What reading level is How to See a Play book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But we must take them at the psychologic moment of their appearance, and recognize that they were a very great advance on what had gone before. They brought contemporary social life upon the stage as did Congreve in 1680, Sheri- dan in 1765; and they made that life interest- ing to large numbers of theater-goers who hitherto had abstained from play acting. And so Caste and its companion plays, of which it is the best, drew crowded houses and the stage became once more an amusement to reckon wit...h in polite circles. The royal box was once more occupied, the playhouse became fashion- able, no longer quite negligible as a form of art. To be sure, this was a town drama, and for the upper classes, as was the Restoration 76 NINETEENTH CENTURY GROWTH Comedy and that of the eighteenth century. It was not a people's theater, the Theater Rob- ertson, but it had the prime merit of a more truthful rej^resentation of certain phases of the life of its day. And hence Robertson will al- wa5"S be treated as a figure of some historical importance in the British drama, though not a great dramatist.
