"Their Majesties' Servants: Annals of the English Stage (Volume 3 of 3)" by Dr. Doran is a journey through the dynamic world of the English theater, primarily during the 1700s. It shines a light on the notable playwrights and actors who shaped the stage. The narrative begins by pointing out how tragic plays seemed to stall after Shakespeare's time, while comedies blossomed with fresh talent like Sheridan, creator of famous play "The School for Scandal."
