Through fourteen chapters, the reader will discover how reviews and critics' opinions influenced the success or failure of premieres, conditioning public taste and the evolution of the stage itself. An essential study for understanding the complex relationship between creators, spectators, and the specialized press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the figure of the press critic as a fundamental mediator between playwrights, performances, and the public, especially during the 19th and 20th centuries, when theatre enjoyed enormous social prominence. It analyzes how critics, with their newspaper reviews, could decisively influence the reception of shows, both positively and negatively. Throughout its chapters, the work examines significant titles by relevant Spanish playwrights, contextualizing critical reactions within the social and political framework of each premiere. The often conflictive relationship between the creator and their recipients is highlighted, as well as how the public, through their tastes, sustained the business structure of the theatre, sometimes hindering theatrical renewal. The study is completed with numerous illustrations that enrich the analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of journalistic criticism as a mediator in the history of theatre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between theatrical creators, the public, and press critics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the critical reception of key works of Spanish dramaturgy from the 20th and 21st centuries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe social and political context as a determining factor in the reception of premieres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe influence of the press in shaping public taste and the evolution of theatre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at researchers, students of dramatic art, literature, and journalism, as well as theatre professionals and cultural critics.
