The Ancient theatre & its legacy: Restoration theater : from tennis court to playhouse
During the Restoration, new playhouses were built to replace the many theaters destroyed by Cromwell in the English Civil War. The new theaters, built to stage the probing social comedies of the era, were shaped by changes in English drama, politics, and society. Shows how the Parisian tennis court theaters, attended by the court in exile of Charles II, influenced the new London theaters, particularly Christopher Wren’s Theatre Royal. Advanced computer graphics illustrate important features of Restoration theaters. Wren’s influence on Georgian playhouses and modern theater design is also explored.
