An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance chronicles the
history and development of theatre from the Roman era to the present
day. As the mosT public of arts, theatre constantly interacts with changing
social, political and intellectual movements and ideas, and Robert Leach s
masterful work restores to the foreground of this evolution the contributions
of women, gay people and ethnic minorities, as well as the theatres of the
English regions, and of Wales and Scotland,
Highly illustrated chapters trace the development of theatre through major
plays from each period; evaluations of playwrights; contemporary dramatic
theory; acting and acting companies; dance and music; the theatre
buildings themselves, and the audience, while also highlighting enduring
features of British theatre, from comic gags to the use of props.
This first volume spans from the earliest forms of performance to the popular
theatres of high society and the Enlightenment, tracing a movement from
the outdoor and fringe to the heart of the social world.The Illustrated History
acts as an accessible, flexible basis for students of the theatre, and for pure
fans of British theatre history there could be no better starting point,
