The rise of the amateur theatre in nineteenth-century Prescott, the territorial capital of Arizona, is told here in vivid and loving detail, with fifty-two illustrations that include portraits of amateur actors and theatre builders, maps of the town, and photos of the theatres. The talented and dedicated actor-settlers-including Fort Whipple's Fannie Kautz, wife of the Civil War hero General August V. Kautz; and attorney Thomas Fitch, "The Silver Tongued Orator of the Pacific" who founded the Prescott Amateur Dramatic Club-lived lives that were almost as dramatic as the comedies and melodramas that thrilled the local audiences. With a scholar's eye for the relationship between people and events and a dramatist's sense of a good plot, Collins has put together a valuable history of the actors, "opera houses," and the tastes and culture of Arizona's Wild West mining town between 1868 and 1903. Of special value for those interested in territorial history but unfamiliar with the post-Civil War theatrical repertoire are the author's concise but entertaining plot summaries of plays like "Led Astray, Lady Audley's Secret, Damon and Pythias, East Lynne, Richelieu," and the outrageously funny one-act farces in which Fort Whipple's military officers and Prescott's lawyers, businessmen, mining magnates, and their talented wives and daughters took time out from the rigors of frontier life to strut and fret their hour upon the stage.

"In seventeenth-century China, as formerly disparate social spheres grew closer, the theater began to occupy an important ideological niche among traditional cultural elites, and notions of performance and spectatorship came to animate diverse aspects of literati cultural production. In this study of late-imperial Chinese theater, Sophie Volpp offers fresh readings of major texts such as Tang Xianzu’s Peony Pavilion (Mudan ting) and Kong Shangren’s Peach Blossom Fan (Taohua shan), and unveils lesser-known materials such as Wang Jide’s play The Male Queen (Nan wanghou). In doing so, Volpp sheds new light on the capacity of seventeenth-century drama to comment on the cultural politics of the age.Worldly Stage arrives at a conception of theatricality particular to the classical Chinese theater and informed by historical stage practices. The transience of worldly phenomena and the vanity of reputation had long informed the Chinese conception of theatricality. But in the seventeenth century, these notions acquired a new verbalization, as theatrical models of spectatorship were now applied to the contemporary urban social spectacle in which the theater itself was deeply implicated."
