Living I chose the University of Liverpool because of its location. Liverpool is in the north of England, making travelling within the UK and Abroad In Ireland extremely easy. I spent so many weekends in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales because they were all within a few hours on a cheap train or plane. It made travelling every weekend a feasible option which was extremely attractive to me. Liverpool My favourite thing about living in Liverpool was the culture around the city.

Due to the importance of the docks, Liverpool was small enough that I knew I could get to know it well, the city suffered relentless bombing during World War II, a blitz second only to London’s. but large enough that there was lots to explore and be introduced to.

The difficulties of the task lie in the fact that data are at once too sparse and too abundant. Owing to the incompleteness of the collection of playbills in the I,iver- pool Free Library, there are many gaps in the story of the I/iverpool Theatres which it is weU-nigh impossible to fill- This is all the more regrettable as the remoter period in the annals of our local drama is much more individual and char- acteristic than the record of the last half century.

Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Alexandra Appleton Date: 5 February 2015 2 Abstract My thesis provides the first analytical study of the Theatre Royal Liverpool from 1772 to 1855. It offers a new and original contribution to the increasing volume of provincial theatre studies in Britain. Liverpool’s theatrical history has hitherto been left in the annals of time, despite the port’s important national and international position during the long nineteenth century. I believe that by examining Liverpool’s theatrical and cultural identity during this period, we gain a fresh and important perspective on its complex and evolving regional character. Much has been written on the port’s economic and commercial history but such an analytical study of its theatrical productions and performance history provides an incredibly important cultural insight in to Liverpool’s developing maritime identity from the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century.
