The World of Variety

"One night at a Variety show the conductor of the theatre orchestra, having had too much to drink - not for the first time - tripped over three times as he entered the pit and had to be dragged to his place by orchestra members." (excerpt from Bristol's Forgotten Empire)

The Lost Theatres of Dublin by Philip B. Ryan; foreword by Phlip Chevron. 256 pages, 111 illustrations.

Lost Theatres of Dublin
The Theatre Royal , The Queen's, the old Abbey, The Capitol, Dan Lowrey's Music Hall . . . names that evoke not just a vanished Dublin, but an era during which Ireland began to take its place in the vanguard of both world theatre and popular entertainment.

"In this loving testament to live performance, Ryan communicates the vitality, glamour and sometimes tawdriness of popular theatre, and Variety in particular" (The Daily Telegraph)

"Perhaps it should be passed on, like a family bible. It is that good." Sunday Independent, Dublin
