Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dramatic Works: With Prefatory Memoir and Notes John Lacy, comedian, the author and adapter of the dramatic pieces in this volume, was born in the vicinity of Doncaster. According to Aubrey, be "came to London, to ye playhouse, 1631," and apprenticed himself to John Ogilby, who at that time exercised the vocation of a dancing-master. This latter meritorious individual, born at Edinburgh in 1600, was the means, at the age of thirteen, along with his mother´s combined industry, of releasing his father, a gentleman who had dissipated a good estate, from the King´s Bench Prison, and assisting him to pay his debts. He then became apprentice to one Mr. Draper, who kept a dancing-school in Gray´s Inn Lane, "and in a short time arrived to so great excellency in that art, that he found means to purchase his time of his master, and sett up for himselfe." In addition to his teaching, Ogilby figured occasionally in court masques, until an accident unfitted him for such public displays.
