Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the London Stage: And Its Famous Players (1576 1903) A Full and complete history of the London stage would fill some scores of volumes - Geneste required ten for the history of the patent theatres and the Haymarket - he touches upon little else - from 1660 to 1830. With the space at my disposal I could do no more than generalise; but I have endeavoured to give a continuous and consecutive history of the rise, progress, changes, vicissitudes of the London stage from its foundation in 1576 to the present day - from the Blackfriars of Shakespeare and the Drury Lane of Garrick to "the Vic." and the Bower Saloon. My difficulty has been to select out of the plethora of materials such as would most vividly tell my story, as well as prove most acceptable to my readers. To condense within one volume the principal dramatic events, with some account of the authors who created them and the actors who embodied them, through a period of about three hundred and thirty years, distributed among the many scores of theatres that have risen, fallen, and still exist, from the time when James Burbage built The Theatre to the opening of the New Gaiety, has been a task to which much thought and labour have had to be given. In treating of the actors I have been compelled, except in rare cases, to confine myself entirely to their stage careers.
