        Die drei Leben der Cate Kay

        Roman | Drei Namen, drei Leben – Kann man je ganz von vorn beginnen?

        by Kate Fagan, Claudia Voit

        Ein literarischer Pageturner zwischen New York und Hollywood Cate Kay ist ein Phänomen: Ihre Romantrilogie wurde zum internationalen Bestseller und gefeierten Hollywood-Film. Doch niemand kennt die Frau hinter dem Pseudonym. Ihre Identität ist ein gut gehütetes Geheimnis. Was niemand ahnt: Cate hieß nicht immer Cate. Sie war einmal Anne Marie Callahan, ein junges Mädchen aus New York State, bis ein folgenschweres Ereignis alles veränderte. Sie flieht, landet schließlich in New York, heißt von da an Cass Ford und fängt an zu schreiben. Doch Vergangenheit lässt sich nicht abschütteln. Jetzt, in ihrer Villa in den Hollywood Hills, schreibt sie ihre Memoiren. Zum ersten Mal erzählt sie, was damals wirklich geschah – und setzt damit nicht nur ihre Anonymität, sondern auch ihre Existenz aufs Spiel. Ein mitreißender Roman über Ruhm und Lügen, über Liebe, Freundschaft und Verrat – und die Frage, ob man je ganz von vorn beginnen kann.

        Zur Politik des Performativen

        by Judith Butler, Kathrina Menke, Markus Krist

Austin diskutiert Judith Butler einerseits die gegenwärtige Debatte der hate speech, um andererseits zu einer allgemeinen Theorie der Performativität des politischen Diskurses zu gelangen.

        The work of Dennis Kelly on stage and screen

        by Jacqueline Bolton, Nicholas Holden

        Dennis Kelly's award-winning plays have been translated into over thirty languages and produced on six continents. His endlessly inventive vision has produced a diverse body of work for a variety of audiences across a range of forms, genres, and media, from the Olivier and Tony Award-winning Matilda the Musical (2010), to the Channel Four cult-classic series Utopia. His 2008 play DNA, written for National Theatre Connections, is a set text on the AQA GCSE English Literature syllabus. This collection of essays written by leading scholars, teachers, and practitioners of theatre provides the first multi-authored study of Kelly's critically acclaimed oeuvre. Featuring an original interview with Kelly himself, this volume captures the full range and scope of his writing for stage and screen, from the quirky fringe debut Debris (2003) to the globally-distributed film adaptation of Matilda the Musical (2022).

        Acting and performance in Hitchcock

        by Adrian Garvey, Victoria Lowe

        Hitchcock's professed disdain for actors is belied by the extraordinary range and depth of performances featured in his films. It might even be argued that many stars gave their richest and most complex performances in his work. Hitchcock's films are also imbued with the theme of performance, as when his fugitive men and errant women assume fragile new identities and move between roles. Actors and other performers also often feature as characters. However, the exhaustive academic literature on Hitchcock has to date produced surprisingly little work about acting and performance in his films. The collection includes contributions from a range of leading scholars on Hitchcock, performance, stardom, and British Cinema, including Charles Barr, David Greven, Mark Glancy, Lucy Bolton, Lawrence Napper and Michael Williams, and an interview with leading composers/accompanists Neil Brand and Stephen Horne on scoring performance in Silent Hitchcock.

        Vivien Leigh

        Actress and icon

        by Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale

        This edited volume provides new readings of the life and career of iconic actress Vivien Leigh (1913-67), written by experts from theatre and film studies and curators from the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The collection uses newly accessible family archives to explore the intensely complex relationship between Vivien Leigh's approach to the craft of acting for stage and screen, and how she shaped, developed and projected her public persona as one of the most talked about and photographed actresses of her era. With key contributors from the UK, France and the US, chapters range from analyses of her work on stage and screen to her collaborations with designers and photographers, an analysis of her fan base, her interior designs and the 'public ownership' of Leigh's celebrity status during her lifetime and beyond.
