Mrs. Warren’s Profession

Abstract

A nd that pretty well did it. Severe and early prohibitions guaranteed that professional companies avoided the Boston market for most of the eighteenth century, and so potent was the opposition of “puritanism” that the dyad of “puritan and player” became something of a trope of the field. Recognizing as we must that such a conflict does not, cannot, arise in absence, any exegesis of absence would be incomplete without a consideration into the nature and shape of the sizeable void of theatre in New England.
