biographical note A Biography of Miles Malleson

By Maya Cantu

As a playwright, screenwriter, director, producer, and character actor, Miles Malleson established himself as an artist of dazzling versatility. Yet while Malleson “acted the fool most memorably”1 in dozens of plays and films, he was also a playwright of provocative wit and searching insight. Described by The Manchester Guardian as “no respecter of authority,” Malleson drew upon a lifelong engagement in progressive politics in plays about modern love, sex, social justice, and personal freedom. In such nuanced comedies of commitment as Youth, The Fanatics and Yours Unfaithfully, Malleson portrayed the conflicts of idealists fighting for a better world, while fumbling to decipher the mysteries of the self.

William Miles Malleson formed his values amid “two family backgrounds:” one agnostic and one “passionately puritanical.”2 He was born on May 25, 1888 in South Croydon, Surrey, as the son of Myrrha Borrell and druggist Edmund Taylor Malleson—whose own father had served as a close associate of liberal political philosopher John Stuart Mill. Moving to Brighton with his parents and sister Alice, Malleson enjoyed an idyllic, middle-class childhood with his “enormously unbelievably happy family group.”3 However, holidays spent at his Uncle Philip’s fireand-brimstone vicarage in Great Tew fueled Malleson’s early rebellion against Victorian morality.

As a student, Malleson cultivated eclectic talents, including performing. In 1898, Malleson entered the Junior School at Brighton College, where he served as captain of the cricket team, followed by Emmanuel College at Cambridge from 1908 to 1912.

Stung by the loss of a freshman cricketing match, Malleson ventured into Cambridge’s Amateur Dramatic Club, where he “acted very regularly throughout the three years.”4 He

also excelled at degrees in history and music, so impressing Ralph Vaughan Williams with a group of his English art songs that the eminent composer encouraged Malleson to pursue further studies on the continent. As Malleson recalled, “When I told him I had about half a crown in the world, that didn’t seem very possible, and so, after all, the stage it was.”5 Following an apprenticeship at the Liverpool Playhouse, Malleson gained acting experience and wrote short plays, including A Man of Ideas (1913) at Herbert Beerbohm Tree’s Academy (today, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts).

At Tree’s Academy, Malleson met the extraordinary Lady Constance Annesley.

The rebel daughter of an Irish earl, who performed under the stage name Colette O’Niel, Annesley later distinguished herself as a perceptive novelist, memoirist, and travel writer. Two decades later, she recalled Malleson as: The only student at Tree’s who came anywhere near genius…. He acted, wrote plays, composed music, sang, played the fiddle and the piano, and had an unerring instinct for the ‘production’ side of the theatre….

Miles Malleson looked exactly like a hobgoblin—with his humorous, intelligent eyes peering whimsically from behind rimless pince-nez…. M. and I didn’t exactly fall in love: we slipped into it.6 In 1915—following the mutual agreement to embark upon an open marriage—the couple eloped, only for Annesley’s outraged family to demand a church wedding officiated by Constance’s godfather, the Primate of All Ireland.

During the World War I years, Malleson blended political activism with his rising career in the theater. Both Miles and Constance moved among bohemian

biographical note circles, joining movements in pacifism, socialism, and women’s suffrage, as well as causes of free love. Following the lead of Constance’s sister Lady Clare Annesley— who would, in 1928 announce her first run as a Labour MP candidate—Miles and Constance became actively involved with the Independent Labour Party (ILP) and the No-Conscription Fellowship (NCF).

Malleson also powerfully confronted the horrors of a “world gone mad” with his antiwar plays. With ‘D’ Company and Black ‘ell (to be presented jointly as a Mint Further Reading on July 16), he drew upon his own experience serving with the City of London Fusiliers in Malta; he had been invalided in January 1915, due to “weakness of the feet.”

In October of 1916, the British government seized copies of both one-act plays from the publisher, denouncing them as a “deliberate calumny on the British soldier.”

Throughout the 1920s, Malleson’s political comedies balanced the playwright’s commitment to social reform with sparkling dialogue and subtle craftsmanship. Debuting to critical acclaim in 1925, Conflict paralleled Malleson’s work as director of the ILP’s Arts Guild, affiliated with over a hundred amateur theater groups that produced a wide range of plays, from new Labour dramas to works by Shaw and Toller. In 1927, The Fanatics offered Malleson his greatest West End commercial success. Running for 313 performances, The Fanatics affirmed Malleson’s convictions in a more honest and liberated post-WWI world, and provoked discussion with its daring themes of premarital sex and a scene of onstage semi-nudity. Malleson also offered a probing look at the complexities of polyamory in Yours Unfaithfully (1933), which received its 2016 world premiere at the Mint. Inspired by the open marriage of Bertrand and Dora Russell, the play also drew upon Malleson’s own open marriages, both to Constance (who divorced Malleson in 1922), as well as the physician Joan Billson, who he wed in 1923 (the second of three marriages).

