Footlights is a book written by John Hollingshead and first published in 1883. The book is a collection of essays, anecdotes, and observations about the world of theatre in 19th century England. Hollingshead was a prominent figure in the theatre world of his time, having been a manager of several London theatres, and his book provides a fascinating insight into the workings of the theatre industry during this period. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the practicalities of running a theatre to the personalities of the actors and actresses who graced the stage. Hollingshead also delves into the social and cultural significance of the theatre, exploring its role in shaping public opinion and reflecting the values of society. Throughout the book, Hollingshead's wit and humour shine through, as he recounts amusing anecdotes and pokes fun at the foibles of his fellow theatre professionals. However, he also demonstrates a deep love and respect for the theatre, and his passion for the art form is evident in his writing. Overall, Footlights is a fascinating and entertaining read for anyone interested in the history of theatre or the cultural life of 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
