About the Book

David Garrick: A Comedy In Three Acts is a play written by Thomas W. Robertson and first published in 1869. The play is a fictionalized account of the life of David Garrick, a famous 18th-century English actor and playwright. The story follows Garrick as he rises to fame in the London theater scene, navigating the challenges of romance, rivalries, and the pressures of celebrity.The play is divided into three acts, each of which explores different aspects of Garrick's life and career. Act One introduces Garrick as a struggling actor, trying to make a name for himself in London. He is aided by his friend and mentor, the playwright Samuel Foote, but faces competition from other actors and a hostile theater critic.In Act Two, Garrick has become a successful actor and playwright, but finds himself torn between his love for the actress Peg Woffington and his loyalty to his long-suffering wife, Eva. Meanwhile, his rival, the actor Spranger Barry, plots to undermine Garrick's success and steal his roles.The final act sees Garrick facing his greatest challenge yet, as he prepares to stage a new play that he hopes will cement his reputation as a great playwright. However, he must contend with the machinations of his enemies, as well as the unforeseen consequences of his own actions.Throughout the play, Robertson explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the nature of fame, while also providing a colorful portrait of the London theater scene in the 18th century. David Garrick: A Comedy In Three Acts remains a popular work of theater today, and is considered one of Robertson's most successful plays.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
