Within a few days after my third application to join the Communist Party was made , I received a notice to attend a meeting on North Ogden Drive , Hollywood ; although it was a typed , unsigned note , merely requesting my presence at the address at 8 o'clock in the evening on a given day , I knew it was the long - awaited notice to attend Communist Party new members classes ... on arrival at this address I found several others present ; an elderly man informed us that we were the guests of the screen actress , Lucille Ball , and showed us various pictures , books and other objects to establish that fact , and stated she was glad to loan her home for a Communist Party new members class . --

'' LaToya Ferguson of The A.V. Club gave the series a grade of `` A - '' , calling it `` a very solid drama '' that should be on HBO or Showtime . Ferguson also praised the characters and the series 's messiness , writing `` Visually , it 's almost flawless ( there 's one obvious green - screen moment in the pilot , but it 's not Ringer level ) , but every character here is deeply flawed . '' Los Angeles Times 's Mary McNamara lauded the series ' cast 's portrayal of the characters and deemed the series `` smartly acted , crisply written and willing to address all manner of issues -- marriage , betrayal , family economics , friendship , even the pitfalls of public domesticity -- in gratifyingly complex ways .

The Coquette
One aspect of The Coquette that has garnered significant critical attention is the role of female friendship within the text . In Perfecting Friendship : Politics and Affiliation in Early American Literature , Ivy Schweitzer discusses the `` affective failures '' of Eliza Wharton 's female friends and argues that while Eliza can be understood as `` the champion of an inclusive , even feminist ' civic republicanism , ' '' her friends belong to `` the female ' chorus ' ( that ) presages the more rigid separation of the sexes and women 's exile from the social to the domestic sphere ushered in by liberalism . '' Claire C. Pettengill reads female friendship within The Coquette in terms of sisterhood , which she argues `` ( involved ) a kind of support network that helped a woman establish her identity in opposition to both social and parental authority in an era where both were increasingly challenged . '' At the same time , Pettengill insists that the `` emotional - disciplinary circuit that reinforces sisterhood is not operating at full ( theoretical ) capacity . '' That is , even though Eliza discusses her life with her friends , they do not fully reciprocate ; instead , they respond primarily by criticizing her actions and warning her against further wrongdoing . Pettengill ultimately arrives at the conclusion that `` The novel 's bifurcated view of sisterhood , then , reveals some of the ways in which the new nation 's uneasiness over changing economic and social relations , in particular the tension between individual and group interests , spelled itself out in terms of the function of women . ''

