The Stage, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint): Both Before and Behind the Curtain, From Observations Taken - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Step behind the curtains with an insider’s view of 19th‑century theatre life. This edition presents Alfred Bunn’s candid observations on the management, scandals, and personalities that shaped London stages, from Drury Lane to Covent Garden, during a pivotal era.
Two short paragraphs frame the scope and value:
- Drawn from on‑the‑spot notes and letters, the book blends memoir, theatre history, and sharp social commentary. It sheds light on licensing, rivalries, audience expectations, and the business of running a metropolitan theatre.
- Readers gain a window into the pressures, decisions, and occasional humor that defined stage life, along with portraits of influential figures and moments that affected the British drama.
- Eyewitness accounts of theatre management, licensing, and rivalries.
- Character sketches of actors, managers, and critics from the era.
- Vivid anecdotes about seasons, tours, and the economics of running plays.
- Context for how public taste and policy intersected with performance.
Ideal for readers curious about theatre history, management, and the social world of Victorian performance.
