[EAN: 9781934844168], Neubuch, [PU: Teneo Press], DOROTHY B. RICHARDSON,BRITISH AND IRISH, Drama|English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, 472 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 1.0in.A Trip to Niagara; or, Travellers in America, a three-act comedy, opened at New Yorks Bowery Theatre on November 28, 1828, for a long run. Scripted and later published by William Dunlap (1766-1839), the so-called father of the American stage, this play offers a bounty to theater historians, dramatic critics, and all those interested in the American culture during Dunlaps lifetime. This study explores the Bowery, the plays moving diorama, the text, and the playwright, and emphasizes their interrelationships. This analysis of A Trip to Niagara as a theatrical event joins hands with dramatic criticism. An annotated transcript of the play is helpfully provided in the appendix of the book. This study contends that had there been no moving diorama, there would have been no play. Since William Dunlap called his text a running accompaniment, it should be analyzed in terms of this function. The plays few critics have failed to do this. Hence, the interplay of the moving diorama (and conventional scenic backdrops) with the plot and characters comprises another significant segment of this study. This book makes significant contributions to studies of antebellum American theater, the Nationalist Period in American culture, and William Dunlap. This item ships from multiple locations. Your book may arrive from Roseburg,OR, La Vergne,TN.<
