Hamlet, William Shakespeare
The book contains pencilled annotations used as a prompt book by H.B. Irving, Sir Henry Irving’s son, who was also an actor. As a child, he appeared a couple of times
in his father’s productions. He studied law at Marlborough College and New College, Oxford, but ultimately decided to become an actor. After his father’s death, he established his own company, which included his wife, and toured most provincial cities, playing mainly repeats of Sir Henry Irving’s best remembered performances.