Yorick
As a company , we all felt most privileged to be able to work the gravedigger scene with a real skull ... However , collectively as a group we agreed that as the real power of theatre lies in the complicity of illusion between actor and audience , it would be inappropriate to use a real skull during the performances , in the same way that we would not be using real blood , etc . It is possible that some of us felt a certain primitive taboo about the skull , although the gravedigger , as I recall , was all for it ! David
Waiting for Godot
Waves of hostility came whirling over the footlights , and the mass exodus , which was to form such a feature of the run of the piece , started quite soon after the curtain had risen . The audible groans were also fairly disconcerting ... The curtain fell to mild applause , we took a scant three calls ( Peter Woodthorpe reports only one curtain call ) and a depression and a sense of anti-climax descended on us all .
Minstrel show
Meanwhile , at least some whites were interested in black song and dance by actual black performers . Nineteenth - century New York slaves shingle danced for spare change on their days off , and musicians played what they claimed to be `` Negro music '' on so - called black instruments like the banjo . The New Orleans Picayune wrote that a singing New Orleans street vendor called Old Corn Meal would bring `` a fortune to any man who would start on a professional tour with him '' . Rice responded by adding a `` Corn Meal '' skit to his act . Meanwhile , there had been several attempts at legitimate black stage performance , the most ambitious probably being New York 's African Grove theater , founded and operated by free blacks in 1821 , with a repertoire drawing heavily on Shakespeare . A rival theater company paid people to `` riot '' and cause disturbances at the theater , and it was shut down by the police when neighbors complained of the commotion .
Elizabethan government
The Secretary of State led the Council . Sir William Cecil effectively led it ; he was wise , cautious , cooperative with Elizabeth , trusted above all others , Elizabeth 's personal secretary , and chief adviser until his death , and therefore very influential ; due to his great administrative ability , he had the reputation of one of the greatest English statesmen -- historians have even debated whether the success of Elizabeth 's rule was more due to Sir William Cecil or Elizabeth . His son was also a member of Queen Elizabeth 's Privy council . Parliament
Yorick
The contrast between Yorick as `` a fellow of infinite jest , of most excellent fancy '' and his grim remains reflects on the theme of earthly vanity : death being unavoidable , the things of this life are inconsequential .
The Merchant of Venice
The play contains the earliest known use of the phrase `` with bated breath '' ( by Shylock , in Act I , Scene 3 , `` Shall I bend low and , in a bondman 's key , / With bated breath and whisp'ring humbleness , / Say this ... '' ) , which has come into common use to convey the idea of restraining one 's breathing in anticipation or supplicance ( in which the archaic `` bated '' is often misidentified as `` baited '' in modern usage ) .
Medieval theatre
A modernized adaptation by Carol Ann Duffy , the Poet Laureate , with Chiwetel Ejiofor in the title role , was performed at the National Theatre ( UK ) from April to July 2015 .
Nick Bottom
Godshalk further cites the work of George Steevens , who was able to find two vaguely parallel examples in seventeenth - century drama . In George Chapman 's The Ball , Scutilla asks Lady Lucina , ' have you devices / To jeer the rest ? ' Lucina answers , ' All the regiment of ' em , or I 'll break my bow - strings ' ( II. ii. 127 - 9 ) . Godshalk argues that the context implied by ' regiment ' is important , as it implies that the breaking ( or cutting ) of bowstrings should be seen in terms of military rather than civilian archery . Steeven 's other example is from Anthony Brewer 's The Covntrie Girle : A Comedie : ' Fidler , strike . / I strike you else ; -- and cut your begging bowstrings ' . Godshalk writes that `` the first ' strike ' means ' to play upon ' the fiddle ; the second ' strike ' may again suggest a military context for the cutting of bowstrings , though any reference to military archery is comic since the ' bow ' in this case is the fiddler 's bow . ''
The Merchant of Venice
The depiction of Jews in literature throughout the centuries bears the close imprint of Shylock . With slight variations much of English literature up until the 20th century depicts the Jew as `` a monied , cruel , lecherous , avaricious outsider tolerated only because of his golden hoard '' . Shylock
The Merchant of Venice
The date of composition for The Merchant of Venice is believed to be between 1596 and 1598 . The play was mentioned by Francis Meres in 1598 , so it must have been familiar on the stage by that date . The title page of the first edition in 1600 states that it had been performed `` divers times '' by that date . Salerino 's reference to his ship the Andrew ( I , i , 27 ) is thought to be an allusion to the Spanish ship St. Andrew , captured by the English at Cádiz in 1596 . A date of 1596 -- 97 is considered consistent with the play 's style .
Medieval theatre
The Feast of Fools was especially important in the development of comedy . The festival inverted the status of the lesser clergy and allowed them to ridicule their superiors and the routine of church life . Sometimes plays were staged as part of the occasion and a certain amount of burlesque and comedy may have entered the liturgical drama as a result of its influence .
The Comedy of Errors
Two early performances of The Comedy of Errors are recorded . One , by `` a company of base and common fellows '' , is mentioned in the Gesta Grayorum ( `` The Deeds of Gray '' ) as having occurred in Gray 's Inn Hall on 28 December 1594 . The second also took place on `` Innocents ' Day '' , but ten years later : 28 December 1604 , at Court .
Waiting for Godot
In the 1950s , theatre was strictly censored in the UK , to Beckett 's amazement since he thought it a bastion of free speech . The Lord Chamberlain insisted that the word `` erection '' be removed , `` ' Fartov ' became ' Popov ' and Mrs Gozzo had ' warts ' instead of ' clap ' '' . Indeed , there were attempts to ban the play completely . Lady Dorothy Howitt wrote to the Lord Chamberlain , saying : `` One of the many themes running through the play is the desire of two old tramps continually to relieve themselves . Such a dramatisation of lavatory necessities is offensive and against all sense of British decency . '' `` The first unexpurgated version of Godot in England ... opened at the Royal Court on 30 December 1964 . ''
Waiting for Godot
The critics were less than kind but `` ( e ) verything changed on Sunday 7 August 1955 with Kenneth Tynan 's and Harold Hobson 's reviews in The Observer and The Sunday Times . Beckett was always grateful to the two reviewers for their support ... which more or less transformed the play overnight into the rage of London . '' `` At the end of the year , the Evening Standard Drama Awards were held for the first time ... Feelings ran high and the opposition , led by Sir Malcolm Sargent , threatened to resign if Godot won ( The Best New Play category ) . An English compromise was worked out by changing the title of the award . Godot became The Most Controversial Play of the Year . It is a prize that has never been given since . ''

Minstrel show
Although the minstrel shows were extremely popular , being `` consistently packed with families from all walks of life and every ethnic group '' , they were also controversial . Integrationists decried them as falsely showing happy slaves while at the same time making fun of them ; segregationists thought such shows were `` disrespectful '' of social norms as they portrayed runaway slaves with sympathy and would undermine the southerners ' `` peculiar institution '' .
