London: Printed for C. Chapple, Pall Mall, by B. McMillan, Bow Street, Covent Garden, Printer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, 1808. Paper-covered boards. Fine. First Edition of this scarce history, a "biographical and critical account of all dramatic writers from 1660 and also of the most distinguished performers from the days of Shakespeare to 1807, and a history of the country theatres." Complete in two volumes, paginated (somewhat irregularly) continuously. 12mo (173 x 101mm): xii, 622, 629-630; [3], 625-1048pp, with 17 engraved plates, comprising interior views of the three Theatres Royal and one of the exterior of the King's Theatre, Haymaket, as well as portraits of the author and leading actors and actresses. Recently rebound to style in pale blue paper-covered boards with cream-colored spines and title and volume printed paper lettering pieces; all edges speckled red. Internally, virtually pristine, the bindings tight, straight and square, the pages and plates clean and crisp (author's portrait in vol. I lightly spotted). A superb example of this rare set. OCLC Number: 82435547. Allen A. Brown Collection, p. 253. Little is known of Gilliland's life or career. His major work, A Dramatic Synopsis, was significantly expanded and republished as The Dramatic Mirror, dated 1808 on the title-page, "but [it] may have appeared in 1807. . . . It was dedicated to the Prince of Wales [later George IV], and was venomously reviewed in The Satirist of January 1808. The reviewer's charges included plagiarism (‘The original matter ... would lay in as small a space as its author's brains') and inconsistency, since Gilliland now praised Kemble [whom he had earlier lambasted]."

Description:
1765 Siege of Calais French Play by de Belloy Seven Years War France PatriotismPierre-Laurent de Belloy was an 18th-century French playwright who was relative popular during his lifetime. His popularity was rooted in his recurring themes of patriotism in his plays. One such example was his 1765 play 'The Siege of Calais'. Following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the French public longed for promotion of French patriotism and Belloy delivered, even though more iconic figures like Voltaire were pessimistic regarding such plays.

London: Brentano's Ltd., 1929. First Edition, First Printing. Octavo, 348 pages.An exhaustive look at the first 12 years of Soviet theatre by an art and theatre critic who made numerous trips to Moscow.
This is an excellent, well-researched study of early Bolshevik drama. Good photos. Especially noteworthy are some haunting portraits of key actors and directors. We would be remiss if we didn't point out Carter's entertaining preface, which is full of self-congratulation in this vein: "Only writers who, like myself, have entered Russia from time to time since 1917 and have systematically collected material for books on the theatre as a whole, can boast of being in a position to tell the complete story of the New theatre. The number of such writers is very limited. Probably there is only one -- myself."
CONDITION: Very Good (pages lightly age-toned, with a couple of damp stains on preliminary pages) in a dust jacket that's rubbed and darkened. The jacket also has some nicks and chips as well as some… Read More

Description:
Lorraine Hansberry's tour de force was the first Broadway play produced to be written by a Black woman. A Raisin in the Sun explores the dynamics of a Black family in America as they confront prejudice and the profound barriers due to racism in all aspects of their daily lives. Before its debut, Hansberry worked as a Black civil rights activist and journalist for Black papers, and is now known to have been a closeted lesbian, leading to intense isolation even after she was catapulted into fame.The play debuted at The Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 1958 and the book was published the following year, it includes photographs of the original production, and therefore documents a crucial moment in the history of performance arts.
Hardcover, 142 pp. Quarter cream cloth and textured marbled brown card, with paper label photograph of actor Glynn Turman as Travis in centre. Some wear on top and bottom edges of cloth in the spine, overall in very good condition. Dust jacket is in good condition, with chips at… Read More
