Reviews
This volume is an important contribution to the study of early Restoration theater. It opens up a relatively stagnant area of research and inspires its readers by raising as yet unanswered questions. Understanding the necessities and limitations for staging a play in this period makes it easier to visualize the play's performance based on the play text itself. For both literary and performance scholars, Keenan's volume will be an invaluable tool. - Rena Bood, Universiteit van Amsterdam Keenan's conclusions are valuable, both in terms of his findings and of the methodology he has adopted, and are a strong contribution to a field that has sadly become stagnant in recent years. - Juan A. Prieto Pablos, Restoration and Eighteenth Century Theatre Research Bringing scientific clarity to questions that have puzzled previous scholars, tim Keenan has written a study that everyone seriously interested in the structure and capability of early Restoration playhouses should read. - David Roberts, Theatre Notebook
