Reviews

This meticulously researched, excellently written book is full of interest not only for puppetry enthusiasts but for theatre researchers and historians of the nineteenth century. Nothing is left out-audiences and their perceptions, the 'figure workers' and their managers, repertoire, music and musicians, portable theatres great and small, are all described. The book is a gold mine of revelation and information, to be referred to again and again.


Author Information

A fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, and director of Ireland's first university theatre department, John McCormick took early retirement in 1998 to work full-time as a puppet researcher and performer. His publications include People's Theatre, Popular Theatres of Nineteenth-Century France, Dion Boucicault (1820-1890), and (with Bennie Pratasik) Popular Puppet Theatre in Europe, 1800-1914.
