Fairbooths and Fit-Ups
- Synopsis
- The English fairground saw the latest survival of medieval religious drama, the birth of Mr Punch, the debut of Edmund Kean and the beginning of the cinema. This slide set evokes the theatrical experience of a huge popular audience which never attended any playhouse other than the fairground booth or penny gaff.
