If The Shrew Fits

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW Crescent Theatre, Birmingham, Thursday 29th June 2023 Regarded by some as problematic, Shakespeare’s comedy is often deemed to be sexist and/or misogynistic.  Well, some productions of it have undoubtedly been so, but the play itself is about misogyny, and there’s the difference.  While most comedies conventionally wind up with a wedding, this one, being about marriage…

The Phenomenon, as articulated by Jacques Vallee and Eric Davis (and as relayed by James Lacatski, Colm Kelleher and George Knapp), posits an ontological incommensurability between humans and the Others/NHI such that encounters result in an epistemological clash between the physical and psychical realms. While UAPs are NutsAndBolts', they are also 'paranormal', similarly to the wave-particle duality of light in quantum physics. This inherent absurdity gives rise to a kind of 3D 'display technology', whereby UFOs operate on the psychological and anthropocentric biases of the percipients to project false images or hallucinations of themselves. This ultimately serve to shape and thereby control, human culture. Historically, these manifestations might have been perceived or interpreted as angels, demons, or even Gods and thus serve to guide us via religion.

Written in stoneware: The potteries of Summersite

By Jonathan Monfiletto

A Yates County native who has collected pieces of pottery from various local stoneware manufacturers and researched the history of many of these companies recently reached out to me with a question about the succession of these producers in the Penn Yan area. She had found a stoneware batter pail marked “Conklin & Heimburger, Penn Yan” and wondered how this company might have related to the Mantell stoneware business.

This woman had previously sparked my interest in learning about Byron Ansley and Ansley’s Dairy after she asked me about the company behind an Ansley’s Dairy milk bottle she had come across. Naturally, she now sparked my interest in learning about stoneware manufacturers in Yates County; we have traded messages to share the information we have uncovered in our research, and now I present that research here.

In fact, my research into stoneware manufacturing overlapped with another topic I had begun researching at the time. You see, as it turns out, stoneware production in Yates County appears to have been concentrated around the foot of Keuka Lake – on the east branch, where the outlet flows out of the lake and heads toward Seneca Lake – because of “a choice bed of clay” in that area, according to a May 30, 1958 article in The Chronicle-Express. This area, now incorporated into the village of Penn Yan, was once its own separate settlement outside of the village proper. It was known as Summersite.

In 1832, George Campbell founded the first pottery at Summersite – in modern-day terms, think of the intersection of Lake Street and South Avenue and the location of Red Jacket Park – after possibly working at potteries in Manhattan before arriving in Penn Yan. Another source states John Campbell established a redware pottery in the area before 1830, while his son George took over the business by 1850. This source indicates John and George came from New York City. However, a newspaper advertisement dated February 20, 1832 announces George Campbell producing earthen water pipes, candle molds, and other earthenware at his factory at the foot of Crooked Lake.

The 1958 article, written by former Yates County Historian Frank Swann, mentions the firm of Savage & Knapp operating around the same time in the same area. That appears to have been a partnership of Joseph L. Savage and Samuel Knapp, who advertised in 1846 the sale of flint ware, bricks, and earthenware pieces. According to a chapter titled “The Dundee Connection” in a book titled Stoneware of Havana, NY, Savage also enjoyed a partnership in making stoneware in Dundee with James Holmes, of Barrington, who had discovered a bed of clay on Washington Street in Dundee. The Holmes & Savage partnership lasted just a short time – as did, presumably, the firm of Savage & Knapp – as Savage formed another partnership in the village of Havana (the former name of Montour Falls) by August 1850. In 1848, Holmes had already acquired another partner by the name of Purdee, and they continued making stoneware in Dundee.

Meanwhile, George Campbell sold his pottery in 1855 to James Mantell, who had come to Penn Yan from Lyons the year before. Mantell had been a potter in Lyons from 1840 to 1853 and thus was well prepared to keep Campbell’s business going. For a brief time, Mantell had a partner in Shem Thomas, who had arrived in Penn Yan in 1853 but moved on to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1856. Mantell continued his business on his own until around 1876, apparently concluding his work with his death. By this point, Swann states, the original clay deposit had been exhausted and “suitable supplies for pottery were brought from New Jersey as ballast in canal boats.”

