Hess mystery in journalese Hess mystery in journalese
A critical review of J Bernard Hut ton's Hess biography noting Hess early life Nazi ties and flight to Britain in 1941. The critique highlights dubious assertions, misnaming, lack of footnotes and references, and contrasts Hut ton's account with Speer and Hitler records while urging prudent judgment on Hess act and the Nuremberg trial context. The piece calls the work slapdash though it notes some strong discussion on Hess flight and the Nuremberg proceedings.

Ephemeral Drama Trends Reshape Postwar Stage Perceptions

It notes theatre as the most volatile art form linked to daily life, shifting from verse drama to absurdist and protest trends, producing ephemeral, regionally scattered movements rather than lasting eras.

Modern Drama and The Reader's Encyclopaedia Review
A critical look argues that drama defies simple labels across eras and nations. The Reader's Encyclopaedia of World Drama edited by Gassner and Quinn offers a comprehensive, non fashionable survey, contrasting traditionalists favoring well made plays with moderns who seek fragmented, existential theatre, while noting shared concerns like communication breakdown and technology's grip. The piece asserts traditionalists attract larger audiences, yet modernists push toward reflecting life’s incoherence, with Beckett cited as underrepresented in the encyclopedia.
