Euclid Ave. City: Saint Louis, Province: Missouri Postal Code: 63108 Country: United States (added from IndieBound)… (more)Michael Holroyd Michael Holroyd reads from A Strange Eventful History. Ellen Terry was a natural actress who filled the theatre with a magical radiance. The Times called her the ‘uncrowned queen of England’ but behind her public success lay a darker story. She eloped with a friend of Oscar Wilde at 21 and gave birth to two illegitimate children. But her greatest partnership was on-stage, with legendary actor-manager and tragedian Henry Irving. At the Lyceum Theatre in London, the two of them created a grand Cathedral of the Arts. In A Strange Eventful History (Chatto & Windus), Michael Holroyd examines their lives and those of their extended families, including the extraordinary, forgotten man of modernism, Edward Gordon Craig.
