The Gaiety Years is the story of the Guv'nor, his theatres and his times. This was the London of Irving and Tree, of Ellen Terry and Mrs Patrick Campbell, Gilbert and Sullivan, Wilde, Shaw and Pinero, a glittering theatre-mad city where the riotous first night of Pygmalion was of more widespread interest than many graver events in the real world off stage. Alan Hyman has achieved a social cameo of a unique age, not so far from our own in time yet centuries away in manners and attitudes.
