The pace of theatrical life in Romantic Liverpool was a tight schedule that involved both the lives of managers, actors and actresses, and the management of every season, as the provincial theatres were places where the players, while experiencing theatrical conditions different from those in the capital, might serve their apprenticeship, practise their skills and test the reaction of the public as well. After tracing back the origins of the first theatres in Liverpool in the second half of the eighteenth century, the analysis will focus on the presence of managers such as Joseph Younger, Philip Mattocks, and Francis Aickin in Liverpool from 1772 until the end of the century, and their relation with actors of Kemble’s and Siddons’ calibre.

Abstract
The pace of theatrical life in Romantic Liverpool was a tight schedule that involved both the lives of managers, actors and actresses, and the management of every season, as the provincial theatres were places where the players, while experiencing theatrical conditions different from those in the capital, might serve their apprenticeship, practise their skills and test the reaction of the public as well. After tracing back the origins of the first theatres in Liverpool in the second half of the eighteenth century, the analysis will focus on the presence of managers such as Joseph Younger, Philip Mattocks, and Francis Aickin in Liverpool from 1772 until the end of the century, and their relation with actors of Kemble’s and Siddons’ calibre.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
