Plays and Playhouses Through Early Theater History
The piece surveys origins of theater from Dublin’s first theater in 1685 to earlier traditions. It notes the first German tragedy Cleopatra by Von Leobenstein in 1671, Polish to Russian drama in the twelfth century, Galeotto’s Sofonisba (1503) as the earliest Italian tragedy, and mentions Hans Sachs as father of German drama. It credits Rousseau with melodrama’s music-enhanced rise, and tracks Scandinavian beginnings with Chr. Hensen in Denmark. It also cites Marlowe’s Tamburlaine the Great pioneering blank verse and mentions English comedians performing in German cities. It closes by recalling fourth century bans on actors from sacraments and excommunication for theatergoers.
