Between the advent of the French Revolution and the short-lived
success of the Chartist Movement, overworked and underpaid
labourers struggled to achieve solidarity and collective
bargaining. That history has been told in numerous accounts of the
age, but never before has it been told in terms of the theatre of
the period. To understand the play lists of a theatre, it is
crucial to examine the community which that theatre serves. In the
labouring-class communities of London and the provinces, the
performances were adapted to suit the local audiences, whether
weavers, or miners, or field workers. Examining the conditions and
characteristics of representative provincial theatres from the
1790s to 1830s, Frederick Burwick argues that the meaning of a play
changes with every change in the performance location. As
contributing factors in that change, Burwick attends to local
political and cultural circumstances as well as to theatrical
activities and developments elsewhere.
