Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us behind the scenes of the American theatre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, through the eyes of a fictional character named Mark Walling. The author invites us to experience the world of ambitious actors, scheming managers, and demanding playwrights in the era of rapid industrialization and social change. The excerpt follows Mark's journey from a naive country boy to a rising star in the world of theatre. He is plucked from obscurity by a shrewd manager, John Carlson, and thrust into the demanding world of Broadway. Mark's innocence and earnestness make him both a pawn and a potential asset in a world fueled by ambition and fueled by the fleeting desires of the public. We see the theatrical world as a microcosm of American society, a place where ambition, desire, and social mobility are constantly colliding. We are introduced to the captivating, and ultimately destructive, Cora Boyle, Mark's first wife and a woman who personifies the fleeting nature of fame and the temptations of the theatre. The excerpt also delves into Mark's encounters with various characters, including the witty playwright, Clyde Fitch, and the acerbic critic, James Huneker. Through Mark's journey, the author offers a rich and insightful look at the often-exploitative and chaotic world of the theatre in the Gilded Age, where talent and ambition often collide with the demands of the public and the whims of fate.
