Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What happens when an actor owns shares in the stage on which he performs and the newspapers that review his performances Celebrity that lasts over 240 years. From 1741, David Garrick dominated the London theatre world as the progenitor of a new 'natural' style of acting. From 1747 to 1776, he was a part-owner and manager of Drury Lane, controlling most aspects of the theatre's life.
