Capturing Shakespearean Performance in Print: The Edwin Booth Prompt Books
Lezlie Cross, Assistant Professor of Theatre at UNLV
This lecture stems from Dr. Lezlie Cross's in-progress book project which details the publication, sales, and use of Edwin Booth's acting editions of Shakespeare. Booth was the most popular and influential actor in nineteenth-century America and this study of his acting editions provides a rare glimpse into the history of the American theatre and print industry.
Colloquia are free and open to the public, but reservations are strongly encouraged. Tickets available August 10.
