First sentence: ALTHOUGH THE OUTLINE HISTORY OF DRAMA AND THEATRE IN early America has been told before, with the exception of Royall Tyler's The Contrast, relatively little has been said in detail about the particular plays or performances that graced - or disgraced - the stages and pages of American theatres and notebooks in the early republic.
