Extract

In 1974, John Towson and I edited an issue of TDR devoted to popular entertainments. The field was essentially terra incognita then, and considered of little importance by most people interested in theatre history and dramatic theory. The emphasis at that time was overwhelmingly on “high” art in theatre and the theory connected with it, and anything else was considered beside the point.
