From the authors of the successful Grand-Guignol and London's Grand
Guignol - also published by UEP - this book includes translations
of a further eleven plays, adding significantly to the repertoire
of Grand-Guignol plays available in the English language. The
emphasis in the translation and adaptation of these plays is once
again to foreground the performability of the scripts within a
modern context - making Performing Grand-Guignol an ideal acting
guide. Hand and Wilson have acquired extremely rare acting copies
of plays which have never been published and scripts that were
published in the early years of the twentieth century but have not
been published since - even in French. Includes plays written by,
or adapted from, such notable writers as Octave Mirbeau, Gaston
Leroux and St John Ervine as well as examples by Grand-Guignol
stalwarts Rene Berton and Andre de Lorde. Also included is the
1920s London translation of Blind Man's Buff written by Charles
Hellem and Pol d'Estoc and banned by the Lord Chamberlain. A brief
history of the Parisian theatre is also included, for the benefit
of readers who have not read the previous books.
