"A Terrific Combat!!!" is an anthology of commentaries on stage fighting during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when Shakespeare's works were the life's blood of the great metropolitan theatres and rough-and-tumble melodramas played to packed houses. Full of colourful anecdotes and insights and illustrated with over one hundred rare photographs and drawings, "A Terrific Combat!!!" offers many hours of amusement and enlightenment. "I love this book. It is a little gem and it makes a unique addition to the range of books on the theatre, an homage to stage fighters from all ages." - William Hobbs
