Description

This comprehensive academic study examines the remarkable career of Hester Santlow, an English dancer-actress who performed at Drury Lane from 1706 to 1733. Author Moira Goff draws on extensive archival research to document Santlow's exceptional contributions to theatrical dance during the Georgian era. The book traces her diverse repertoire across dance dramas by John Weaver, pantomimes by John Thurmond and Roger, and virtuoso pieces choreographed by Mr. Isaac and Anthony L'Abbe. Goff's analysis reveals how Santlow's unique blend of dancing and acting skills shaped the development of dance on the London stage. The study also explores Santlow's personal life and the broader context of her performances within the Performance in the Long Eighteenth Century series, offering scholars and theatre historians valuable insights into this influential performer's legacy.
