Georgian Theatre
The Georgian Theatre refers to a style of theatre that emerged in England during the reigns of the first four British monarchs named George, from 1714 to 1830. This period is characterized by a focus on neoclassical architecture and the development of new theatrical forms, including the rise of the proscenium arch stage, which allowed for more elaborate scenery and better audience sightlines.
The Georgian Theatre also saw the emergence of notable playwrights such as Richard Brinsley Sheridan and David Garrick, who contributed to the evolution of drama and performance. This era emphasized both comedy and serious drama, reflecting the social and political changes of the time.
