Book Description
The Castle Spectre was first performed at Drury Lane Theatre in London in 1797 and quickly became a dramatic standard during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Lewis' Gothic play was one of the first to combine the action on stage with both music and special effects in order to evoke an emotional overload from theatre-goers. It was quite common, according to contemporary accounts, for members of the audience to pass out from fright during performances of The Castle Spectre. The Playwright, Matthew Lewis, was one of the originators of early Literary Gothic with his novel, The Monk. This edition includes the text of the original five-act play, a condensed three-act version, biographies of the original performers, newspaper adverts, contemporary reviews and critiques, the original musical score, and a critical introduction.

Book Description
The Castle Spectre is a 1797 dramatic romance in five acts by Matthew "Monk" Lewis. It is a Gothic drama set in medieval Conway, Wales. The Castle Spectre was first performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, on 14 December 1797. The original cast included William Barrymore, Richard Wroughton, Charles Kemble, John Palmer, James Aickin, William Dowton, Jane Powell and Dorothea Jordan. In a period when very few plays reached ten performances in a season, it was staged forty-seven times before June, when the theatre closed for the summer. The play had a long run also in the following year and remained in the repertoire until the late 1820s, and was revived until the end of the century.
