- Abstract
- en_US Here are ten plays written in verse and even in ballad form. There are helpful director's notes from Beliveau on 227-30. I tried two of the presentations: The Four Winds Talk It Over and The Four Apes. I found them frankly wordy and difficult to relate to. The Four Apes may have most interest for us today. As Beliveau notes, it refers to Munich and the recent Nazi advances in places like Czechoslovakia. The cover art suggests its anti-Nazi stance. My dealer's notes says that these pieces were originally written for radio and were broadcast over the NBC network. Kreymborg was a major literary presence in his day, which would have generally been before the time of this book.
