Theatre has always been a site for selling outrage and sensation, a
place where public reputations are made and destroyed in
spectacular ways. This is the first book to investigate the
construction and production of celebrity in the British theatre.
These exciting essays explore aspects of fame, notoriety and
transgression in a wide range of performers and playwrights
including David Garrick, Oscar Wilde, Ellen Terry, Laurence Olivier
and Sarah Kane. This pioneering volume examines the ingenious ways
in which these stars have negotiated their own fame. The essays
also analyze the complex relationships between discourses of
celebrity and questions of gender, spectatorship and the operation
of cultural markets.
