[Brideshead]

“In Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited, Lord Sebastian Flyte turns the pages of the News of the World and sighs, “Another naughty Scoutmaster.” This was 1923, only a few years after the Boy Scouts had been created, but they had already become a source of indelicate mirth.

[…]

“Most good schoolmasters,” Waugh wrote, “are homosexual by inclination—how else could they endure their work?””

“Brideshead Revisited” – Stage Play (Adaptation)
From the novel by Evelyn Waugh
UK national tours in 1993 by SNAP Theatre Company and 1995 by Charles Vance
M14, F 8. Several doubles possible
Published by Samuel French, London, 1994 ISBN 0 573 01730 1

Evelyn Waugh described the theme of his classic novel as “the operation of a divine grace on a group of diverse but closely connected characters.” This portrait of the interweaving relationships and fortunes of a desperately charming, if eccentric, family and their influences on Charles Ryder has been faithfully adapted for the stage, preserving all the sharp wit and candid social commentary of Waugh’s narrative. The scenes slip easily into one another to provide a dream-like element to the story, presented to us through memory, of Ryder’s struggle to make sense of his life, loves, society, and religion, and ultimately to find his own salvation. Period: 1943, and the 1920

“I remember as a young man reading Brideshead Revisited and thinking: ‘Christ, I can’t be a writer because it’s full of descriptions of trees and flowers, and I don’t know the names of any.’””

The original 1981 production was so influential that it had all of America wearing cricket sweaters and vintage linen vests—and even eventually inspired Marc Jacobs’ seminal spring 2005 Louis Vuitton men’s collection, which included an LV teddy bear.

The Indian Institute (now the home of the History Faculty) was designed by Basil Champneys. The photograph used on the above postcard probably dates from soon after 1896 when the building was completed.
