Noel Langley & Co.: Some South Africans in Showbiz Abroad

摘要

This is a profile of Durban-born Noel Langley (1911-1980), currently of interest as a playwright, novelist and screenwriter who mainly in the interwar years made it as a South African success story in Britain and the United States. With the recent centenary of his birth as a marker, he is in need of revival. Other associated writers and performers impinging on his career are mentioned as evidence of a generation now neglected, yet abundantly successful in their day.View full textDownload full textKeywordsLangley, Durban, dramaturgy, Wizard of Oz , satire, stardomRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1013929X.2012.645356
