Prologues, Epilogues, Curtain-raisers, and Afterpieces: The Rest of the Eighteenth-century London StageDaniel James Ennis, Judith Bailey Slagle University of Delaware Press, 2007 - 263 σελίδες Prologues, Epilogues, Curtain-Raisers, and Afterpieces: The Rest of the Eighteenth-Century London Stage presents a fresh analysis of the complete theater evening that was available to playhouse audiences from the Restoration to the early nineteenth century. The contributing scholars focus not on the mainpiece, the advertised play itself, but on what surrounded the mainpiece for the total theater experience of the day. Various critical essays address artistic disciplines such as dance and theatrical portraits, while others concentrate on peripheral performance texts, including prologues, epilogues, pantomimes, and afterpieces, that merged to define the overall theatrical event. |

Σελίδα 251 - ANG. Heavens! The very words which Alice - The door too! - It moves! it opens! - Guard me, good Angels! (The folding-doors unclose, and the Oratory is seen illuminated.
