Synopsis

This enthralling collection of weird and wonderful tales from the world of theatre includes such unusual stories as the legendary ghost of Drury Lane, how an actor can exorcise the curse of Macbeth, and the well-known theatre manager who fried bacon and eggs in the Royal Box to feed her starving cast at the interval. If you have ever wondered whether what happens in the stalls is actually more dramatic than what happens on stage, which shows were so bad that they closed during the interval on the first night, or how the 'green room' was named, then 'Theatre's Strangest Acts' is the book for you.

Media Reviews
Endlessly entertaining, these albums of mad miscellany abound with true tales of history's strangest characters and events--from potty potentates to dotty inventions. A mind-boggling excursion through the byways of the bizarre.
