Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This 18th-century treatise on the life and career of Colley Cibber, an actor-manager who came to lead Londonâs theatre scene, is written in the first person, promising an unvarnished insider's view of the theatre of the period. Cibber, a great success as a playwright and actor in his own right, reflects on the nature of entertainment and the sometimes-contentious profession of making people laugh for a living. The emerging popularity of stage drama during this period forms the backdrop to his personal reflections, and he provides character sketches of fellow thespians of the day, both kind and excoriating in equal measure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330887455_0
