Carpenter's Scene, insertion into a
pantomime or spectacular
musical comedy, played in front of a
backcloth while elaborate scenery is set up behind out of sight of the audience. In Victorian times it was used also in serious plays, but was no longer needed when the practice of dropping the front curtain between scene changes became general.
