Eighteenth Century British and Irish Promptbooks : A Descriptive Bibliography Hardback

Part of the Bibliographies and Indexes in the Performing Arts series

Hardback

Description

This comprehensive volume lists and describes all known eighteen century British and Irish promptbooks.

Each entry includes the location of the copy, shelf mark, production for which the prompt-book was prepared (theatre, date, prompter's name, if known), the types of notes the copy contains (description of setting, entrance notes, costume notes, ground plans, warnings, cues, stage movement, line interpretation), and citations of any books or articles that have dealt with the copy.

The illustrations of sample pages from some of the promptbooks listed will provide the reader with a fuller and more accurate understanding of eighteenth century theatre architecture and staging practices.
