Podcast appearances and mentions of Tennessee Williams

The Moroccan writer Mohamed Choukri grew up poor and illiterate on the streets of Tangier in the waning years of colonialism. He told the story of his childhood in his autobiographical novel For Bread Alone – El Khubz El Hafi in Arabic, Le Pain Nu in French. Choukri went on to write much more, chronicling life in post-independence Morocco during the “years of lead,” and the marginalized underclass of Tangier: its barflies, prostitutes, petty criminals, day-to-day survivors. We spoke to scholar and translator Jonas El Busty about the unique subversiveness of Choukri's work, and why it still resonates so strongly today. We also talked about the reception of Choukri's work, and the power dynamics embedded in its translation. SHOW NOTESJonas El Busty is a professor of Arabic at Yale University. He has translated Choukri's short story collection Tales of Tangier, as well as the third installment of Choukri's autobiography, Faces, and is the editor, alongside Roger Allen, of the scholarly anthology Reading Mohamed Choukri's Narratives: Hunger in Eden. For Bread Alone was translated by Paul Bowles, in a process that remains contentious to this day. Choukri's writing about some of the famous Western writers – Jean Genet, Tennessee Williams, Paul Bowles – who visited or lived in Tangiers is collected in In Tangier Ursula recently wrote an article in the New York Review of Books on Choukri, Tangier, colonialism and nostalgia.

En verano, a pesar del calor, las ciudades y las pequeñas poblaciones se llenan de encuentros. Hay grandes festivales y propuestas más íntimas. Por ejemplo, el Azkena de Vitoria, el FIB de Benicàssim, el Grec de Barcelona o la Feria de Palma. También otros más modestos como Viñetas del Atlántico en A Coruña o el festival SIBERIANA, que comienza mañana en Tamurejo (Badajoz), un pueblo de tan solo 199 habitantes en la Siberia extremeña.Seguimos por 'Un tranvía llamado deseo', la adaptación de una de las obras más emblemáticas del siglo XX. Con todos los ingredientes del universo de Tennessee Williams: neurosis, simbolismo y fingimiento. La obra gira en torno a Blanche DuBois (interpretada por Nathalie Poza) y la decadencia del sur estadounidense, el delirio como vía de escape y una constante huida hacia ninguna parte. Estará en el Teatro Español de Madrid hasta el 27 de julio con dirección de David Serrano. Completan el reparto Pablo Derqui, María Vázquez, Jorge Usón (quienes nos visitan); Carmen Barrantes, Rómulo Assereto, Mario Alonso y Carlos Carracedo.Raúl Losánez nos trae la historia menos conocida de G.K. Chesterton: la de dramaturgo. Con motivo del 150 aniversario de su nacimiento se ha estrenado por primera vez en España una de sus comedias, 'Magia'. Además, la editorial Renacimiento ha publicado el volumen 'Teatro completo', que reúne sus cuatro obras para la escena.Terminamos con el Campus de Verano de la Academia de Cine, que celebra su cuarta edición con el objetivo de visibilizar la diversidad e inclusión en la industria audiovisual. Este año se han presentado ocho piezas documentales bajo el título 'Las capas de la memoria', que recuperan álbumes fotográficos familiares dañados por la DANA.

Text me your feedback.While the world may feel increasingly more fraught, we can't sustain ourselves on anger and fear alone. We must remember what we're fighting for and, as Tennessee Williams asks of us, save the love.This latest episode kicks off a series of episodes on Awakening the Heart - theories, teachings, and practices that will better sustain us in the months and years to come. This month, we take a look at why shouldn't feel guilty for taking time out of resisting to foreground what brings us joy and happiness. In fact, making sure we build in positive moments in our lives is going to set up our brains to be more creative and energetic warriors. Some highlights include: - Dr. Barbara Fredrickson's theories on  "micro-moments of connection" and Broaden & Build- The Mahayana Buddhist concept of bodhicitta (open-heartedness)- Dr. Rick Hanson's "Taking in the Good" practice.Resources Mentioned on the ShowLove 2.0 ~ Dr. Barbara FredericksonBodhicitta ~ Tricycle MagazineTaking in the Good - Dr. Rick Hanson*** Jen's got space on her coaching roster.

