Inhoud:

In the fall of 1723, two London theaters staged, almost simultaneously, pantomime performances of the Faust story. Why did pantomime become so popular so quickly? Why was it perceived as culturally threatening and socially destabilizing? This book examines this new form of entertainment and the effect it had on British culture.
