Playing to the Crowd: London Popular Theatre, 1780-1830 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780230116863)

Between 1780 and 1830, the growing London population divided into immigrant neighborhoods with two dozen unlicensed theatres tailoring productions to attract and serve this new audience. Playing to the Crowd is the first study of the productions of the minor theatres, how they were adapted to appeal to the local patrons and the audiences who worked and lived in the communities.
