Fuck Yeah Burlesque

For the love of all things burlesque, from the Duke of Buckingham to Dita von Teese and everything in between.
James Gillray, ‘The Theatrical War’, 30 June 1787. A commentary on theatrical licensing and regulation, featuring, amongst others, Sheridan and George Colman the Elder and Younger. Burlesque wouldn’t be what it became in Britain (and was then brought to the United States by Lydia Thompson) were it not for the complicated theatre regulation system in Britain!
