A STEAL! No foolsIthis is an original. Made out of wax, this portrait depicts the famed stage actor David Garrick, who lived between the years 1717 and 1779. Reknowned on the English stage as one of the best actors of the 18th Century, Garrick's career began when he became friends with the writer Samuel Johnson. The two went off to London and Garrick landed the classic Shakespearean role of Richard III. Other plays would come, most notably King Lear. He also starred in Hamlet, The Tempest, A Winter's Tale, The Taming of the Shrew and an adaptation of Samuel Richardson's Pamela. He was an innovator at the Drury Lane Theater. A rebellious performer onstage, this item is a must have for any theatre goer or lover. *http://www.encyclopedia.com/articles/04933.html, http://shakespeare.eb.com/shakespeare/micro/227/51.html
