This collection showcases the extravaganzas of James Robinson Planche (1796-1868), a prominent figure in 19th-century English theatre. Spanning the years 1825 to 1871, the compilation offers a comprehensive look at Planche's contributions to the development of the extravaganza, a popular form of dramatic entertainment characterized by its elaborate spectacle, playful wit, and incorporation of music and dance.
Edited by Stephen Tucker and Thomas Francis Dillon Croker, "The Extravaganzas of J. R. Planche, Esq." provides valuable insight into the theatrical landscape of the Victorian era. Planche, known for his adept use of mythology, fairy tales, and historical themes, crafted works that appealed to a broad audience, solidifying his reputation as a leading playwright and adapter of his time. This volume serves as a testament to Planche's enduring influence on British theater and offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of dramatic forms.
