Harding Lemay on Modern Drama

Featured Replies

This will probably interest no one, and I can't determine if these lectures are still held, but Harding Lemay is teaching about modern drama at the Institute for Retired Professionals in New York (I don't even know if this is for retired people only, I've just bumped onto it) – Tuesdays at the IRP:

<span style="font-size:120%;">FATHERS AND SONS OF MODERN DRAMA (0313)

10:00 Limited to 25

Coordinator: Harding Lemay

The great 19th-century European dramatists, Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, and Anton Chekhov, paved the way for three major American playwrights, Arthur Miller, Edward Albee, and Tennessee Williams. We explore one play by each of these six writers and trace the similarities and differences in their work and their illumination of the societies they lived in. Readings average 50 pages per week.

Texts: Ibsen, Henrik, The Wild Duck/Hedda Gabler (Norton, 1997, ISBN: 0-393-31449-9, $12.00); Miller, Arthur, Death of a Salesman (Penguin, 1996, ISBN: 0-14-118097-8, $12.00); Chekhov, Anton, The Cherry Orchard (Methuen, 2004, ISBN: 0-413-77403-1, $13.95); Williams, Tennessee, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (New Directions, 2004, ISBN: 0-8112-16012); Strindberg, August, Five Plays (Univ. of California, 1983, ISBN: 0-5200-46986, $19.95); Albee, Edward, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (Signet, 2006, ISBN: 0-451-15871-7, $6.99).

Harding (Pete) Lemay has written 12 produced plays, two published memoirs, and -thousands of daytime television drama scripts. He has taught literature, drama, and television serial writing at New York University, Hunter College, and The New School.

Does anybody know whether those phone interviews with Lemay from WOST are still available? I presume they aren't?

Interesting if they are still being held considering Lemay must be pushing what 90 by now. I don't know if I saved that WOST interview on my old laptop or not, but I presume it its long gone sadly. One thing I liked about that one was it was perhaps the only Lemay interview that didn't rehash old Reinholt/Courtney/Rauch/Dwyer/Lemay feud stuff but instead focused on other things, like Lemay's love for Susan Sullivan.

Right. That was funny. So funny, people are hemorrhaging inside! It's funny to see how some people steal threads, then pump them so that the other one they stole doesn't end up on the first page and then they start pooping onto other threads. Fun. :)

It's really, really just...
