That history has been told in numerous accounts of the age, but never before has it been told in terms of the theatre of the period. To understand the play lists of a theatre, it is crucial to examine the community which that theatre serves. In the labouring-class communities of London and the provinces, the performances were adapted to suit the local audiences, whether weavers, or miners, or field workers. Examining the conditions and characteristics of representative provincial theatres from the 1790s to 1830s, Frederick Burwick argues that the meaning of a play changes with every change in the performance location. As contributing factors in that change, Burwick attends to local political and cultural circumstances as well as to theatrical activities and developments elsewhere"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Theater $z England $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a English drama $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Working class $z England $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 650 7 $a Working class. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180418 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112070241.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE5B6850ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
