The Terrible Fitzball
The Melodramatist of the Macabre
Larry Stephen Clifton

Popular Press


The greatest portrayer of blue-fire deviltry, Edward Fitzball was a melodramatist on the nineteenth-century British stage. His Theatre of the Macabre was very much a forebearer of the sensationalized media of today. Clifton discusses Fitzball's life, and his dramatic oeuvre.
