The Routledge Anthology of Restoration and Eighteenth-Century
Performance brings together a selection of particularly memorable
performances, beginning with Nell Gwyn in a 1668 staging of Secret
Love, and moving chronologically towards the final performance of
John Philip Kemble's controversial adaptation of Thomas Otway's
Venice Presever'd in October 1795. This volume contains a wealth of
contextual materials, including contemporary reviews, portraits,
advertisements, and cast lists. By privileging event over
publication, this collection aims to encourage an understanding of
performance that emphasizes the immediacy - and changeability - of
the theatrical repertoire during the long eighteenth century.
Offering an invaluable insight into the performance culture of the
time, The Routledge Anthology of Restoration and Eighteenth-Century
Performance is a unique, much-needed resource for students of
theatre.
