Excerpt from A Playgoer's Memories I don't know why you should apply to me for a foreword to your book on the inner history of the late Victorian and Edwardian stage, unless it be for the reason that no one else in the theatrical world is so ignorant as I of the said inner history. I have never in my life been in a green-room - does such a thing exist nowadays - and at theatrical clubs I have been a very infrequent and somewhat dépaysé guest. Therefore I could as easily have written a book on Einstein's Theory of Relativity as on the subjects which you handle with such suave and humane omniscience. I suppose, then, that you apply to me as the least expert and the most appreciative reader you can find. You know how I delighted in your Fifty Years of a Londoner's Life, and you make with confidence a second appeal to my interest in the men and women whom I have hitherto known only, or mainly, as actors and actresses.

This carefully crafted ebook: “King Richard III (The Unabridged Play) + The Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Richard III is a historical play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in approximately 1592. It depicts the Machiavellian rise to power and subsequent short reign of Richard III of England. The play chronicles Richard's dramatic rise and fall. Shakespeare famously portrays him as a "deformed hunchback" who ruthlessly lies, murders, and manipulates his way to throne before being taken down by the guy who becomes King Henry VII (whose reign ends the Wars of the Roses and ushers in the Tudor dynasty). Despite his wickedness, Richard is the kind of villain that audiences just love to hate. Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the eminent critic Sidney Lee.
