In the decades before the Second World War, popular musical theatre
was one of the most influential forms of entertainment. This is the
first book to reconstruct early popular musical theatre as a
transnational and highly cosmopolitan industry that included
everything from revues and operettas to dance halls and cabaret.
Bringing together contributors from Britain and Germany, this
collection moves beyond national theatre histories to study
Anglo-German relations at a period of intense hostility and
rivalry. Chapters frame the entertainment zones of London and
Berlin against the wider trading routes of cultural transfer, where
empire and transatlantic song and dance produced, perhaps for the
first time, a genuinely international culture. Exploring
adaptations and translations of works under the influence of
political propaganda, this collection will be of interest both to
musical theatre enthusiasts and to those interested in the wider
history of modernism.
