Did 18th century English theaters typically present double features?
Post Body
I'm reading Goddess of the Green Room, a novel about Dorothea Jordan, and it's just taken for granted by the characters/narration that every play will be followed by a second piece - usually, I think, a short farce. This even comes up as a plot point when Dorothea refuses to play a farce after Sarah Siddons does Macbeth because she thinks the audience will respond badly to her. Would it really be the norm?
