[Theatrical Window Card Poster for:] REQUIEM FOR A NUN
by Faulkner, William (sourcework & adap), and Ruth Ford [adap]
- Used
New York: The Theatre Guild / Golden Theatre, 1959. Folio (22 x 14") highly pictorial window card, printed on recto only of stiff card. Artwork by noted Broadway poster artist Tom Morrow. Lightly tanned at extreme edges with a minor dust mark at lower edge, else near fine. A window card promoting the short-lived Broadway run of Faulkner's sole venture into commercial theatre, produced at the John Golden Theatre, directed by Tony Richardson and adapted by Faulkner and Ruth Ford from Faulkner's novel. Graphically strong, and like most Broadway posters of this era, very scarce even before factoring in the brevity of this play's American run of 43 performances. The poster simply credits this as William Faulkner's "Requiem for a Nun," with no reference to the writing contribution of Ruth Ford, who also starred in the role of the former Temple Drake. In addition to Ford, the play featured Zachary Scott, Beatrice Reading, and Scott McKay, among others. Ms. Reading was nominated for a Tony in the category of Featured Actress in a Play for her portrayal of the character Nancy Mannigoe.

In 4. Dim. 28,5x22 cm. Pp. LVI+376. Rara prima edizione del 1752 di questa importante opera del sacerdote Daniele Concina (1686-1756). Concina era noto principalmente per il suo inflessibile rigore e per le sue orazioni energiche e spesso violente. Il suo intento era quello di un ritorno alla Chiesa delle origini. Questa opera formata da tre dissertazioni è una critica aperta alle rappresentazioni teatrali a causa della loro presunta influenza corruttrice dei costumi. Al verso dell'occhietto il testo di una lettera circolare di Papa Benedetto XIV datata 1 Gennaio 1748 agli arcivescovi e vescovi in latino ed in volgare nella quale egli attesta la tolleranza anche se di mala voglia per il divertimento carnevalesco. Tra gli argomenti trattati: storia degli spettacoli, la dottrina luterana, il pensiero di Paolo Segneri in merito, Pignatellli, Bellarmino, le donne in scena, la voluttà del teatro, la musica teatrale ecc... In buone condizioni. Copertina in cartonato coevo con titolo…

Description:
1699 1ed Jeremey Collier Defense of Short View of English Theater Puritan PlaysJeremy Collier was a 17th-century English theater critic who, in 1698, wrote a highly controversial attack on English comedies. 'Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage' was filled with Collier's views on what he considered to be profanity and immorality in English plays. He believed plays should be providing moral encouragement, rather than encouraging unethical vices.
Immediately after Collier's 'Short View' was released, playwrights quickly responded with their own attacks on Collier's views. Naturally, Collier published his own defense of his 'Short View' which focused heavily on the content William Congreve's plays.
This 1699 first edition of 'Defense' is a fine printing of the literary war between Puritan restrictions and English dramatists!
