[[Shadow theatre]] (also sometimes referred to as a [[shadow play]]) is a specialized form of storytelling and entertainment.

In [[Shadow theatre]] actors perform (very often in [[mime]]) between a source of light and a translucent screen or scrim, and the audience experience the [[performance]] on the screen. It was popular in the 19th century and often used in [[burlesque]] and [[vaudeville]] performances for example. (A particular form of this is the so-called [[Shadow pantomime]]).

There are a number of other, closely related, performance forms, using the same technique:

For example, [[Shadow puppetry]] is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment which uses flat articulated cut-out figures (shadow puppets), which are held between a source of light and a translucent screen or scrim.("Shadow theatre" in ''[[Wikipedia]]''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_play])

Another very familiar variant is the playroom activity of performing a story or show using images made by hand shadows, technically referred to as "Shadowgraphy"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowgraphy_(performing_art)] or "''ombromanie''". This too has made its appearance on stage.
