This highly-acclaimed solo play by Mark Stratford tells the story of the Victorian actor-manager, Macready - the man to whom Dickens dedicated "Nicholas Nickleby."

A remarkable true tale which captures the sheer joy, graft and tribulations of a life lived in theatre.

With passion, humour, emotion, and an array of characters, Stratford takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of Victorian theatre and the extraordinary, yet conflicted life of Macready, from his first tentative steps on stage in a tatty country theatre to his final ever performance at the mighty Drury Lane!
