Sinossi

Experience the Wit and Whimsy of Victorian Burlesque
Step into the lively world of 19th-century theater with this anthology of Victorian burlesque plays. Known for their clever parodies and playful irreverence, these works take beloved classics and turn them on their heads, offering a delightful mix of humor, satire, and unexpected twists.
Featuring:

  • "Joan Of Arc" by William Brough
    Discover a hilariously reimagined Joan, navigating a world filled with absurdity and sharp wit, as Brough playfully mocks the tropes of heroic drama.
  • "La! Sonnambula!" by Henry J. Byron
    Byron transforms Bellini's romantic opera into a comedic masterpiece, blending witty dialogue with contemporary references that bring new life to the timeless tale.
  • "Medea" by Robert B. Brough
    Dive into Robert Brough's uproarious take on the tragic sorceress, where exaggerated melodrama meets biting humor in a parody that turns darkness into delight.
  • "Romeo And Juliet Travestie" by Andrew Halliday
    Experience Shakespeare's iconic love story as a madcap comedy, filled with over-the-top characters and laugh-out-loud scenarios that lampoon the original's seriousness.
A Celebration of Satire and Spectacle
This collection captures the essence of Victorian musical burlesque—a genre that dared to make the lofty laughable and the sacred absurd.
