This book contains Jerome K. Jerome s 1891 monograph on stage productions, entitled "On the Stage and Off." Within this work, Jerome reflects on his personal experiences both good and bad working as an actor in the late-nineteenth century. A fascinating and insightful text, "On the Stage and Off" is highly recommended for those with an interest in the development of theatre, and would make for a great addition to collections of related literature. The chapters include: I Determine to Become and Actor, I Become and Actor, Through the Stage Door, Behind the Scenes, A Rehearsal, Scenery and Supers, Dressing, My First Deboo, Birds of Prey, etcetera. Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859 - 1927) was an English writer and humourist, most famous for his comedic travelogue "Three Men in a Boat" (1889). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author."… (more)
