The Theatre of Charles Ludlam (1943-1987)
No full textCette monographie sur l’œuvre théâtrale de Charles Ludlam (1943-1987), dramaturge, comédien, metteur en scène et directeur de la Ridicoulous Theatrical Company (1967-1987) à new york, s’attache à mettre en valeur le fonctionnement poétique des pièces. A partir de l’étude de la réception, des archives et des commentaires de Ludlam, et surtout, des pièces elles-mêmes, il s’agit de réexaminer la validité des jugements critiques portés sur l’œuvre, qui n’a pas fait l’objet de réévaluation sérieuse depuis le contexte immédiat de la création des pièces. Prenant nos distances avec les classifications habituelles du dramaturge (théâtre gay, théâtre de divertissement, théâtre parodique), nous montrons que la compréhension de l’œuvre de Ludlam ne peut avoir lieu sans une confrontation à la tradition de la pensée du théâtre occidental. Ludlam entretient ainsi un rapport ambigu et ambivalent au milieu de l’avant-garde dans lequel il s’inscrit, qui explique en partie les contresens dont il a été victime.This monograph on the theatrical works of Charles Ludlam (1943-1987), playwright, actor, director and founder of the Ridiculous Theatrical Company (1967-1987) in New York City, aimes at exploring the poetic underpinnings of the plays. Based on the study of the works’ reception, of Ludlam’s archive an down commentaries, and above all, of the plays per se, our purpose was ton reexamine the validity of the critical judgements on works which have note been seriously reconsidered since their original opening. Distancing ourselves from the usual labels attached to the playwright (gay theatre, entertainment, parody) we show that any real understanding of Ludlam ought to rely on an confrontation with the tradition of and reflection on western theatre practices. Ludlam thus enjoyed an ambiguous and ambibalent relationship with the avant-garde milieu of which he was part, which accounts in part for the misundersandings to which his work has fallen prey

Decades after his death, his place in the chronicle of American theater has remained constant, but his influence has changed. Although his Ridiculous Theatrical Company shut its doors, the Ludlamesque Ridiculous has continued to thrive and remain a groundbreaking genre, maintaining its relevance and potency by metamorphosing along with changes in the LGBTQ community.
Author Sean F. Edgecomb focuses on the neo-Ridiculous artists Charles Busch, Bradford Louryk, and Taylor Mac to trace the connections between Ludlam’s legacy and their performances, using alternative queer models such as kinetic kinship, lateral historiography, and a new approach to camp. Charles Ludlam Lives! demonstrates that the queer legacy of Ludlam is one of distinct transformation—one where artists can reject faithful interpretations in order to move in new interpretive directions.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/visualandperformingarts-books/1024/thumbnail.jp

Studies on the bacteriology and epidemiology of infections in early infancy
Full text linkFor about twelve years the writer has been
engaged intermittently in field and laboratory
studies on certain aspects of infection in infants
especially the new -born. His interest in this
subject was aroused in 1939 by Professor Charles
McNeil who was anxious at the time that the mode
of spread of thrush in maternity hospitals should
be investigated. The work the writer carried
out in this subject is described in Part III of
this thesis and some of it has already been
published jointly with Dr. (now Professor) J. L.
Henderson (Ludlam & Henderson, 1942). It was
inevitable that at the same time attention should
be attracted by the high incidence of staphylococcal
infections in infancy. Research on this was begun
and involved much preliminary laboratory work which
occupied most of the available time for several
years. Later, after the writer had moved to
Nottingham the work on staphococci was continued,
mainly work on the nasal carriage of Stáah aureus
in infancy. Some of this latter work will be
published shortly (Ludlam, 1953). While in
Nottingham the writer was asked to investigate the
aetiology of an outbreak of neonatal pneumonia.
The finding of pharyngeal inclusion bodies in the
affected infants led to further investigations which resulted in unexpected conclusions that disagreed with previous work on the subject. This
research has already been published (Ludlam, 1951).
The latter subjects, staphylococcal infection and
pharyngeal inclusion bodies, comprise Parts II and
IV of the thesis.At the request of a Sub- Committee of the
Scientific Advisory Committee of the Department of
Health for Scotland, set up to report on neonatal
deaths due to infection, the writer prepared a review on the bacteriology and epidemiology of
infancy. This was later published (Ludlam, 1947)
and has now been modified and brought up to date to
form an introduction to the thesis (Part I)
