This highly acclaimed and compelling show tells the story of the great Victorian actor-manager, Macready – the man to whom Charles Dickens dedicated “Nicholas Nickleby.”
A must for drama fans, this remarkable true tale captures the sheer joy, graft and tribulations of a life lived in theatre.
With passion, humour, emotion, and an array of characters, Stratford takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of Victorian theatre and the extraordinary, yet conflicted life of Macready, from his first tentative steps on stage in a tatty country theatre to his final ever performance at the mighty Drury Lane!
