Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Lexington' is a compelling pageant drama centered on the foundational moments of American independence. Authored by the acclaimed playwright Sidney Coe Howard, this work was specifically crafted to be performed as a 'dumb show,' utilizing silent acting and pantomime to convey the gravity of the historical narrative. The drama is uniquely 'founded upon great sayings,' integrating the actual words of historical figures to ground the performance in the authentic rhetoric of the Revolutionary era.The play focuses on the events surrounding the Battle of Lexington, capturing the tension, resolve, and sacrifice of the colonial participants. By moving away from traditional dialogue-heavy theater and emphasizing visual spectacle and historical oratory, Howard creates an immersive experience that celebrates the spirit of liberty. This work stands as a significant example of early 20th-century historical pageantry, reflecting the era's deep interest in civic performance and the preservation of national identity. Readers and historians alike will find 'Lexington' to be a vivid exploration of the American Revolution's opening chapters, presented through a unique blend of theatrical innovation and patriotic tribute.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
