Richardson's Theatre
Richardson's Theatre or Richardson's Show was a travelling fairground theatre founded in 1798 by John Richardson (1766-1836), which performed in London and the surrounding area in the early nineteenth century.
==History==
Richardson began his career as an actor. He joined Mrs. Penley's travelling theatre company in 1782, but on seeing the small profits to be made with her, he left acting and moved to London, becoming a broker. He eventually saved enough money to open his own troupe.〔("Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827): Richardson's Show: a Country Fair" ) lot details on a drawing sold in 1995 at Christie's〕
Richardson first opened his theatrical production at Bartholomew Fair in 1798 using scenery from Drury Lane. The performances took place in a narrow booth (100 feet by 30 feet), colourful and brightly lit. The show toured, in the London area, to such fairs as Southwark, Brook Green and Greenwich.〔 Over time, Richardson's booth expanded, and he ran several performances simultaneously, and he could stage over a dozen burlesques and melodramas each day.〔Rosenfeld, Sybil. "Muster Richardson the great showman", pp. 105-21, in Mayer David and Kenneth Richards (eds) ''Western Popular Theatre'' (London, 1977).〕〔Egan, Pierce. ''The Pilgrims of the Thames in Search of the National!'' (London, 1838), p. 112.〕 By 1828, the price of admission was sixpence, and refreshments were another profit source for the troupe.〔Schlicke, Paul. (''Dickens and Popular Entertainment'' ), p. 90, University of Aberdeen, London: Unwin Hyman (1985)〕 The young Edmund Kean learned his craft here, before moving on to a more respectable theatrical environment.〔 After Richardson's death, the show was continued until 1853 by Nelson Lee.〔
