Half Hour Sitcoms?
These titles have been pulled from WorldCat, a union list
of library catalogs from around the world.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of one of these plays, try
asking your interlibrary loan librarian.
The libraries didn't know specific dates on some of the
plays listed as 1850 and 1860, but they are believed to have been published
during these decades. Therefore,
some of the 1860 plays may actually have been printed after 1865.
They were published in Britain or the United States, and sometimes both.
Since the U.S. still strongly depended on Britain for literature, this
should not be a problem. I do not
know if or where these plays were actually produced.
Definitions:
Comedietta—a light farcical comedy.
Farce—a light dramatic composition of satirical or
humorous cast in which great latitude is allowed as to probability of happenings
and naturalness of characters.
Burletta—a usually entirely musical opera popular
in England in the latter half of the 17th century.
Burlesque—a literary composition or dramatic
representation that ridicules something, usually the serious and dignified, but
sometimes the trivial and commonplace by means of grotesque exaggeration or
comic imitation.
