This pioneering study harnesses virtual reality to uncover the
history of five venues that have been 'lost' to us: London's 1590s
Rose Theatre; Bergen's mid-nineteenth-century Komediehuset;
Adelaide's Queen's Theatre of 1841; circus tents hosting Cantonese
opera performances in Australia's goldfields in the 1850s; and the
Stardust showroom in 1950s Las Vegas. Shaping some of the most
enduring genres of world theatre and cultural production, each
venue marks a significant cultural transformation, charted here
through detailed discussion of theatrical praxis and
socio-political history. Using virtual models as performance
laboratories for research, Visualising Lost Theatres recreates the
immersive feel of venues and reveals performance logistics for
actors and audiences. Proposing a new methodology for using
visualisations as a tool in theatre history, and providing 3D
visualisations for the reader to consult alongside the text, this
is a landmark contribution to the digital humanities.
