"Timotheus: or, The Future of the Theatre" by Bonamy Dobrée is a speculative work exploring the potential evolution of theatrical arts, written in the early 20th century. This book blends elements of science fiction and cultural critique, presenting a vivid vision of what theatre might look like in the future, particularly in the year 2100. Dobrée delves into the complexities of drama, audience engagement, and the intersection of technology and emotion in performance. In this imaginative narrative, the author depicts a world where theatre has become an intricate, emotionally manipulative experience, using advanced technology to evoke profound feelings in audiences. The story follows a journey through various types of theatres, such as the National Theatre and the Cathartic Theatre, revealing how performances are meticulously crafted to harness psychological principles for emotional influence. The characters discussed include fairfussers, who use inventive techniques to create theatrical experiences that transcend traditional narratives. Dobrée critiques contemporary attitudes towards art, showcasing the tension between artistic expression and societal expectations, ultimately posing questions about the essence and purpose of theatre in human life.
