A Player and a Gentleman
Hughes, Amy E. / Stubbs, Naomi J.
Actor, playwright, and producer Harry Watkins (1825-94) was also a prolific diarist. For 15 years Watkins recorded the plays he saw, the roles he performed, the books he read, and his impressions of current events. Theatre historians Amy E. Hughes and Naomi J. Stubbs have selected, edited, and annotated substantial excerpts from the diary.
