Synopsis
Excerpt from Thirty Years at the Play, And, Dramatic Table Talk
For nearly thirty years we have sat side by side in the playhouse, and for not one moment has our sincere friendship been disturbed, nor our energy slackened in the cause of the art we have loved so Well. Accept a tribute of my regard for a loyal companion in the dedication to you of this unworthy little volume of memo randa. We have weathered many a storm together, and I will cordially own that when my heart has grown faint, courage has come again by contemplating the cheerful smile on your welcome face.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an insiderās perspective on the theatre world, spanning three decades, from 1860-1890. At a time when the theatrical profession was rife with backstage politics and public disdain, the author offers a candid and engaging account of the challenges, triumphs, and backstage gossip of a bygone era. The book chronicles the transformative impact of figures like Henry Irving, whose dedication to the craft ushered in a new golden age for the theatre. It details the āmanagerial cabalsā that plagued the industry and how these were overcome, while highlighting the critical role of newspapers in the development of the theatre as an art form. Delving into the social climate of the time, the book explores the evolving relationship between the theatre and its audience. It illuminates how the stage evolved from a place of crude entertainment to a medium for serious artistic expression and social commentary. The author argues that the playwrights and actors of this period laid the foundation for the modern theatre. They brought a new level of realism, depth, and thoughtfulness to their work, breaking away from the melodramatic conventions of the past. By offering illuminating insights into this crucial period, this book not only serves as a valuable historical resource but also highlights the power of the theatre to reflect and shape society.
