About This Book

A richly illustrated, chapter-by-chapter chronicle of the English stage from the Restoration era onward, outlining the organization of theatre companies, prominent performers and managers, repertory and dramatic authorship, theatrical venues, audience practices, rivalries and unions, and the evolution of performance conventions; biographical sketches of leading actors and actresses are paired with commentary on production, competition, and professional life, while portraits and engravings accompany documentary notes and corrected records to serve both general readers and reference use.

Mr. Garrick as Sir John Brute.
