The first study of popular eighteenth-century English theatre to engage with voices of radical dissent that argued for religious toleration, attacked imperial invasion and forced conversion of indigenous peoples and challenged social hierarchy. This book tells the story of freemasons who served as theatrical 'shock troops of the Enlightenment'.
