Drama and Theatre Studies, University of Warwick

Thesis title:

Theatre and the Aristocracy: Passion, Patronage, Power, and Politics, 1771-1893

Hannah’s approach will combine the research areas of passion, patronage, power, and politics through a focus on the private theatre at Woburn Abbey in the early nineteenth century. In doing so, she will investigate the politics of female aristocratic patronage and examine the interplay between the actual theatre and the theatricality and performance of aristocracy beyond the immediate space of the threatre.
