A History of Pantomime by R.J. Broadbent is a comprehensive account of the development and evolution of pantomime as a form of theatre entertainment. The book traces the origins of pantomime back to ancient Greece and Rome, and then moves on to explore its growth in popularity in the UK during the 18th and 19th centuries.Broadbent examines the key figures and performers who helped to shape pantomime, from Joseph Grimaldi to Dan Leno, and explores the various themes and storylines that have become associated with the genre, including the traditional Christmas pantomime.The book also delves into the technical aspects of pantomime, such as the use of music, dance, and special effects, and how these have evolved over time to keep pace with changing audience expectations.Overall, A History of Pantomime provides a fascinating insight into the rich history and enduring popularity of this unique form of theatre, making it an essential read for anyone with an interest in the performing arts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
