** 25% DISCOUNT **
A lively biography of the father of modern theatre that concentrates on his acting style and his pivotal reforms to both acting and directing
Actor, director, impresario, author, David Garrick is the most legendary man of the theatre of modern times. He reformed English theatre practice, established a 'natural' style of acting, and made the profession socially acceptable
As his great friend Dr Johnson remarked, no actor before Garrick had made so much money or achieved such an eminent position in society
Not for nothing is one of the most exclusive
clubs in London named after him; Garrick was the first
international 'megastar'
