Presented at the 1869 Conference University of Otago.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/12962My question in this paper is very simple. If you went to the Theatre in Aotearoa/NZ in 1869, what could you see? How were theatre goers in 1869 entertained? Indeed I toyed with subtitles, such as Maximus/Russell Crowe's "are you not entertained?", from Gladiator; or thought of borrowing the title from That's Entertainment, MGM's 1974 homage to its own glorious history of Hollywood musicals.application/pdfen© 2019 copyright with the authorNew Zealand Theatre 1869