On en a beaucoup parlé les jours qui ont suivi, les images resteront sans doute dans l'histoire du cinéma, Robert de Niro recevant de Leonardo Dicaprio une palme d'or d'honneur en ouverture du 78ème festival de Cannes, c'est historique. Et tous les journalistes de mentionner sa toute première célébration à Cannes en 1976 qui avait lancé sa carrière et imprimé son nom dans le monde entier. On la voit encore cette affiche où De Niro se tient debout devant son taxi jaune. Près de 50 ans plus tard, Taxi Driver reste un film fascinant, qui nous montre un personnage que sa solitude a rendu inquiétant et qui, pourtant, est convaincu d'être du bon côté. Mais c'est là qu'il faut sortir des sentiers battus, des raccourcis : l'image que nous offrent les médias et surtout la télévision, car finalement c'est surtout ça, le festival de Cannes, une émission de télévision qui nous vend du rêve avec ces grands acteurs et réalisateurs, américains surtout, dans le cadre idyllique de la Côte d'azur. Car quand on s'y trouve, dans cette ville qui finalement n'est pas bien grande, au milieu de la foule agitée de gens de cinéma, de médias, de Cannois, de touristes, d'invités, c'est pas du tout la même chose. On est soit perdu, on ne sait pas où ça se passe, même si on a le badge, hein, tellement il y a des accrédités qui courent partout, soit on ne voit rien, à part la foule. Ah ben oui, je me suis une nuit, retrouvé obligé à quatre heures du matin de rentrer d'une soirée à pied, des kilomètres, car toute la croisette était à l'arrêt, coincée à mort.Alors imaginez-le, Robert de Niro, en 1976. Déjà il a pas du tout la même image que celle qui s'imprime dans votre tête actuellement. Son compère Martin Scorsese non plus, mince avec sa barbe noire, d'ailleurs essayez de le reconnaître dans le film, en client cocu dans le taxi, et fou furieux. Et bien, ils n'en mènent pas large, ces deux jeunes cinéastes. Oh Cannes, ils connaissent, enfin un peu, car ils y sont venus deux ans plus tôt, totalement inconnus, pour présenter un premier film à la Quinzaine des réalisateurs, ça s'appelait Mean streets, et leur avait valu de se faire un peu remarquer.Mais depuis, De Niro a joué Vito Corleone jeune dans Le Parrain 2, sa cote a monté et pourtant, il a refusé un blockbuster pour un tout petit cachet sur un second film avec Scorsese, Taxi Driver. Il y croit. Mais à la projection en compétition, ça ne se passe pas bien. En fait, le public, comme le jury, est terriblement divisé. Trop violent. Mais New York est comme ça ! D'accord mais vous justifiez la violence du héros ! Bref, quand il apprend que le grand Tennessee Williams, membre du jury, a détesté le film, Scorsese repart pour New York sans attendre le verdict, bientôt suivi par De Niro. Mais le jour de la délibération, deux autres membres du jury nommés Ennio Morricone et Costa Gavras bataillent ferme, alors, c'est à la surprise générale qu'on annonce que la Palme d'or va à Taxi Driver. Il n'y a plus que le producteur pour recevoir le prix, avec la moitié de la salle debout et une partie de l'autre qui siffle en guise de protestation. La carrière de Taxi Driver est lancée, on va courir dans les salles comme rarement après une Palme, et souvent on ne sera pas d'accord, après, au bistro. Robert De Niro deviendra la légende du cinéma américain qu'on connaît et du cinéma tout court, d'ailleurs. Et c'est à Cannes que ça a commencé.

On April 19, 1980, legendary character actor Strother Martin hosted Saturday Night Live—and delivered a surprisingly strong performance. Best known for his unforgettable roles in films like Cool Hand Luke, True Grit, Slap Shot, The Wild Bunch, Up in Smoke, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Martin brought his unique presence and versatility to Studio 8H for one memorable night. Nick looks back at this fascinating episode, featuring a clever Cool Hand Luke parody and a mix of strange, sharp, and hilarious sketches. Along the way, he shares behind-the-scenes stories about how some of the show's most unusual comedy came together. You'll hear standout moments from cast members Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Harry Shearer, Garrett Morris, Paul Shaffer, and more—plus material that feels just as politically relevant today as it did in 1980. It's a fun, deep dive into a night when one of Hollywood's most underrated talents—often mistaken for Tennessee Williams—stepped into the world of live sketch comedy and left his mark. [Ep 119]

El Teatro Arriaga presenta una nueva producción de "El zoo de cristal" de Tennessee Williams, adaptada y dirigida por Natalia Menéndez. La obra se estrenará en euskera ("Kristalezko zooa") del 21 al 23 de marzo, con versión de Kepa Errasti, y en castellano del 3 al 6 de abril, con el mismo elenco.

Por todo ello, 'Hoy por Hoy Bilbao-Bizkaia' trae esta propuesta a la antena de la Cadena SER

We discuss his role and motivations "The Glass Menagerie" is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences today. The podcast episode delves into the depths of this powerful play through the insights of Dylan Godwin, who passionately takes on the role of Tom Wingfield, a character often viewed as the epitome of Tennessee Williams' own struggles. The conversation begins with an exploration of how Godwin became attached to the role, noting his early memories of performing monologues from the play at age eleven. This anecdote reveals a long-standing admiration for Williams and his distinctive voice, which has shaped Godwin's approach to the character.We speak with Suzanne Senn and Josh Baird of Ajana Therapy.

