Excellent- More about Globalization of Theatre 1870-1930: The Theatrical Networks of Maurice E. Bandmann
The Anglo-American actor and manager Maurice E. Bandmann (1872–1922) created a theatrical circuit that extended from Gibraltar to Tokyo, with headquarters in Calcutta and Cairo and companies listed on the Indian stock exchange. This study focuses on seven key areas: family networks, the business of theatrical touring, the politics of locality, repertoire and publics, an ethnography of itinerant acting, legal disputes, and the provision of theatrical infrastructure. It draws on global and transnational history, network theory, and analysis, as well as in-depth archival research, to provide a new approach to studying theatre in the age of empire.