Nevertheless, the pottery industry in Summersite remained strong, with Oscar Conklin, Mantel’s son-in-law, taking over the business. He worked with at least three partners during this time in business – his firms were known as Conklin & Patterson, Conklin & Mingay, and Conklin & Heimburger. F.J. Elliott & Co. purchased the business sometime in the 1880s – a handwritten note in our subject file dates this purchase as May 1883 – though I have not uncovered an end date for this firm or a successor to this business. At some point, this may have represented the end of the stoneware pottery industry in the Summersite area of Penn Yan.

Much like this major industry in the area, the end of Summersite is also not clear to me. I assume the settlement melded into the village of Penn Yan over time as the village grew up, but I have not yet found concrete evidence for this. What I have found, though, is concrete evidence for the start of this lakeside settlement.

According to Stafford Cleveland in his History and Directory of Yates County, the first settler at the foot of Keuka Lake was John McDowell in 1803 on land belonging to Abraham Wagener, building a double log house on the bank of the lake on the east side of the outlet. A year later, William Wall purchased a tract of land on the west side of the outlet – the present-day Indian Pines area – and took steps to form a village, including surveying the ground into lots. However, Wall died soon after, Wagener took possession of the property, and the proposed village never came to fruition.

However, on the east side of the outlet, a village did come into being with the name of Elizabethtown. By 1817, Meredith Mallory had built a flour or gristmill in the area at the head of the outlet, depending on the low fall of water near that location. However, during the construction of Mallory’s mill, Wagener raised the level of the dam at his mill at the foot of Main Street so there was insufficient water to turn the wheels at Mallory’s mill. By September 1818, Gilman Lovering was operating the Bath, Painted Post, and Geneva stagecoach line. The construction of the highway led to the establishment of several taverns in this area. Zara L. Walton purchased the line on January 1, 1819 and kept it going. Exactly one month after Walton’s purchase of the highway, on February 1, 1819, a group of citizens met at Peter Heltibidal’s tavern and approved a resolution naming the community Summersite.

No matter the name of the settlement, it did seem to hold promise for a major village. In addition to the taverns – Wallace Finch started the first one and was succeeded in its ownership by Heltibidal, George and Robert Shearman, and William Kimble – there were mechanics and a grocery, both presumably serving the stagecoach passengers and workers. In addition to the potteries, other industries sprang up in the area. Isaiah Kimble manufactured augurs and bits; later on, Azor Kimble established a carriage shop. When the Crooked Lake Steamboat Company was incorporated in April 1826, there were hopes for a boom in the village. However, the company never got off the ground – or out on the water.

The Crooked Lake Canal opened a few years later, and the age of the steamboats on Keuka Lake soon dawned. However, by that point, the sun seems to have set on Summersite. “The prospective city of Summersite has faded away,” Cleveland wrote in 1873, while Swann noted the community has been encompassed into the village of Penn Yan.

Südengland 2023 - Tag 7

Ladies and Gentlemen!    

Heute verlassen wir Canterbury und wir machen uns auf den Weg nach Windsor.

Canterbury hat uns ausnehmend gut gefallen und wir können sowohl die Stadt, als auch unsere Unterkunft guten Gewissens weiter empfehlen.

Eine Bleibe innerhalb des historischen Stadtkerns zu finden, die über einen eigenen Parkplatz für die Gäste verfügt, hat Seltenheitswert.

Wir konnten unser Auto stehen lassen und alle relevanten Sehenswürdigkeiten bequem fußläufig erreichen.

Unser Appartement verfügte über 2 Schlafzimmer. Das Vordere liegt zur sehr belebten Hauptstraße und hat ein Bad ensuite. Das Bad ist allerdings sehr eng und super schmal.

Das zweite Schlafzimmer liegt nach hinten zum Privatparkplatz und ist entsprechend ruhig, da hier ausschließlich Anwohner parken dürfen. Das Bad ist durch den kleinen Wirtschaftsraum (mit Waschmaschine, Wäschetrockner, Wäscheständer, Bügelbrett usw.) getrennt.

