This is the only book to provide an account of how popular theatre
developed from the fairground booths of the eighteenth century to
become a vehicle of mass entertainment in the following century.
Whereas other studies offer a traditional approach to the theatres
of high culture, John McCormick takes the role of impartial
historian, uncovering the popular theatres of the boulevards,
suburbs and fairgrounds. He focuses on the social and economic
context in which vaudevilles, pantomimes and melodramas were
performed, and explores the audiences who enjoyed them.
