1898 The Medicine-Man
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Very Scarce
A very scarce work.
'The Medicine-Man' was privately printed, and never published for the public.
Henry Irving's copy, with his annotations to a few pages. Irving produced the play at the Lyceum Theatre in 1898, however it was not considered to be one of his successes. Irving was a noted Victorian stage actor and manager. He was the first actor to ever be awarded a knighthood in 1895.
'The Medicine-Man' is an entertaining play, written by Henry Duff Traill in conjunction with Robert Hichens.
The play was produced by Sir Henry Irving, and performed at the Lyceum Theatre, opening on the 4th May 1898, and running for about four weeks.
