His ambitious work, Annals of the Haymarket (1911) tells the fascinating story of this fascinating theatrical street through a unique compilation of prints, drawings, playbills, programmes and manuscript letters. The Annals are bound as four volumes: I – The Street II – The King’s Theatre III – The Little Theatre IV – Some Notable Haymarket Plays The letters in this collection have been selected and transcribed from all four of Broadley’s Haymarket volumes. Spanning over 200 years of activity in the Haymarket, they offer a remarkable insight into the thoughts and experiences of the major players – actors, singers, dancers, managers and impresarios – involved in London’s vibrant theatre industry. The aim of this transcription project has been to highlight the wealth of source material available in the Broadley albums. Editorial conventions have been applied to render these letters accessible to the widest possible audience: abbreviated words have been extended, unnecessary capital letters removed, punctuation inserted or modified and some spellings modernised. Where text is missing through damage, or illegible, this has been represented with an ellipsis: *…+. Each letter is accompanied by a biographical note, giving historical context to the entry. The research for these notes has been drawn from a wide range of sources, but of particular assistance were the online edition of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and the Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Actresses, Musicians, Dancers, Managers and Other Stage Personnel in London, 1660-1800 (Highfill et al., 1973-1993) This project would not have been possible without the invaluable contribution of Westminster City Archives volunteer David Evans, who has dedicated many hours of work to the Theatre Collection at City of Westminster Archives Centre.

ABSTRACT A theatrical portrait is an image of an actor or actors in character. This genre was widespread in eighteenth century London and was practised by a large number of painters and engravers of all levels of ability. The sources of the genre lay in a number of diverse styles of art, including the court portraits of Lely and Kneller and the fetes galantes of Watteau and Mercier. Three types of media for theatrical portraits were particularly prevalent in London, between ca745 and 1800 : painting, print and book illustration.

McGirr Reader in Theatre & Performance Histories University of Bristol “What’s in a name?”: Romeo and Juliet and the Cibber brand Abstract: The 1744 and 1748/50 performances of Romeo and Juliet by Theophilus Cibber, Jenny Cibber and Susannah Cibber explain the significance of the play’s return to the repertory, uncover the history of rival interpretations of Juliet’s character, and make sense of the careers and reputations of the theatrical Cibbers. The “Cibberian” airs of all three Cibbers were markedly different, as were their interpretations of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers. Keywords: Shakespearean adaptation, performance history, celebrity, authorial reputation, repertory In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet apostrophizes Romeo to deny thy father and refuse thy name, assuring her (supposedly) absent lover that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

  • Memories of Pitsford a 100 Years Ago
    49 MEMORIES OF PITSFORD A HUNDRED YEARS AGO T. G. TUCKER Introduction by the late Joan Wake* All my life I had heard of the clever Pitsford boy, Tom Tucker-whose name was a legend in the Wake family. I knew he had emigrated to Australia a.s a young man and I had therefore never expected to see him in the flesh-when all of a sudden in the middle of my third war-he turned up! This was in 1941. He got into touch with my aunt, Miss Lucy Wake, who had known him as a boy, and through her I invited him to come and stay with me for a few days in my little house at Cosgrove. He was then a good-looking, white haired old gentleman, of marked refinement, and of course highly cultivated, and over eighty years of age. He was very communicative, and I much enjoyed his visit. Tom's father was coachman, first to my great-great-aunt Louisa, Lady Sitwell, at Hunter- combe near Maidenhead in Berkshire, and then to her sister, my great-grandmother, Charlotte, Lady Wake, at Pitsford. Tom described to me the two days' journey in the furniture van from one place to the other-stopping the night at Newport Pagnell, and the struggle of the horses up Boughton hill, slippery with ice, as they neared the end of their journey. That must have been in 1868 or 1869. He was then about eight years of age. My great-grandmother took a great interest in him after discovering that he was the cleverest boy in the village, and he told me that he owed everything to her.

  • Marie Taglioni, Ballerina Extraordinaire: in the Company of Women
    NINETEENTH-CENTURY GENDER STUDIES # ISSUE 6.3 (WINTER 2010) Marie Taglioni, Ballerina Extraordinaire: In the Company of Women By Molly Engelhardt, Texas A&M University—Corpus Christi <1>The nineteenth-century quest for novelty during the 1830s and 40s was nowhere better satisfied than from the stages of the large theatres in London and Paris, which on a tri-weekly basis showcased ballet celebrities and celebrity ballets as top fare entertainment.(1) While few devotees had the means to actually attend ballet performances, the interested majority could read the plots and reviews of the ballets published in print media—emanating from and traversing both sides of the channel—and know the dancers, their personalities and lifestyles, as well as the dangers they routinely faced as stage performers. During a benefit performance in Paris for Marie Taglioni, for example, two sylphs got entangled in their flying harnesses and audiences watched in horror as a stagehand lowered himself from a rope attached to the ceiling to free them. Théophile Gautier writes in his review of the performance that when Paris Opera director Dr. Veron did nothing to calm the crowds, Taglioni herself came to the footlights and spoke directly to the audience, saying “Gentlemen, no one is hurt.”(2) On another occasion a cloud curtain came crashing down unexpectedly and almost crushed Taglioni as she lay on a tombstone in a cloisture scene of Robert le Diable.(3) Reporters wrote that what saved her were her “highly- trained muscles,” which, in Indiana Jones fashion, she used to bound off the tomb just in time.

  • A Study of the Management of Charles Kean at The
    A STUDY OF THE MANAGEMENT OF CHARLES KEAN AT THE PRINCESS’S THEATRE; l850-l859 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By BUDGE THRELKELD, B. A., M. A. **** The Ohio State University 1955 Approved by Adviser Department of Speech PREFACE When a person approaches a subject with the idea in mind of using that subject for the purpose of a detailed study, he does so with certain provisions. In this instance I was anxious to do a dissertation which would require an extended use of The Ohio State University Theatre Collec­ tion and which would enable me, at the same time, to do original research. The recent collection, on microfilm, of prompt books of theatrical productions during the nineteenth century provided an opportunity to explore that area in search of a suitable problem. The. possibility of doing research on the management of Charles Kean at the Royal Princesses Theatre was enhanced when tentative probings revealed that the importance of Kean*s management was recog­ nized by every authority in the field. However, specific and detailed information about the Princesses Theatre and its management was meagre indeed. Further examination of some of the prompt books prepared by Kean for his outstand­ ing productions at the Princesses convinced me that evidence was available here that would establish Kean as a director in the modern sense of the word. This was an interesting revelation because the principle of the directorial approach to play production is generally accepted to date from the advent of the famous Saxe-Meiningen company.
