New Readings in Theatre History

By Jacky Bratton

Theater history has often been interpreted in ways which highlight and omit key elements. Jacky Bratton explores this dilemma by examining how theater history has been chronicled and interpreted. Analyzing case studies from nineteenth-century British theater, Bratton reveals the difference between the existence of the drama (plays and play literature) and the stage (performance, theater building, and attendance).
