Rogue performancesstaging the underclasses in early American theatre culture /[electronic resource] :Peter P. Reed. - 1st ed. - New York, NY :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xii, 249 p. :ill. ;25 cm. - Palgrave studies in theatre and performance history. - Palgrave studies in theatre and performance history..

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Atlantic underclasses and early American theatre culture -- Gallows performance, excarceration, and The beggar's opera -- Algerians, renegades, and transnational rogues in Slaves in Algiers -- Treason and popular patriotism in The glory of Columbia -- Pantomime and blackface banditry in Three-finger'd Jack -- Class, patronage, and urban scenes in Tomand Jerry -- Slave revolt and classical blackness in The gladiator -- Epilogue: escape artists and spectatorial mobs.

Rogue Performances recovers eighteenth and nineteenth-century American culture's fascination with outcast and rebellious characters. Highwaymen, thieves, beggars, rioting mobs, rebellious slaves, and mutineers dominated the stage in the period's most popular plays. Peter Reed alsoexplores ways these characters helped to popularize theatrical forms such as ballad opera, patriotic spectacle, blackface minstrelsy, and melodrama. Reed shows how both on and offstage, these paradoxically powerful, persistent, and troubling figures reveal the contradictions of class and the force of the disempowered in the American theatrical imagination. Through analysis of both well known and lesser known plays and extensive archival research, this book challenges scholars to re-think their assumptions about the role of class in antebellum American drama.
