Tragic Carpet, green baize stage
cloth which by the end of the 17th century was invariably spread over the stage before the performance of a tragedy, to prevent the actors from soiling their costumes when collapsing on the dusty boards. It continued in use until well into the 19th century, and is often referred to in theatrical memoirs and letters. Earlier mentions of permanent green cloth coverings, once thought to refer to the tragic carpet, are now believed to refer to the benches in the auditorium.
