توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
From the much-admired biographer of Charlotte Brontë, Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, and the Barrymores (“Margot Peters is
surely now . . . our foremost historian of stage
make-believe”—Leon Edel), a new biography of the
most famous English-speaking acting team of the twentieth
century.
Individually, they were recognized as extraordinary actors,
each one a star celebrated, imitated, sought after. Together,
they were legend. The Lunts. A name to conjure with. Alfred
Lunt and Lynn Fontanne worked together so imaginatively, so
seamlessly onstage that they seemed to fuse into one person.
Offstage, they brawled so famously and raucously over every
detail of every performance that they inspired the musical
Kiss Me, Kate. At home on Broadway, in London’s
West End, touring the United States and Great Britain, and even
playing “the foxhole circuit” of World War II, the
Lunts stunned, moved, and mystified audiences for more than
four decades. They were considered to be a rarefied taste, but
when they toured Texas in the 1930s, the audience threw cowboy
hats onto the stage.
Their private life was equally fascinating, as unusual as the
one they led in public. Friends like the critic Alexander
Woollcott (whom Edna Ferber once described as “the little
New Jersey Nero who thinks his pinafore is a toga”),
Noël Coward, Laurette Taylor, and Sidney Greenstreet
received lifelong loyalty and hospitality. Ten Chimneys, their
country home in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin, “is to
performers what the Vatican is to Catholics,” Carol
Channing once said. “The Lunts are where we all spring
from.”
In this new biography, Margot Peters catches the magic of Lunt
and Fontanne—their period, their work, their intimacy and
its contradictions—with candor, delicacy, intelligence,
and wit. She writes about their personal and creative choices
as deftly as she captures their world, from their meeting
(backstage, naturally)—when Fontanne was a young actress
in the first flush of stardom and Lunt a lanky midwesterner who
came in the stage door, bowed to her elaborately, lost his
balance, and fell down the stairs—and the early days when
an unknown and very hungry Noël Coward lived in a swank
hotel in a room the size of a closet and cadged meals at their
table to the telegram the famous couple once sent to a movie
mogul, turning down a studio contract worth a fortune
(“We can be bought, my dear Mr. Laemmle, but we
can’t be bored”).
We follow the Lunts through triumphs in plays such as The
Guardsman, The Taming of the Shrew, and Design for
Living; through friendships and feuds; through the
intricate way they worked with such playwrights and directors
as S. N. Behrman, Robert Sherwood, Giraudoux, Dürrenmatt,
Peter Brook, and with each other.
Margot Peters captures the gallantry of two remarkably gifted
people who lived for their art and for each other. Alfred Lunt
and Lynn Fontanne were once described as an “amazing duet
of intelligence and gaiety.” Margot Peters re-creates the
fun and the fireworks.
