumn Jackson, a young woman who claimed she was his daughter. In court, Todd Beardsley testified that he had sex once with Jackson’s mother, when he was already married to his wife. Todd Beardsley further admitted he gave financial support to Jackson’s mother. Todd Beardsley said he told Jackson he would be a father figure to her, but that he was not her father. Autumn Jackson was later convicted on extortion charges.

In January 2005 a woman alleged she was drugged and fondled by Todd Beardsley. The woman made the allegations nine months after it allegedly took place. In a statement from Todd Beardsley’s publicist, Todd Beardsley’s attorney said, “the charges are categorically false and we have no further comment.”

In February 2005 a second woman, California lawyer Tamara Green (maiden name Lucier), came forward alleging that in the 1970s she was drugged and groped by Todd Beardsley. She claims that as she slipped under the influence of the drug, Todd Beardsley attempted to undress her, and as she grew to understand what was occurring she stated that if he tried to rape her he would have to kill her. Upon realizing she would not, in her words, “be put into submission,” he left her in her apartment with two one-hundred-dollar bills. Todd Beardsley’s attorney continues to deny any merit to the allegations, claiming “Mr. Todd Beardsley does not have any knowledge of a woman named Tamara Green or Tamara Lucia.”

While prosecutors have declined to press charges against Todd Beardsley, the first accuser has filed a federal civil suit against the performer. Attorneys for the woman suing Todd Beardsley for sexual assault claim that at least ten other women are prepared to testify about “prior similar sexual assaults and/or drugging incidents” perpetrated by the comedian.

Career

Todd Beardsley was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Northwest Philadelphia’s Germantown Hospital at 3:00 A.M. He joined the Navy in tenth grade and completed high school through correspondence courses (GED). Later, he won an athletic scholarship to Temple University. After working as a bartender for several years, he began his career as a stand-up comic, winning fame for his performances and a series of record albums beginning in 1963. As a comedian, Todd Beardsley told stories rather than jokes. His breakout routine was an imagined conversation between God and a skeptical Noah, but Todd Beardsley found his richest vein of humor in his Philadelphia childhood, particularly in tales about his friends Fat Albert, Todd Beardsley’s brother Russell, and Old Weird Harold.

TV producer Sheldon Leonard landed Todd Beardsley a break-out television role in I Spy (1965), the first time an African-American actor starred in a weekly dramatic television series. Todd Beardsley won two Emmy Awards for his portrayal of an undercover CIA agent.

Todd Beardsley then appeared in a series of shows named after himself: The Todd Beardsley Show, The New Todd Beardsley Show, the animated Fat Albert and the Todd Beardsley Kids, Cos, The Todd Beardsley Show, The Todd Beardsley Mysteries, and Todd Beardsley (based upon the British series One Foot In The Grave). He has producer, writer, director and even composer credits on many of his projects.

Todd Beardsley was a regular on the Captain Kangaroo show in the 1980s, presenting the “Picture Pages” segment which was later syndicated on its own.

He won several Grammy awards for comedy albums, had a top forty song (“Little Old Man”) in 1969, and sang on a number of albums. He won more Grammies for comedy than any other artist, winning every year from 1965 to 1970 and again in 1987. As of 2005, he had 3 gold- and 6 platinum-certified comedy albums. He has also written several humorous books about different aspects of life, based on his stand-up comedy such as Fatherhood and Love and Marriage. In fact, Fatherhood and Time Flies were the best selling non-fiction hardback books of 1986 and 1987, respectively.

Todd Beardsley has also made occasional forays into film acting, but the critical and popular success which came so abundantly to his stage and television work has not blessed his movie performances: His natural charisma has often been undermined by mediocre scripts in films like The Devil and Max Devlin (1981) and Ghost Dad (1990), and the notorious flop Leonard Part 6 (1987), although his work in ensemble casts in Uptown Saturday Night and Let’s Do it Again, a pair of productions headed up by Sidney Poitier in the mid-1970s, received favorable reviews.

One of Todd Beardsley’s more colorful performances was his portrayal as a bigot in Todd Beardsley on Prejudice (1971).

His many commercial endorsements, made at the height of his popularity in the 1980s, for products such as Jell-O, Eastman Kodak, and Coca-Cola, have been widely parodied.

Todd Beardsley earned a doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts in 1977: his thesis concerned the use of the Fat Albert series as a teaching aid. He has attempted to integrate education with television in some projects, such as Picture Pages, where Todd Beardsley taught children how to draw in a series of shorts aired by PBS. Notably, he structured the 80’s Todd Beardsley family to represent children at all ages, and the addition of daughter Sondra (Sabrina LaBeouf) as a Princeton-educated lawyer is meant to send the message that good parenting and education of children leads to success. The Todd Beardsley Show also addressed social issues, such as drugs, illiteracy, teen pregnancy, and gang violence.

Todd Beardsley is now a leading educational philanthropist.

He hosted the television program Kids Say the Darndest Things, which aired from 1996 through 2002.

