But the whole question of whether anybody needed Stanislavsky even in the 19th century is a debated point. ************************** Here's an interesting site on theatre in 19th century England. _http://www.peopleplayuk.org.uk/guided_tours/drama_tour/19th_century/default.p hp_ (http://www.peopleplayuk.org.uk/guided_tours/drama_tour/19th_century/default.php) It discusses popular forms like Melodrama [you know what that is] and Pictorial Drama [which emphasizes accuracy and design....but then wait til you see their mid 19th century versions of "MacBeth" and "Hamlet"....accuracy in the 19th century mind.] It's not til the 1880s that "Cup and Saucer" drama comes in....and is a new sensation because it deals with reality. Much stylization is evident in pre-Stanislovsky stage work. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
