"The Case of Mrs. Clive" by Mrs. Clive is a personal account written during the early 18th century, specifically in the 1740s. The book falls into the category of dramatic literature and offers a unique insight into the theatrical disputes of the time. Focused primarily on the unfair treatment and challenges faced by the actress Catherine Clive, it addresses issues of salary, the power dynamics within the theater, and the exploitation by theater managers. In this document, Catherine Clive presents her grievances against the managers of Drury Lane and Covent Garden theaters, where she had expected to have a fair opportunity to earn a living as an actress. She articulates her challenges in securing equitable pay, as well as her treatment compared to her fellow performers. Clive highlights the injustices that result from the monopoly created by the licensing act, which severely restricted acting opportunities and allowed managers to manipulate salaries. Throughout her case, she combines personal narrative with broader commentary on the state of the theatrical profession, portraying her struggle not only as a personal battle but a larger movement for the rights and recognition of actors in the performing arts.
