Attention is often given to the performance of a text, but not to
the shaping process behind that performance. The question of
rehearsal is seldom confronted directly, though important textual
moments - like revision - are often attributed to it. Furthermore,
up until now, facts about theatrical rehearsal have been considered
irrecoverable.
In this groundbreaking new study, Tiffany Stern gathers together
two centuries' worth of historical material which shows how actors
received and responded to their parts, and how rehearsal affected
the creation and revision of plays. This is the first history of
the subject, from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth. It
examines the nature and changing content of rehearsal, drawing on a
mass of autobiographical, textual, and journalistic sources, and in
so doing throws new light on textual revision and transforms
accepted notions of Renaissance, Restoration, and
eighteenth-century theatrical practice. Plotting theatrical change
over time, this book will revolutionize the fields of textual and
theatre history alike.
