Big Apple Baroque's new production of Purcell's Fairy Queen presents the work as a politically savvy attempt to protect the theatre as an institution at a time when its enemies were agains seeking its reformation, or, better still, its complete abolition. The one-day inter-disciplinary symposium at Hunter College, New York explores the connection between the stage and coffee-house culture, the debate raging in the 1690s about the institution of marriage and the effectiveness with which the late Stuart monarchy communicated its political, social and cultural agendas.
