James Robinson Planche was one of the most prolific and successful
of nineteenth-century playwrights. In a career spanning fifty years
he wrote over one hundred and eighty pieces of all types, from
pantomime and farce to melodrama and opera, for production at a
wide range of London theatres. This book offers a representative
selection of his most popular plays. It includes one melodrama -
The Vampire; or The Bride of the Isles (1820), which represents the
first treatment of the vampire theme on the English stage; one
farce - The Garrick Fever (1839); three 'fairy' extravaganzas -
Beauty and the Beast (1841), Fortunio and his Seven Gifted Servants
(1843), and The Discreet Princess; or, The Three Glass Distaffs
(1855); one 'classical' extravaganza - The Golden Fleece; or, Jason
in Colchis and Medea in Corinth (1845); and one revue of events in
contemporary London - The Camp at the Olympic (1853). The volume
includes a lengthy introduction which sets the plays in the
theatrical context of their time, a chronological record of
Planche's life, a complete list of his plays, and a bibliography.
