Paperback. Condition: New. Through nine case studies of productions ranging from Shakespeare's history plays to musical farce, this illustrated volume explores three themes: the ways in which Britons re-created their own history in theatrical genres; how history on stage was used to develop political and national identities, particularly in America; and the fascination with the exotic and authenticity in theatrical events such as The Grand Pantomime Ballet of the Death of Captain Cook (1789).…

Paperback. Condition: New. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, historical subjects became some of the most popular topics for stage dramas of all kinds on both sides of the Atlantic. This collection of essays examines a number of extraordinary theatrical works in order to cast light on their role in shaping a popular interpretation of historical events. The medium of drama ensured that the telling of these histories - the French Revolution and the American War of Independence, for example, or the travels of Captain Cook and Christopher Columbus - were brought to life through words, music and spectacle. The scale of the productions was often ambitious: a water tank with model floating ships was deployed at Sadler's Wells for the staging of the Siege of Gibraltar, and another production on the same theme used live cannons which set fire to the vessels in each performance. This illustrated volume, researched and written by experts in the field, explores contemporary theatrical documents (playbills, set designs, musical scores) and images (paintings, prints and illustrations) in seeking to explain what counted as history and historical truth for the writers, performers and audiences of these plays. In doing so it debates the peculiar contradictions of staging history and re-examines some spectacular box office hits.…
