The Theatrocrat

The Theatrocrat: A Tragic Play Of Church And Stage is a play written by John Davidson and published in 1905. The play explores the conflict between the church and the theatre in the 16th century, following the story of a bishop who tries to ban the performance of a play in his diocese. The play within the play, which is performed by the theatre company, is a satirical portrayal of the bishop and the church. The play raises questions about censorship, freedom of expression, and the power dynamics between the church and the theatre. It is a thought-provoking work that offers insight into the cultural and political climate of the time. The Theatrocrat is a tragic play that delves into the complexities of human nature and the struggle for power and control.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
