{"product_id":"blok-meyerhold-and-the-fairground-michael-craig-9798369884607","title":"Blok, Meyerhold and The Fairground Booth","description":"Blok wrote the play The Fairground Booth in 1906 in the wake of the 1905 revolution which was seen as a precuser to the 1917 october revolution. As Blok himself said it seemed he \"dragged it up out of the police department of his soul\". The play itself was received with a mixture of derision and delight when it was first perfromed by Blok and Meyerhold in 1906.\u003cbr\u003eBlok and Meyerhold's production of the The Fairground Booth was one of those seminal plays which changed the whole direction and context of theatre in Russia. Meyerhold's subsequent innovations had an impact not simply on the course of Russian theatre but also to a large extent influenced the direction in which other directors developed their ideas and work. The Fairground Booth was a prototype for the explosion of theatrical innovations spearheaded by Meyerhold but it also inspired such directors as Tairov and Vakhtangov.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is not intended as an interpretation of the play as such but is written with the aim of creating a context in which this enigmatic and often overlooked play can be understood and enjoyed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Craig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8369884601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798369884607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Michael Craig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45980947284223,"sku":"9798369884607","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_076f68ad-855d-4280-98bc-35d8fbb12266.jpg?v=1722417314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blok-meyerhold-and-the-fairground-michael-craig-9798369884607","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
