Do any of you have Opheliamachine by Magda Romanska in English, in digital form?

Would like to use it for one of my papers at the end of this semester and maybe even for my thesis but I can't find it anywhere. I only found a copy of it that's getting released in February, 2024.... 🥲

Joseph Urban, Two Mural Panels for the Ziegfeld Theatre: The Joy of Life, 1927. Oil on canvas. Above, as seen at the Cleveland Museum of Art exhibit on Jazz Age art and design.

Urban was also the architect of the theater. He said he wanted it to be a place where "people coming out of crowded hours and through crowded streets, may find life carefree, bright and leisured."

do you guys fuck with scenic and lighting designer jack kelly. like. i think he would design and paint sets. he would find it so fun to come up with insane visions for sets and find ways to execute them. he would go absolutely feral over lighting design. the color symbolism and the storytelling aspect etc. do you guys see my vision because he is living so clearly in my head.

sanji week day 4: modern day

sooo they are like in high school, rehashing for the theater club, more specifically for a play called One Piece, and Sanji is overdramatizing the Thriller Bark scene.

Elizabeth Russell was just as fiercely territorial in London, where she maintained a mansion in the upmarket district of Blackfriars. In 1596 the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, the playing company to which William Shakespeare belonged, was facing a crisis. The lease for the land where the acting troupe’s main venue, the Theatre in Shoreditch, stood was about to expire. Facing an uncertain future, the impresario James Burbage, who had created the Theatre, sunk a fortune into a new venture: a playhouse in Blackfriars. It cost a colossal £1,000 to purchase and renovate the property.

Unfortunately for Burbage and the players, the theatre was just over 120 feet from Elizabeth’s doorstep. Neither she nor her neighbours had objected to a previous theatre nearby, which had operated under the guise of a ‘private’ rehearsal space for the queen’s choristers (even though the paying public had attended performances there). But when she discovered that a ‘common playhouse’ was about to open in her elegant neighbourhood she was furious.

Galvanising her local community into action, Elizabeth got up a petition against the opening of the Blackfriars Theatre. Among its 30 signatories were Richard Field, Shakespeare’s first publisher, and Sir George Carey, the playing company’s patron. Neither dared object to Elizabeth’s anti-theatrical uprising.