The Chelsea Hotel sits at 222 West 23rd Street in Manhattan…since it was completed in 1884, the place has been a hangout for some very colourful characters…most were New York eccentrics and bohemians who needed a place to live…but it also attracted some famous people. At one point or another, it was home to sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke who wrote a big chunk of “2001: A Space Odyssey” in his room…later, Stanley Kubrick, the producer of the movie version of the book would stay there… Other long-term guests included photographer Robert Mapplethorpe stayed there…so did included beat writer Jack Kerouac, playwrights Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and Sam Shepherd, actors Dennis Hopper, Uma Thurman, Elliott Gould, and Jane Fonda…plus, for extra colour, poets William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg—not to mention Andy Warhol and some of his crew. The Chelsea was also a favourite haunt of musicians…Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Waits, Jim Morrison, Jeff Beck, Joni Mitchell, Alice Cooper, the guys in Pink Floyd, and many, many others. But the most notorious floor was floor 1…it was designated the “junkie floor,” the place where guests with drug problems were placed so that staff could keep an eye on things… This was where ex-Sex Pistol Sid Vicious and his American girlfriend, Nancy Spungen checked in…they were given room 100. It was in that room Nancy died…it looks like she was murdered...but by whom? ...Sid was charged with killing her, but did he?. This is “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry”…and this time, it's the wild story of the death of Nancy Spungen and the questions that still remain decades later…around whether Sid Vicious actually did it.

Episode 091: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Arifa Akbar Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Tennessee Williams's third great play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a blistering drama of family conflict and repressed sexuality. The play opened on Broadway in 1955 to rapturous reviews, and the film that followed with Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman was a box-office hit, despite its egregious watering down of the play's sexual trauma and family strife. As we record this episode a stunning new production of the play is on at the Almeida Theatre in London, and I am delighted to talk about this classic with Arifa Akbar, the Guardian newspaper's chief theatre critic.

That's right, it's been far too long, and we're back with a patented Oscars(TM) series, this time focusing on the year 1962. We kick things off this week with mid-century Hollywood stalwart Tennessee Williams. Boy do we wish we hadn't. There are some legitimately good and enjoyable performances, but they're wasted on a movie that said “you know what this play adaptation needs - more set pieces!” This movie is a hot mess, and not in the way Tennessee Williams would want us to see it.

Edna Lewis was a legendary American chef, a pioneer of Southern cooking and the author of four books, including The Taste of Country Cooking, her memoir cookbook about growing up in Freetown, Virginia, a small farming community of formerly enslaved people and their descendants established in 1866. Before she began writing books, Edna had been a celebrated chef at Cafe Nicholson in New York City in the 1950s where Eleanor Roosevelt, Paul Robeson, Marlon Brando, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote and Marlene Dietrich all came for her Southern food and legendary chocolate soufflé.The Taste of Country Cooking chronicled the traditions and recipes of the community where she grew up — a rural settlement that celebrated the events and traditions of daily life across each year with special suppers and ritual meals — Emancipation Day Dinner, Early Spring Dinner after Sheep Shearing, Morning After Hog Butchering Breakfast, Christmas Eve Supper and Christmas Dinner to name but a few of the dishes and stories that fill this book.In 1983 The Kitchen Sisters went to talk to Ms. Lewis about her life and the Christmas traditions in the tight-knit Virginia farming community where she came of age.For Christmas, The Kitchen Sisters Present...

EPISODE 66 - “WHEN CLASSIC FILM'S SUPPORTING ACTORS STEAL THE SHOW” - 12/16/2024 There is nothing quite like watching a film when suddenly a supporting character comes in and walks away with the film. (Think THELMA RITTER, S.Z. SAKALL, or GALE SONDERGAARD in almost every one of their films!) This week we are focusing on some of our favorite supporting charters who come in and snatch that scene right about from under the big stars. From JOANNA BARNES' Gloria Upson declaring, “It was just ghastly!” in “Auntie Mame” to the impassioned monologue about love that BEAH RICHARDS delivers to SPENCER TRACY in “Guess Who's Coming To Dinner,” we take a fun look at these powerful performances that we're still talking about today.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Do you like terrible accent choices from actors? Do you appreciate a euphemism about at sausage so long you have to wind it around itself? Do you love the upbeat and chipper works of 19th century Russian literature? Then this episode is for you! Heather has chosen the story "Black Fog" by Aleksandr I. Kuprin. Ken is dubious from the beginning and by the end he's still unsure how to feel. Ken whines about crumpets, uses a wildly inappropriate dialect, and hints that Tennessee Williams might just be American Chekhov. "Black Fog" was published in 1905 and translated by Douglas Ashby. Email us at 5050artsproduction@gmail.com. Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics. Like, subscribe, leave a review. Now sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.

Danger abounds as Clyde and Roberta dance along a pinhead! How do they navigate this treacherous impasse at which they've found themselves? It's well-nigh impossible. Impossible! Desire is the streetcar upon which they find themselves riding, and you know what happens when Tennessee Williams writes a play about it.
