Succeeding chapters examine performance and production, (including music, actors, stagecraft and audience), plays and playwriting and issues of class and gender. Types of performances (such as comedy, farce, melodrama) and the economics of the theater are also analyzed. | The Cambridge Companion to Victorian and Edwardian Theatre by Kerry Powell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
