摘要

“在戏剧界,我们谈论的都是节日。1897年7月,《灶台与家庭》杂志的一篇八卦专栏这样写道。维多利亚时代晚期的伦敦西区剧院明星们的假期吸引了媒体的定期报道,也成为了演员、演员和朋友之间信件往来的固定主题。努力工作和公共服务的叙述在戏剧行业的声誉和文化地位的改善中发挥了重要作用,这促使了关于休息的次要叙述:人们普遍认为,休息是必要的,以抵消舞台明星所承担的持续的舞台内外劳动的影响。报纸上的报道和信件捕捉到了两方面的关注:一是行业对维持戏剧生涯所需的强健身心健康的关注,二是社会对不断变化的工作世界的不安,以及过度工作和疲惫的模式。在这篇文章中,我考虑了一系列的新闻报道和通信,以考虑舞台明星假期的证据如何扩展我们对维多利亚晚期戏剧行业专业文化的理解,以及戏剧对围绕工作和休息以及身心健康的更广泛的社会和政治思想的贡献。

Holidaying with Late-Victorian Theatrical Celebrities: Rest, Wellbeing and Public Identity
‘In the Theatrical World our talk is all of holidays.’ So opened one of Hearth and Home magazine’s gossip columns in July 1897. The holidays taken by London’s late-Victorian West End theatre stars attracted regular press coverage and formed a regular subject of letters between actresses, actors and their friends. The narratives of hard work and public service that had played a significant role in improvements in the theatre industry’s reputational and cultural status prompted a secondary narrative around rest: a widely shared understanding that rest was necessary to counter the impacts of the ongoing on- and off-stage labour undertaken by stage stars. Together newspaper accounts and correspondence capture both industry-focused concerns about the maintenance of the strong physical and mental health required to sustain a theatrical career and social disquiet around the changing world of work more widely and patterns of overwork and exhaustion. In this essay I consider a range of press accounts and correspondence to consider how evidence of stage stars’ holidays can extend our understandings of the professional culture of the late-Victorian theatre industry and theatre’s contribution to wider social and political ideas surrounding work and rest, and physical and mental health.
