Additional text

"Providing more than a century of pantomime texts as incontrovertible evidence, Professors Schacker and O’Quinn offer a wonderfully fresh approach to the study of English pantomime, demonstrating the genre’s mutability over time whilst focusing precise scholarly attention on performance and on the changing cultural circumstances in which pantomimes were conceived, performed, and enjoyed." - David Mayer, Emeritus Professor of Drama at the University of Manchester, UK
