No One Ever Said They Were Especially Bright

The "juvenile operetta" was a theatrical artform that blossomed from 1900 to 1950, and in this overview, we examine over 100 examples in all their weird and wonderful glory. With stories that range from princesses in distress to Canadians in deepest Africa to Chinese businessmen coping with "The New Woman", they are not only giddy delights onto themselves but an overview of American social structure during the days surrounding the Great Depression. An invaluable addition to any theatre history library, NO ONE EVER SAID will provide hours of shock and delight.
