On the Stage—And Off & Stage-Land [A Whisky Priest Book]

Before becoming a hugely popular novelist and writer of essays and plays, Jerome K. Jerome spent three appalling years as an actor in a threadbare repertory company. Fortunately, he was later able to turn the experience into this hilarious theatrical memoir, 'On the Stage—And Off'. This volume also includes 'Stage-Land', Jerome’s funny and cynical demolition of the clichés of the late-Victorian stage.
