Theatre in London has celebrated a rich and influential history,
and in 1976 the first volume of J. P. Wearing s reference series
provided researchers with an indispensable resource of these
productions. In the decades since the original calendars were
produced, several research aids have become available, notably
various reference works and the digitization of important
newspapers and relevant periodicals. The second edition of The
London Stage 1930 1939: A Calendar of Productions, Performers, and
Personnel provides a chronological calendar of London shows from
January 1930 through December 1939. The volume chronicles more than
4,250 productions at 61 major central London theatres during this
period. For each production the following information is provided:
1.Title 2.Author 3.Theatre 4.Performers 5.Personnel 6.Opening and
Closing Dates 7.Number of Performances Other details include genre
of the production, number of acts, and a list of reviews. A comment
section includes other interesting information, such as plot
description, first-night reception by the audience, noteworthy
performances, staging elements, and details of performances in New
York either prior to or after the London production. Among the
plays staged in London during this decade were The Barretts of
Wimpole Street, French without Tears, George and Margaret, The
Greeks Had a Word for It, Laburnum Grove, Lady Precious Stream, The
Late Christopher Bean, Love on the Dole, Me and My Girl, Private
Lives, and 1066 and All That, as well as numerous musical comedies
(British and American), foreign works, operas, ballets, and
revivals of English classics. A definitive resource, this edition
revises, corrects, and expands the original calendar. In addition,
approximately 20 percent of the material in particular, information
of adaptations and translations, plot sources, and comment
information is new. Arranged chronologically, the shows are fully
indexed by title, genre, and theatre. A general index includes
numerous subject entries on such topics as acting, audiences,
censorship, costumes, managers, performers, prompters, staging, and
ticket prices. The London Stage 1930-1939 will be of value to
scholars, theatrical personnel, librarians, writers, journalists,
and historians."
