The Matchmaker

Taylor Theatre Playbills

The playbill for Taylor University’s Fall 1960 performance of The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder.

Before the world fell in love with Hello, Dolly!, Thornton Wilder’s uproarious play The Matchmaker introduced Ms. Dolly Gallagher Levi: a cunning, crafty, and thoroughly modern woman who knows a good catch when she sees one. When the wealthy Horace Vandergelder hires matchmaker Ms. Levi to find him a wife, Dolly doesn't need to look far to find his perfect mate. While Dolly is “arranging things” for Mr. Vandergelder, the young, hopeless romantics of Yonkers reap the rewards of Dolly’s generosity.

The Evolution Of Ibenism, Kenneth Cox

Student Scholarship

This paper explores the dramatic evolution of Henrik Ibsen, tracing his development from nineteenth-century romanticism to the realism that defined modern drama. By analyzing ten representative plays—ranging from Lady Inger of Ostrat (1855) to When We Dead Awaken (1899)—the study examines how Ibsen’s work transitioned through early historical romanticism, a middle period of social criticism, and a final phase of psychological symbolism. The author utilizes the six elements of drama defined in Aristotle's Poetics—plot, character, thought, diction, music, and spectacle—as a framework to compare these distinct periods of Ibsen’s career. 

The analysis of plot reveals a move away from the …

A Study Of The Dramatic Criticism Of Charles Lamb, Lyman Francis Smart

English Language and Literature ETDs

In the one hundred fifty years since Charles Lamb published what might be termed his first formal criticism, opinions of his stature as a critic have waxed and waned. His critical writing has been attached as the "blasphemies of a poor manic," and praised as possibly the greatest applied criticism in English. Recent critical estimates of British criticism have tended to ignore Lamb or to damn him with faint praise.

The purpose of this study is to re-examine the earlier attitudes toward Lamb and his writing on the drama, and to look with fresh perspective at the most noteworthy of …
