Drama in the Romantic period underwent radical changes affecting
theatre performance, acting, and audience. Theatres were rebuilt
and expanded to accommodate larger audiences, and consequently
acting styles and the plays themselves evolved to meet the
expectations of the new audiences. This book examines
manifestations of change in acting, stage design, setting, and the
new forms of drama. Actors exercised a persistent habit of stepping
out of their roles, whether scripted or not. Burwick traces the
radical shifts in acting style from Garrick to Kemble and Siddons,
and to Kean and Macready, adding a new dimension to understanding
the shift in cultural sensibility from early to later Romantic
literature. Eye-witness accounts by theatre-goers and critics
attending plays at the major playhouses of London, the provinces,
and on the Continent are provided, allowing readers to identify
with the experience of being in the theatre during this tumultuous
period.
