What reading level is The English Stage Its Origins Modern Developments a Critical Historical St book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY STAGE— CONTD.
THE elaborate and extravagant mount- ing of plays initiated by Charles Kean at the Princess's Theatre in 1850 naturally led to the long-run system. It is obvious that the thousands of pounds spent on a production could only be re- couped by such a system — a long run meant financial success, the reverse often resulted in bankruptcy. The long-run is, for obvious reasons, only possible in the very largest centres of population, and where there is every temptat...ion for the financial backers of the "stars" to get as large a return as possible upon their invested capital. It is impossible to exaggerate the detrimental effect, from an artistic as well as from a health point of view, of the long-run system upon the actor or actress. The writer has heard of one case of madness resulting from this vicious system. No actor, for example, can play any of the great Shakespearean roles eight times a week, for six months, with nervous force, inspiration and spon- taneity.
