The Colonial Public and the Parsi Stage is the first comprehensive
study of the Parsi theatre, colonial South and Southeast Asia's
most influential cultural phenomenon and the precursor of the
Indian cinema industry. By providing extensive, unpublished
information on its first actors, audiences, production methods, and
plays, this book traces how the theatre-which was one of the first
in the Indian subcontinent to adopt European stagecraft-transformed
into a pan-Asian entertainment industry in the second half of the
nineteenth century. Nicholson sheds light on the motivations that
led to the development of the popular, commercial theatre movement
in Asia through three areas of investigation: the vernacular public
sphere, the emergence of competing visions of nationhood, and the
narratological function that women served within a continually
shifting socio-political order. The book will be of interest to
scholars across several disciplines, including cultural history,
gender studies, Victorian studies, the sociology of religion,
colonialism, and theatre. Winner of the Theatre Library Association
George Freedley Memorial Award Special Jury Prize. Shortlisted for
the TaPRA David Bradby book prize. Finalist for the American
Society for Theatre Research Barnard Hewitt Award.
