London's Grand Guignol And The Theatre Of Horror by Elisabeth Hand
The Theatre Of Horror
A vivid cultural history tracing how the macabre spectacle of Grand Guignol migrated into London’s theatrical life, examining the plays, staging techniques, performers and audiences that shaped a uniquely British theatre of horror; it situates sensational gore and psychological terror within social and moral anxieties of the era, describes the practical devices and acting styles that produced shock and sympathy, and shows how this short-lived genre influenced censorship debates and left a lasting legacy on modern horror drama and film.
