Book Description
Excerpt from Histrionics in the Dramas of Franz Grillparzer Grillparzer sometimes opens an act of a drama with a scene which is to create the atmosphere for the ensuing act. In Libussa, act II (viii, 134 the curtain rises on an animated, idyllic scene in the open. Men are laughing, talking, drinking, and playing checkers; dancing is going on in the background; a woman in the foreground is playing with a little child. Pres ently a number of farm laborers enter singing, and the next relay of men with joyous readiness leave the scene to take up the work in the fields. The game of checkers comes to a crisis, one of the players has staked all his money and lost, whereupon the other shoves back half of the heap, that they may go on playing. Now a young pair of dancers come forward; the old father of the girl, who is remonstrating at the love affair that is ourishing before his eyes, is then and there half won over to give his consent.
