  Theatre has always been a site for selling outrage and sensation, a place where public reputations are made and destroyed in spectacular ways. These exciting essays explore aspects of fame, notoriety and transgression in a wide range of performers and playwrights including David Garrick, Oscar Wilde, Ellen Terry, Laurence Olivier and Sarah Kane.
