Birth: | 6th November, 1671 |
Death: | 11th December, 1757 |
Nationality: | British |
Profession: | Actor, Playwright, Poet, Theatre Manager |
Colley Cibber was born in Southampton Street, London, England. He was an English playwright, actor, poet and theatre Manager. His colourful memoir Apology for the Life of Colley Cibber describes his life in a personal, anecdotal and even rambling style. He wrote 25 plays. Cibber's poetical work was derided in his time, and has been remembered only for being poor. His importance in British theatre history rests on his being one of the first in a long line of actor-managers, on the interest of two of his comedies as documents of evolving early 18th-century taste and ideology, and on the value of his autobiography as a historical source.
