How to Build a Plot from Historical Facts (1700s Fireworks Edition)

Explore a rare 1700s fireworks text with historical details on pyrotechnics, royal celebrations, and early public spectacle traditions.

I’ll send you thoughtful notes each month: new findings from the past, quiet provocations on preparing historical roles, and on building characters from evidence, not cliché.
