Autor

An English actor, writer, and author named Theophilus Cibber was born on November 25 or 26 or 1703 and died in October 1758. He was the son of actor-manager Colley Cibber. He started playing when he was young and then became a theater manager like his father. Alex Pope made fun of Theophilus Cibber in his 1727 work The Dunciad by calling him a young man who "thrusts his person full into your face" (III 132). He was famous on stage for playing Pistol in Henry IV, Part 2 and some of the comedic roles his father had played when he was younger, but some harsh critics said he put too much stress on certain parts. Theophilus got a bad name and was involved in a scandal because of his private life. He was on his way to Ireland and a season in Dublin when his ship sank. Theophilus Cibber was born during the Great Storm of 1703 and started playing at the Drury Lane Theatre when he was 16 years old, in 1721. Cibber was a notorious rake when he was younger, and he hung out with other young men of the same mind and character, like the Duke of Wharton.
