Writing in The Guardian (12.04.13), Kathy Lette, the wife of Geoffrey Robertson QC, a leading human rights lawyer who is a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, states of Mae West: Her first play, which she wrote, directed and starred in, was coolly titled Sex. When raided by the police, rather than close the play, West chose to stand trial. The judge convicted her of “corrupting the morals of youth” and sentenced her to 10 days in jail where she witnessed enough homosexuality to write her next play,The Drag.

Robert Pinsky, the U.S. poet who is a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, and who contributed poetry to Issue 7 of Interlitq, has adapted Friedrich von Schiller’s play ‘Wallenstein’

Robert Pinsky

Robert Pinsky, the U.S. poet who is a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, and who contributed poetry to Issue 7 of Interlitq, has adapted Friedrich von Schiller’s play Wallenstein (“Robert Pinsky adapts ‘Wallenstein’ for Shakespeare Theatre, Peter Marks, The Washington Post, 18.04.13): ”This evening, then, concerns only Wallenstein’s war, the one he waged on various Middle European fronts for an emperor in whom he lost belief — and who lost faith in him. And in the bitterly detached commentary of Wallenstein in the afterlife that Pinsky has created for this adaptation, a Brechtian dimension is added that humanizes Wallenstein (pronounced “Vallenshtine”) and helps to illuminate a seismic betrayal as an act of extraordinary selflessness.”
