This book offers an innovative account of how audiences and actors
emotionally interacted in the English theatre during the middle
decades of the eighteenth century, a period bookended by two of its
stars: David Garrick and Sarah Siddons. Drawing upon recent
scholarship on the history of emotions, it uses practice theory to
challenge the view that emotional interactions between actors and
audiences were governed by empathy. It carefully works through how
actors communicated emotions through their voices, faces and
gestures, how audiences appraised these performances, and mobilised
and regulated their own emotional responses. Crucially, this book
reveals how theatre spaces mediated the emotional practices of
audiences and actors alike. It examines how their public and
frequently political interactions were enabled by these spaces.
