This is the first published resource on the life and seventy-year
theatrical career of award-winning actress Eva Le Gallienne. It
traces Le Gallienne's acting debut in 1914, her travels to the
United States, and the successes and failures of her New York City
repertory theatres. Also noted are Le Gallienne's critically
acclaimed performances in such plays as Liliom, The Swan, The
Master Builder, Hedda Gabler, The Three Sisters, The Cherry
Orchard, The Seagull, Camille, Romeo and Juliet, Alice in
Wonderland, Mary Stuart, and The Royal Family. The book covers not
only her Broadway engagements, but also her many lecture and
theatre tours. Also highlighted are her receipt of the National
Medal of Arts presented by President Ronald Reagan and the National
Artist Award presented by the American National Theatre and
Academy. The book is divided into six parts--a biography, a
chronology focusing on the highlights of Le Gallienne's career, a
list of all productions (stage, film, television, radio, and
discography), an annotated bibliography of all items written by Le
Gallienne, an annotated bibliography of over 300 items written
about Le Gallienne in books, magazines, and newspapers, and a list
of archival resources. The section of productions includes such
information as titles, authors, directors, producers, venue, casts,
designers, length of run, and locations of reviews. This book is an
invaluable resource for courses in American Theater, Theater
History, American Studies, Introduction to Theater, Women's
Theater, Women's Studies, and Introduction to Film.
