Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:The Routledge Pantomime Reader is the first anthology to document this entertainment genre--one of the most distinctive and ubiquitous in nineteenth-century Britain.Across ten different shows, readers witness pantomime's development from a highly improvisational venue for clowning, dance, and musical parody to a complex amalgamation of physical and topical comedy, stage wizardry, scenic spectacle, satire, and magical mayhem. Combining well-known tales such as Cinderella, Aladdin, and Jack and the Beanstalk with lesser-known plotlines such Peter Wilkins and The Prince of Happy Land, demonstrates how popular narratives were adapted to the current moment, but also shows how this blend of high and low entertainment addressed a whole range of social and cultural anxieties. Along with carefully annotated scripts, readers will find detailed introductions to all of the collected pantomimes and supplementary materials such as reviews, reminiscences, and a host of visual materials that bring these neglected entertainments to life.The plays collected here provide a remarkable perspective on the history of sexuality, class, and race during a period of vast imperial expansion and important social upheaval in Britain itself - essential reading for students and scholars of theatre history and popular performance.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
