The Birth of Modern Theatre is a vivid description of the eighteenth-century London theatre scene - a time when the theatre took on many of the features of our modern stage."This book vividly reconstructs their (the actors) lives, careers and occasional scandals" Times Higher Education
"The Birth of Modern Theatre is a vivid and easy to read account of eighteenth-century London and how this era marked the beginning of theater as we know it today." Broadway World
"The Birth of Modern Theatre is frequently an engaging read, as one would expect from a compendium of juicy thespian lore, including the flooding of Garrick’s Shakespeare Jubilee and the amputation of Foote’s foot: these, truly, are anecdotes not of an age, but for all time." James Horowitz, Sarah Lawrence College
