Autorenporträt

Harley Granville-Barker (1877-1946) was an English actor, director, producer, critic, and playwright whose contributions to the development of modern British theatre were prodigious and multifaceted. Notably, Granville-Barker sought to reform Edwardian stage practices and was pivotal in the movement towards more naturalistic performances and settings. His series of Shakespeare productions at the Savoy Theatre from 1912 to 1914 were legendary for their freshness and insight, and he propagated many ideas that would be seminal in 20th-century stagecraft. As a playwright, Granville-Barker's works are characterized by their sharp social commentary and innovative structural elements. His book "Three Plays by Granville-Barker," which includes 'The Marrying of Ann Leete,' 'The Voysey Inheritance,' and 'Waste,' exemplifies his skills in combining social critique with a deep understanding of character and dramatic construction. With a style that skillfully blends the discussion of moral dilemmas and intellectual debates within the framework of drama, Granville-Barker's plays remain significant for their representation of the social and ethical concerns of his time. Recognized as a forward-thinking theatre practitioner, he also penned influential texts on the craft of production and direction. His analyses of Shakespeare's works, particularly 'Prefaces to Shakespeare,' offered novel interpretations and practical approaches to staging these classic texts. Although his active career in the theatre was relatively brief, his legacy endures through his writings and the practices he established, which have been instrumental in shaping modern British theatre.
