Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the captivating story of the rise of American theatre, delving into the lives of the individuals who braved a skeptical public and laid the foundation for a national theatrical tradition. The author charts a journey that begins with the early attempts to establish theatrical performances in cities like Philadelphia and New York, encountering resistance from Puritan, Quaker, and Dutch communities. We are introduced to pivotal figures such as Thomas Kean, the first actor to perform Richard III and Captain Macheath in America, and Robert Upton, the country's first advance agent and business manager. The book then chronicles the arrival of the Hallam company, led by Lewis Hallam, and their efforts to overcome prejudice and build a theatrical presence. The text illuminates the challenges faced by these pioneering actors, including the lack of suitable performance spaces, societal disapproval, and financial constraints. The author sheds light on the complex social and cultural landscape of 18th-century America, revealing how the theatre was not only a source of entertainment but also a contested arena of social and political values. The book's detailed examination of the early theatrical companies, their repertoires, and the reception of their performances offers a fascinating glimpse into the development of a unique American dramatic tradition. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, this book reveals the enduring legacy of those who dared to bring the magic of theatre to the nascent American stage.