Die Parkplatzsituation wird noch durch ein supermodernes Pollersystem verschäft, der sich als Ring um die Altstadt zieht und gegen den Verkehr abriegelt.

Die Poller kommen jeden Vormittag automatisch aus dem Boden gefahren und gewähren nur bestimmten Autofahrern, darunter Anwohnern und Händlern, Zufahrt.

Die Poller wurden an 20 Stellen im gesamten Stadtzentrum installiert, um Angriffe „feindlicher Fahrzeuge“ zu verhindern. Damit sind natürlich diese bekloppten Amokfahrer gemeint, die sich immer wieder belebte Innenstädte aussuchen, um möglichst viele Opfer zu erwischen.

Nur bestimmte Gruppen – darunter Anwohner, Händler und Rettungskräfte – haben rund um die Uhr Zugang zum Stadtzentrum. Andere, wie Zustellfahrer und Postangestellte, dürfen die Poller nur nach 16:00 und vor 10:30 Uhr passieren.

Ganz clevere Zeitgenossen versuchen gerne einmal das Hochfahren der Poller zu verhindern indem sie ihr Fahrzeug darüber stellen. Das klappt aber nur so mittelmäßig ...

Gerne empfehlen wir auch unsere Stadtführerin, Kirsten, weiter. Für gerade einmal 30 Pfund, hatten wir hier ein unschlagbares Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.

Aber auch ein Spaziergang in Eigenregie durch die bezaubernden Straßen mit ihren Fachwerkhäusern und altmodischen Kneipen ist fast wie eine Reise in eine längst vergangene Zeit und man entdeckt so manches Kleinod.

Die malerische Stadt lockt seit dem Mittelalter als Wallfahrtsort Besucher an und dorthin reisten die Pilger aus London in Chaucers Canterbury Tales, um die Kathedrale zu besuchen.

Geoffrey Chaucer war ein mittelalterlicher englischer Dichter, Schriftsteller und Philosoph und einer der besten englischen Dichter aller Zeiten. Er gilt als Vater der englischen Sprache und Literatur. Ihm wurde auf der Kreuzung High Street und Best Lane eine Statue gewidmet.

Der Sockel dieser Statue stellt die Figuren aus Chaucers Prolog zu den Canterbury Tales dar. In den Canterbury Tales werden 29 Pilger erwähnt. Der Gag: ihre Gesichter werden von neuzeitlichen Einheimischen mit Verbindungen zu Canterbury dargestellt.

Der in Canterbury geborene Schauspieler Orlando Bloom ist, zusammen mit anderen, vorne auf dem Sockel als „Junger Knappe“ abgebildet. Allerdings hätten wir ihm im Leben nicht erkannt, wenn wir es nicht gewusst hätten. 

Canterburys zentrales Museum, Bibliothek und Kunstgalerie sind in einem wunderschönen Haus im Tudor-Stil an der High Street untergebracht. Es wurde im späten 19. Jahrhundert erbaut und ist nach dem in Canterbury geborenen Chirurgen James George Beaney benannt, der nach Australien auswanderte und nach seinem Tod 10.000 Pfund in Canterbury hinterließ, um ein Museum zu bauen.

Es wurde kürzlich modernisiert und ist voller Antiquitäten sowie griechischer und ägyptischer Artefakte, darunter eine mumifizierte Katze und ein Raum mit Gemälden lokaler Künstler wie Thomas Sidney Cooper.

Die kleinen Parks und Grünflächen in der Stadt laden überall zum verweilen, schlendern und entdecken ein. 

Uns hat es gut gefallen und wir können uns durchaus vorstellen diese schöne Stadt noch einmal zu besuchen. 

Mit unserem knappen Zeitbudget konnten wir nur ein bisschen an der Oberfläche kratzen.

Wir starten heute Morgen um 11 Uhr von unserem Parkplatz, nachdem wir unserem ganzen Krempel wieder im Auto verstaut haben.

Südlich umschiffen bzw. umfahren wir London und treffen, viele Verkehrsstaus später, in Windsor an unserem Appartement ein. 

