This is a comprehensive attempt to assemble all that is known of
theatre at the time of America's political birth. Because many
plays performed during the Revolution were overrun with partisan
politics, they were not always aesthetically enticing; yet this was
one of the only historical eras in which the theatre was used by
both sides to help achieve military and political objectives.
Whether moralistic or satirical, the plays of the revolution offer
unique insights into the sympathies and fears of both loyal and
dissident parties, and so serve as a telling document of a socially
turbulent age. Brown's extensive research coheres into an
invaluable theatrical and historical chronicle which should prove a
useful resource for those working in the field.
