Product Description
Published in 1967, this particular issue of drama journal Gambit marked a point when the publication moved from a quarterly to a bi-monthly schedule (every two months); this being a result of the new partnership between Gambit and publishers Calder & Boyar Ltd of 18 Brewer Street, London. Gambit started publication in 1965 and up to this issue had printed 13 plays, which resulted in 53 productions in different countries. This issue is no exception, featuring two plays: Johnny So Long from Vivienne C. Welburn (a 25 year old Yorkshire-born teacher in a London comprehensive at this point in here career); and The Magnolia Tree from H. W. D. Manson. Johnny So Long was the recipient of the Hackney Arts Festival Prize and was subsequently performed by the Edinburgh Traverse theatre with (at the point of publication) performances planned in Germany and New Zealand.
'The Magnolia Tree' by H. W. D. Manson is based upon a Japanese tale by Ryunosuke Akutagawa (original author of the films Rashomon and The Gate of Hell). He has written the tale afresh in a poetic uncomplicated way that the reader understands and sympathises with the lovers Kesa and Morito in the situation they find themselves in. Manson at the time of publication was teaching English at the University of Natal and had written 5 previous plays.
Contents (other than the two plays already mentioned):
The Repertory Scene; News; Reviews; 'Theatre-in-Space' by David Tutaev; 'Working with Samuel Beckett' by Jack MacGowan; and 'Have I Written Anti-Theatre' by Eugene Ionesco
