Anthologies, 1800-1868
|
|
This series consists of 16 anthologies of working theater scripts for
approximately 250 plays and operettas by English dramatists and playwrights.
William Henry Chippendale used the scripts while working as an actor and stage
manager in England and the United States between 1834 and 1851. It is likely that
he also directed a dramatic company, which used the materials while touring the
United States with actor and theater manager Solomon Smith. The scripts are
heavily annotated with cuts, additions, and staging notes that lend insight into
theatrical production practices of the time. Additionally, some scripts include a
list of English and American productions with their locations, dates, and casting.
The dramas, comedies, and farces also document the diverse British repertoire
performed in mainstream American theater. William Bayle Bernard, John Baldwin
Buckstone, George Coleman, Joseph Stirling Coyne, Charles Dance, Prince Hoare,
Mark Lemon, John Maddison Morton, John O’Keefe, Richard Brinsley Peake, James
Robinson Planché, Charles Selby, and Edward Stirling are among the
playwrights whose works appear in the anthologies. Each script is dated separately. If available, the date listed is that which
Chippendale wrote in the script. If not, the date refers to the script's
publication or the play's first performance. |
