A Just View of the British Stage
''A Just View of the British Stage'' or ''Three Heads are Better than One'' is an unsigned 1724 engraving attributed to the English artist William Hogarth. It is a satirical view of the management of British plays and mocks the subjects as degenerate. It forms part of an attack on the tastes of the theatre which Hogarth mounted in earnest between 1723 with ''Masquerades and Operas'' and 1727 with ''Masquerade Ticket'' (and which would continue to some extent in later works including ''Charmers of the Age'' in 1740–41).〔Eck p.53〕
==Background==
The staging of ''Harlequin Sheppard'' — a play by John Thurmond based around the exploits of the famed criminal and escape-artist Jack Sheppard — by the three impresarios of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane: Colley Cibber, the actor Barton Booth, and Robert Wilks, in November 1724, spurred Hogarth into immediate action.〔 The play was so poor that it closed after only seven performances, but for Hogarth it was evidence that while they claimed to be for high art, the Drury Lane producers were actually trying to out-compete John Rich at Lincoln's Inn Fields. Rich was at the forefront of the resurgence of the pantomime in England and his productions aimed at spectacle rather than art.
