My blog begins...
Hello English 6365,Here are some photos of the Georgian theatre I visited in Bath a couple years ago... the culmination of our period's penchant for large, extravagant, boxlike spaces. It's from a later time than the original Restoration tennis court theatres of course, but I find it helpful to get a general visualization.
Looking forward to next week's videos (can you tell I'm a fan of multimedia)!

Lovely! Did you see a play there? Do they still mount productions?
So beautiful. You must have felt so awed to see it. Wow!
Yes they do still have shows here (at the Theatre Royal) but I didn't get the chance to see one. I did however get to attend a lecture on Austen and the Gothic Novel, as well as a recreated Victorian parlour game where the "guests" acted out little scenes from Austen's books (highly amusing)! Bath has an Austen festival every September actually, I really hope to go back someday.
Cool, an Austen festival??
I love the photo of the ceiling! Do you have any more?
