Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. The essence and significance of the profession of acting are explored with candor and respect by a nineteenth-century English author steeped in the realities and the allure of theatre life. At once an affectionate tribute and an astute critical examination, this book captures the highs and lows, the aspirations and the indignities, and the occasional despair and routine delights of life as an actor or a part-time player. Touching on the themes of poverty, aspiration, literature, art for art's sake, and the overall human condition, the author presents the professional actor as an 'Honest Fool' whose eccentricities are as much a part of the character as they are of the man. The result is a valuable and entertaining insight into a specific time and place in theatre history, as well as a poignant commentary on the theatrical life and its enduring themes.