Für morgen haben wir eine Fahrt mit dem “Duckmobil” gebucht. Was das ist und worum es dabei geht, das verrate ich dann morgen Abend.

Good Night!

Angie, Micha und der Hasenbär

[the-cat-at-the-theatre-door]

Something I've been wondering since a lot of the older cats tend to get cast younger and younger recently - are there any performers you could plausibly see as "real" younger versions of those characters?

Anon, that is actually a super interesting question (and I hope I'm understanding what you're asking for; apologies if I misunderstood - if you are asking whether there are performers who have not played the role but played others and can get away with playing them, honestly I'm not a big proponent of having all super young swings and understudies, and I've spoken at length about that before), but there *are* actually a handful of performers of past (which means that they *were* young when they initially took the role and looked it) and present that I could feasibly see as younger (and by "younger" I mean like more in the 20s) faceclaims or "versions" of my beloved older cats (and that I often will note back too when I'm trying to picture them in my mind).

From what I have heard and seen of them, they also give off more of a younger vibe, either due to the lack of maturity in their voices, or their general dispositions, that I think works well as these characters but younger. Imagine a different bunch of teenagers and gapped teeth babies running around the Junkyard hollering at one another and whining at their parents before *they* became the parents, ahaha.

I can give you some of my favourites to avoid wasting too much space. I can do a Part 2 with Asparagus/Gus, Old D and Grizabella if you're interested:

Skimbleshanks:

Matthew Gould (on his first go around; he aged into it much better the second go - Ross Finnie could technically also take this spot)

Philip Bertioli (and this is a costume thing but his vest always looked too big for him which just amped up the baby vibe)

Giovanni DiGabriele

Hayden Baum (specifically his first go around - that is a baby)

Tyler Keller (who looks *particularly* old photo like in this shot with the filter and expression - slap a black and white or sepia filter over that and tell me that's not an old photograph)

Taylor Scanlan (also *very* baby and *very* pretty*).

(Others for consideration if these don't tickle your fancy: Sandy Rass, Sean McManus, Shaun Henson, Jon-Paul Christensen, Philip Comley, Dann Dunn, Brian O'Muiri, Billy Mahoney, Jarryd Nurden, Park Seong-ryong, Bryan Mottram

Jellylorum:

Catrin Darnell

Susan Powers

Joanna Beck

Lindsay Dyett

Jeanne Montano

Erin James

Annemarie Rosano

(Others: Liz Izen, Louise Tomkins, Bonnie Simmons, Nina Hennessey, Marcy DeGonge, Jennifer Vaden, Thea MacNeil, Lisa-Marie Parker, Carrie Willis, Megan Arseneau, Taila Halford, and Alice Batt. S/O to Pia Douwes who toed the baby line, and nearly all Jellylorums in the Shiki production and a good chunk of the US Tour 5 who are and were - more often than not - quite young and look it)

Jennyanydots:

Stephanie Johns

Lisbeth Brittain

Laura Darkins

Lucinda Shaw

Erica Leigh Hansen

Ellie Nunan

(Others: Mary Trainor, Renée Knapp, Kati Farkas, Jennifer Cohen, Amanda Bay, Laura McCulloch, Melina Charles, Hanny Aden, Alice Redmond, Abigail Dever, Sarah-Marie Maxwell kinda sorta but tbh I think it's the makeup, Eloise Kropp, Maria Briggs - who is like elementary school Jenny -, Emily Jeanne Phillips, Ayumi Kato, and Megan Carton)

#If I'd have to pick ultimate showdown visual favourites it'd be Taylor Scanlan #Erica Leigh and Jeanne or Annemarie so imagine that as a group #Skimbleshanks #Jellylorum #Jennyanydots #jellicles ask because jellicles dare #anonymous #we used to be with it and cool but then what it was changed and IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU #and what i mean in the previous description is like...some people are young and look young #and are imo not able to pull off convincing me that they are potentially more along the middle aged spectrum #some people are young but they *do* have a more mature look about their face and disposition #and they have a lot easier of a time convincing me that they are middle aged (even if they aren't) #whoever the anon is asking all these neat questions know that i love you and am giving you a present in my mind
