From Philip Henslowe to David Merrick, the producer or theatre
manager has generally been seen as a combination of Shylock and
Simon Legree, usurer and slavedriver, wholly concerned with profit
and loss, indifferent to art and artists. Yet no single person has
greater responsibility in what George Henry Lewes called the
"perilous game" of play production. The essays in this volume
examine five English and American theatrical managers, from the
Elizabethan period to the twentieth century: Philip Henslowe, Tate
Wilkinson, Stephen Price, Edwin Booth, and Charles Wyndham. The
contributors, who evaluate the relationship of each manager to the
drama of his time, include Bernard Beckerman, Charles Beecher
Hogan, Benard Hewitt, Charles Shattuck, and George Rowell. Joseph
Donohue's essay, "The Theatrical Manager and the Uses of Theatrical
Research," introduces the volume. Originally published in 1971. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