While writing his modern plays, Malleson earned accolades as “the best Shakespearean actor in the contemporary English theatre,”7 as well as for his skill in Restoration comedy.

Hailed for such signature fools and fops as Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Twelfth Night) and Sir Benjamin Backbite (The School for Scandal), Malleson would later be remembered as “an artist of imagination and depth…. He excelled in comedy that came from guileless but not silly men. His nit-wits had souls as well as stupidities. What might have been merely grotesque was never so, it was so lit by human feeling.”8

Although Malleson wrote a number of plays in the 1930s and 1940s, including the Labour-themed period drama Six Men of Dorset (1934; co-written with Harry Brooks), he increasingly devoted his time to the British cinema. With such historical pageants as Victoria the Great (1937), as well as the 1940 fantasy The Thief of Bagdad, Malleson became noted as one of England’s most successful screenwriters. Appearing in dozens of films, Malleson regularly stole scenes as an array of blustering and bumbling “jovial old gentlemen,”9 including the poetry-quoting hangman in Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) and Reverend Chasuble in The Importance of Being Earnest (1952).

Starting with 1958’s Dracula, he also made memorable comic cameos in the “Hammer Horror” films.

Malleson alternated his film work with continued vitality on the London stage.

After contributing an “unsurpassably lifelike Polonius”10 to John Gielgud’s 1944 production of Hamlet, Malleson joined Tyrone Guthrie’s company at the Old Vic. Malleson returned to playwriting with vernacular, prose versions of Molière’s plays, in which he frequently starred. Malleson conceived these “free adaptations” with the goal of drawing working-class audiences beyond the West End. The Arts Council of Great Britain toured his 1949 version of The Miser to Yorkshire mining communities, before it played the Old Vic. Malleson’s six Molière adaptations drew both popular and critical acclaim: “the new text (of The Bourgeois Gentleman; retitled The Prodigious Snob) loses neither its style nor vivacity,” observed The Manchester Guardian in 1951.

Banned from entering the United States during the McCarthy blacklists, Malleson concluded his acting career with an American musical: playing Merlin in the 1964 London

Remembered as one of the most versatile English theater artists of his time, Malleson can now be recognized as a strikingly modern playwright whose works resonate within a new era of activism. Blending political satire, psychological drama, and romantic comedy, Malleson’s plays brim with wit and “ethical passion.”11 These works stemmed from his conviction, shared with the protagonist of The Fanatics, in the necessity of living “by what you believe, which is difficult…and not by what you don’t believe, which is easy….

The thing is to keep one’s fanaticism, and to keep one’s humanity.” At the same time, Malleson’s plays probe the uncertainties of the human condition: the rich “nine/ tenths that we know nothing about” (Yours Unfaithfully). Deftly dramatizing the conflicts of twentieth-century progressivism, and bridging personal and political divides, Malleson’s plays urge both lovers and voters to get involved.

Conflict MINT THEATER COMPANY finds and produces worthwhile plays from the past that have been lost or forgotten. It is our mission to create new life for these plays through research, dramaturgy, production, publication, readings and a variety of enrichment programs.

Under the leadership of Jonathan Bank as Producing Artistic Director, Mint has secured a place in the crowded theatrical landscape of New York City. We have received Special Obie and Drama Desk Awards recognizing the importance of our mission and our success in fulfilling it. Terry Teachout of The Wall Street Journal writes that the Mint has a “a near-perfect track record of exhuming forgotten plays of the previous century that deserve a happier fate.”

Our process of excavation, reclamation and preservation makes an important contribution to the art form and its enthusiasts. Scholars have the chance to come into contact with historically significant work that they’ve studied on the page but never experienced on the stage.

Local theatergoers have the opportunity to see plays that would otherwise be unavailable to them, while theatergoers elsewhere may also have that opportunity in productions inspired by our success. Important plays with valuable lessons to teach—plays that have been discarded or ignored—are now read, studied, performed, discussed, written about and enjoyed as a result of our work.

Sharing with our audience the context in which a play was originally created and how it was first received is an essential part of what we do. Our “EnrichMINT Events” enhance the experience of our audience and help to foster an ongoing dialogue around a play. These post-performance discussions feature world class scholars discussing complex topics in an accessible way and are always free and open to the general public. Our “Further Readings” program—an ongoing series of concert-

biographies

style play readings—offers our audience an opportunity to delve deeper into the work of some of our favorite playwrights.

We not only produce lost plays, but we are also their advocates. We publish our work and distribute our books, free of charge to libraries, theaters and universities. Our catalog of books now includes an anthology of seven plays entitled Worthy but Neglected: Plays of the Mint Theater plus five volumes in our Reclaimed series, each featuring the work of a single author: Teresa Deevy, Harley Granville Barker, St. John Hankin and Arthur Schnitzler.
