Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Theatre of Ideas: A Burlesque Allegory The following pages contain essays in burlesque, serious drama, comedy and tragedy - that is to say in all the forms of dramatic art, with the exception of romantic drama. When any country produces any one of these forms of drama, and clothes it in literature, it may claim to have a National Drama. Outside literature, a country may produce many deservedly successful plays which rightly amuse its populace; but it can have no National Drama. It is only when the best of a country´s modern plays pass into its literature, and when also they pass into the repertories of theatres with sustained traditions of great acting and authorship, as at the Theatre Français - it is only then that a country has a National Drama; or that its theatres are anything essentially different from a conjurer´s show, a candy store, a child´s toy shop, or the anteroom to a prostitute´s boudoir. Of the productions of the late Victorian stage, Gilbert´s burlesques were, if not the greatest, yet certainly the most charming, the nearest to perfection; on the whole perhaps the most satisfying.
