This is the grim story of the British and Irish immigrants who came to America  during the middle of the nineteenth century. Much the largest contingent was Irish, and it was  above all the departure of the Irish to America, diseased, half-starved, bewildered, cheated and  cheating, which made the emigrant way across the Atlantic as degrading as the convict route to  the South Seas, and almost as cruel as the Middle Passage of the slave ships.    Confronting the immigrants at every turn were inescapable horrors. Ship owners packed their  holds like slavers; brokers misrepresented and overcharged; runners stole when they couldn't  cheat; customs officials took bribes to ignore overcrowding. And when the immigrants arrived  the swindling didn't stop. They were fleeced by lodging-house keepers, separated from their  possessions, and sold fraudulent railroad or canal boat tickets--in short, the whole, cruel  apparatus of immigration was turned against them.

Londons Old Vic theatre opened in 1818 with a rowdy melodrama and continued with Edward Keans Richard III being howled down by an audience of unmitigated brutes. This richly illustrated book charts its 200-year-long history - a rollercoaster ride that included spells as a music hall and temperance tavern, dilapidation and war damage, and its magnificent restoration by Ed Mirvish in 2002, and takes in some of the greatest names in theatrical history, from Lilian Baylis to Laurence Olivier.