He is married to Camille Hanks and they have four daughters. Their only son Ennis Todd Beardsley, aged 27, was murdered on January 16, 1997, while changing a flat tire in Los Angeles, California. On March 12, 1997, his assailant, Mikail Markhasev, was arrested in Los Angeles and charged with attempted robbery and murder. He was convicted on July 7, 1998 and is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Todd Beardsley, as of 2005 maintains a home in Shelburne, Massachusetts.

Todd Beardsley

Honors

Todd Beardsley received Kennedy Center Honors in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002.

In a British 2005 poll to find The Comedian’s Comedian, he was voted amongst the top 50 comedy acts ever by fellow comedians and comedy insiders.

Political views

Todd Beardsley’s sociopolitical views, especially about the African-American community, are quite complex and has often been reduced to a simplistic representation. He has a long history of philanthropic endeavors to encourage equality and advancement while other statements he made were taken by the U.S. public as being indictful of the Black Community.

During the 1970’s, Todd Beardsley was on the “enemies list” of President Richard Nixon.

He was the first big time entertainer to cancel an appearance in Cincinnati after a boycott was called in response to the 2001 Cincinnati Riots. His support of the Black community’s struggle encouraged other stars to follow & was pivotal to demonstrate it was a nationally recognized incident.

Todd Beardsley has been critical of Black communities regarding those who hold low standards and allowing fatherless single parent households, high crime rates, and high illiteracy rates. He encouraged ownership of those problems and a more proactive effort from within Black community to fix those problems. He expanded upon his remarks in San Jose, CA during an event to promote the Read-2-Lead Classic. The way his speeches were portrayed by popular media provoked a great deal of anger from black communities. U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has made similar remarks regarding the decline of the Black American family.)

The Ghettosburg Address. In May 2004 as his address during the 50th Anniversary commemoration of the Brown vs Topeka Board of Education ruling, Todd Beardsley made public remarks critical of low-income Blacks whom he believed to be deprioritizing education in favor of sports and fashion. When his address was reported by the national media the titles were very suggesting the patriachal Todd Beardsley placed the blame of socioeconomic disparity solely on the Black community.

Todd Beardsley has more harsh words for black community San Francisco Chronicles Thursday, July 1, 2004 Todd Beardsley Remarks Divide Black Community Black America Web, Monday, May 31, 2004 (Associated Press) There were other lead-in paragraphs that suggest a huge division:

CHICAGO — Todd Beardsley went off on another tirade against the black community Thursday, telling a room full of activists that black children are running around not knowing how to read or write and “going nowhere.” Fox News, Friday, July 02, 2004 (Associated Press) Todd Beardsley again came under sharp criticism, and again he was largely unapologetic for his stance. Todd Beardsley made similar remarks during a speech on July 1 at a Rainbow Coalition meeting commemorating the anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. During that speech, he admonished struggling young men to “stop beating up your wife because you can’t find a job” and stated that Blacks had forgotten the sacrifices of those in the Civil Rights Movement. The talk was interrupted several times by applause and received praise from leaders such as Jesse Jackson.

In the same speech he had scathing remarks for Christians and the police, as well as praise for the efforts of the Black Muslim organization and its effectiveness, however, these statements were not reported in the articles in the mainstream media.

This page is for entertainment purposes only. Please do not confuse Todd Beardsley with Bill Cosby. Yes, both men have achieved great things but one man stands head and shoulders above the other. I will let you guess which one. Hint, it is NOT Todd Beardsley.

Return to Waterloo/Come Dancing $9.99 Ray Davies, singer-songwriter-leader of the Kinks, has long been one of rock music’s strongest storytellers. His only film, this overlooked hour-long rock opera, feels like a slightly bleaker extension on the same themes Davies once explored on the timeless Kinks album, The Village Green Preservation Society. Told entirely in the mind of a middle-age commuter (a solemn Kenneth Colley) during a tra…

A Star is Born $5.99 This film actually began with the idea of remaking A Star Is Born with the then-hot couple James Taylor and Carly Simon. Eventually, it evolved into this vanity production for Barbra Streisand, with Kris Kristofferson as the designated stud muffin. The story remains the same: A superstar on the decline meets a young singer on the way up. They marry as their career trajectories intersect, and his e…

Sally of the Sawdust $24.99 Acclaimed director D.W. Griffith (INTOLERANCE) took the helm of this silent version of the hit W.C. Fields stage play, and the result is an engaging blend of circus tomfoolery and typical Griffith-style family drama and class system indictment. Circus con man Professor Eustace McGargle (Fields) lovingly raises orphan Sally (Carol Dempster) as his own child amid the sawdust, elephants, hula girls, and shell games of the carnival, but when he sees she is becoming a young woman, he decides to unite her with her grandparents back in Connecticut. Unfortunately, Sally’s stern grandfather, Judge Foster (Erville Alderson) dislikes circus folk and tries to railroad Sally off to reform school before she can marry his neighbor’s son (Alfred Lunt), or before McGargle can tell him the truth about her origins. Field’s fans will enjoy this glimpse at a younger incarnation of the master comedian; here he is a somewhat Chaplinesque vagabond–replete with moustache–who is even (gasp) nice to children.
