Book Review: The Theatres of Boston: A Stage and Screen History by Donald C. King

Author: Donald C. King
Title: The Theatres of Boston: A Stage and Screen History
Publication Info: Jefferson, N.C. : McFarland & Co., c2005.
Summary/Review:

The Theatres of Boston is a history of Boston’s playhouses, vaudeville, burlesque, and movie theaters from Colonial times to the 21st century.  It’s full of fascinating tidbits about theater architecture, performances, and hidden quirks.  Unfortunately, this book is poorly written, sticking to a strict chronological sequence where histories of different theaters are mixed up sometimes within the same paragraph.  It might have made more sense if it was just a bulleted-point list.  Even better would be a book with a chapter on each theater that compiles its architectural details, modifications and name changes, and notable performances, but that is not the book this is.

Recommended books:

• Boston’s Downtown Movie Palaces by Arthur Singer
• Boston’s Theater District by Dale Stinchcomb

Rating: **

Mary Dyer was a Quaker who was hanged in Boston for her beliefs and because she gave birth to a deformed child. Her death could be considered a prequel to the Salem witch trials 30 years later. #TombTuesday #BostonHistory #FemaleMartyrs
