''The World of Carl Sandburg'' was a stage presentation of selections from the poetry and prose of Carl Sandburg, chosen and arranged by Norman Corwin, starring Bette Davis. There was a 21-week national tour 1959–1960, co-starring Davis's husband Gary Merrill, towards the end, he was replaced by Barry Sullivan. Afterwards, there was a one-month run at the Henry Miller Theatre in the fall of 1960, co-starring Leif Erickson. Guitar accompaniment and singing was provided by the folk singer Clark Allen. For the opening performances, both of the tour and on Broadway, Sandburg himself spoke after the production. A printed text version, with commentary by Corwin and Sandburg, was then published in 1961. == Norman Corwin background == Since the 1930s, Corwin had been adapting Sandburg for the stage in various ways. In 1958, he was approached by Leonard Karzmar to create a production honoring Sandburg in his 80th year. The result was a Hollywood star-studded evening held on the campus of UCLA. When, a few months later, Corwin was asked for "suggestions for an evening of 'concert style' theater", he chose the Sandburg Tribute as a model, but reworked it for three performers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The World of Carl Sandburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
