Documents of Performance Refreshment Tokens or ‘Wet Money’

Abstract

Our document section will offer objects and texts which, individually, throw light on theatrical and/or filmic processes or the cultural circumstances in which performance events have taken place. As with any other document, this document and those which follow are open to other readings and further or different interpretations. Nineteenth Century Theatre and Film's documents are those which, in many circumstances, are less likely to be encountered in the course of research. We invite readers to nominate and explicate documents for future issues. We also invite readers to contest identifications or otherwise comment upon the documents which appear in this journal.
