"The Theatre" Cyclopaedia

This is a full text transcription of the 1909 publication "The Stage" cyclopaedia; a bibliography of plays which, according to its cumbersome full title, provides "an alphabetical list of plays and other stage pieces of which any record can be found since the commencement of the English stage, together with descriptions, authors' names, dates and places of production, and other useful information, comprising in all nearly 50,000 plays, and extending over a period of upwards of 500 years." The name of the compiler ("Reginald Clarence") is a pseudonym.

The open access digitised version is hosted on The Internet Archive at https://archive.org/stream/thestagecyclopae00eldruoft/thestagecyclopae00eldruoft_djvu.txt,
