During 1800’s in Europe, many of spectators and critics had nationalistic point of view. Also commercial theatres played to larger and more popular audiences, theatrical stars were seemed to have power to reflect glory on nation. Did any actors performed for nationalism? For example, actor T.P Cooke, why did he performed as an English seaman?

After reading what this reading had to say about the move of theatre it raises questions and concern about how different theatre could have been today in America perhaps. It is always a huge debate with a lot of things on ” what if” and I can ask how different theatre could have been in America or even other nations had actors performed for nationalism?
