Description

Explore the transformation of the London stage in The Birth of Modern Theatre: Rivalry, Riots, and Romance in the Age of Garrick. Published by Routledge, this book provides a vivid look at the eighteenth-century theatre scene, a period when the foundations of our modern stage were established. This work tracks the shift from declamatory acting to a more natural and psychologically based style. You will learn how the industry changed as theatres moved away from royal and noble patrons to rely on paying audiences. The text examines the rising power of the press in determining the success of performances and the changing social status of actors, who moved from being shunned by polite society to becoming modern celebrities. Perfect for students and enthusiasts of performing arts history, this book offers a detailed account of the era that defined the professional theatre landscape.
