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