About This Item
Society for Theatre Research, London - first edition 2001 hardcover, 6¼" x 9½", with dust jacket AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket This is a major contribution to Theatre History by one of its most distinguished practitioners. The York Theatre is here traced to the early 1770s, with account of performances, players, promoters and scene painters from that period. Shakespeare was popular, and attendance by 'the most respectable inhabitants of the city' were frequent. The renovations, actors, disputes, notices and increasing sophistication of the audience are revealed era by era as this painstakingly-researched work reaches the post WW2 period. The Appendices includes 8 pages of 'Roles played in York by Famous Actors etc". As packed book weighs 1½kgs (3¼lbs), expect slightly-higher-than-usual shipping costs (ask, we'll quote first).
