Mathews, known more for his kinetic one-man "entertainments" than for his performances in legitimate comic drama, may never have intended to perform "A Trip to America" anywhere but in England.
Much conjecture has been put forth in the meantime as to the relevance, importance, and artistic merit of Charles Mathews' "A Trip to America." While it is at times difficult to determine exactly what transpired during the entertainment in question, a close examination of existing evidence suggests an interesting relationship between travel and performance.
By examining the work of Charles Mathews, I hope to launch a discussion of the unique qualities of live performance as a form of travel reporting, the issue of accuracy, and the place in all of this for entertainment itself.
