=== Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian Theater ===
During the nineteenth century, theater became more refined, especially as women began to act in plays. This was especially true during the [[Victorian era]], an era given to ostentatious display in visual art and architecture but also to scrupulous modesty in fashion and deportment. This era is also called the "neoclassical" era of theater.
