Old Wild's: A Nursery of Strolling Players

This is the first-hand story of a family-led company touring with a 'portable' theatre as told to a contemporary journalist towards the end of Sam Wild's life.

It gives a vivid picture of the conditions of a showman's life, the repertoire and the kind of entertainment. First published 1888, here reprinted for the first time, with a new index.
