Realism Gets Even Realer: Crash Course Theater #32

At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, theater evolved rapidly in Europe. Impresarios like Georg II, Duke of the Duchy of Saxony Meinengen (in present-day Germany), pushed theater troupes to new heights of realism. New methods of directing, acting, set construction, and even rehearsals made plays more realistic than ever. These practices spread in France with André Antoine's Théâtre Realisme, then across Europe.
