Description

Explore the deep roots of seaside entertainment with "Don't Forget The Pierrots!" by Tony Lidington. This volume serves as the first authoritative historical textbook dedicated to the origins and evolution of British pierrot troupes and concert parties. It offers a detailed look at their popular performance heritage and how these groups shaped cultural history. Readers will learn how pierrot troupes evolved from European traditions like commedia dell'arte and minstrelsy into a major international cultural industry. The book traces the connection between these seaside performances, music hall traditions, and contemporary popular culture. It also examines how these troupes functioned to boost morale and national identity during key historical periods. As part of the Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies series, this book is an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the history of performance and British seaside culture. It provides a clear definition of the pierrot troupe and maps its growth from a single idea into a massive cultural phenomenon.
