In Georgian London no one is more famous than Samuel Foote.
Satirist, impressionist and dangerous comedian, friend of David
Garrick and Dr Johnson, he is a bona fide celebrity in an age
obsessed with fame. He even has the ear of the King. But when Foote
finds himself at the centre of a media storm - and under the
surgeon's knife - there's only one question on everyone's lips:
does fame make you mad? Based on Ian Kelly's award-winning
biography, Mr Foote's Other Leg is a riotously funny play exploring
our obsession with celebrities, through the true story of the Oscar
Wilde of the eighteenth century. It premiered at Hampstead Theatre
in September 2015, in a production directed by Richard Eyre and
featuring Simon Russell Beale as Foote. 'Written with panache and
wit - as lively and entertaining a historical biography as you are
ever likely to read' Sunday Times on Ian Kelly's biography of
Samuel Foote
