Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This is a collection of reminiscences from George Grossmith, a turn-of-the-century English actor, who performed in the heyday of the Gaiety Theatre and was a close contemporary of the great impresario George Edwardes. Covering a wide range of topics, from the philosophy of acting to the social customs of the time, Grossmith reflects on the nature of love and the ways in which it manifested in the bohemian world of the theater. From his observations on the craft of acting and the nature of dramatic illusion to his frank and funny anecdotes about the scandalous love affairs of his fellow actors, Grossmith offers a unique perspective on the lighter side of life in an era of unparalleled theatrical achievement. His insights into early 20th-century culture and society are sharp, witty, and highly entertaining.
