The Power of Parody: Went With the Wind (1976), a Film Classic Revisited by The Carol Burnett Show (CBS, 1967-1978) by Taïna Tuhkunen

“…Rather than downplaying the over-romanticized Southern melodrama, the sketch proceeds through further exaggerations and distortions, seeking to shatter the cult text by spoofing, mocking, while paying a humorous homage to the evergreen background text. This essay argues that despite The Carol Burnett Show’s dodging of race issues, the way it demystifies and takes down the cultural monument named “Scarlett O’Hara”—by mingling it with other generic conventions, such as slapstick comedy—sheds light on how Gone With the Wind can also work as a revelatory intertext. …”

Performing Grief Inconsolable: Land, Lament and Love in Marina Carr’s Portia Coughlan by Vicky ANGELAKI

As the essay argues, the play’s recent revival at London’s Almeida Theatre (2023), directed by Carrie Cracknell, designed by Alex Eales and featuring Alison Oliver in the lead role, made a considerable contribution towards highlighting the roots of discomfort as well as the embodied experience of Carr’s eponymous heroine, towards emphasising concerns of grief and inconsolability, but also towards asking how consolation and agency may be conceivable for spectators within an environmentally focused staging and reading of the play. …”
