Edwin Booth on Dion Boucicault, Playwriting, and Play Production—a Previously Unpublished Letter
View through CrossRef
While researching my dissertation topic, “Edwin Booth: Theatre Manager,” I happened upon a previously unpublished letter written by Booth to a Jno. M. Leavitt. In this letter, Booth gives a contemporary and perhaps surprising evaluation of Dion Boucicault's playwriting, he articulates a set of guidelines for playwrights, and his comments on playwriting indicate a theory of play production which actually guided Booth's own work as actor-manager of Booth's Theatre from 1869 to 1873.
