Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Seen On The Stage is a book written by Clayton Meeker Hamilton in 1920. It is a collection of essays and critiques on various plays and performances that the author witnessed during his time as a theatre critic in New York City. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of theatre: the actors, the playwrights, and the directors. Hamilton offers his opinions on the performances of famous actors such as Ethel Barrymore, John Barrymore, and Sarah Bernhardt, as well as lesser-known actors who he believed were equally talented. He also provides insight into the writing styles of playwrights like George Bernard Shaw, Henrik Ibsen, and Eugene O'Neill, and analyzes the techniques used by directors such as David Belasco and Max Reinhardt. Throughout the book, Hamilton displays a deep knowledge and appreciation for the art of theatre, and his writing is both insightful and entertaining. He offers a unique perspective on the theatre scene of the early 20th century and provides readers with an inside look at the world of Broadway. Seen On The Stage is a must-read for anyone interested in theatre history or the evolution of American theatre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
