Autor

John Brougham was born on May 9, 1814, in Dublin, Ireland, the eldest of three children. His father, an amateur painter, passed away young, and his mother, due to religious persecution, lived in exile. Raised by his uncle, Brougham was educated at an academy in Trim, County Meath, and later at Trinity College Dublin, where he developed a passion for acting. Though initially preparing for a career in surgery, financial hardship forced him to leave his studies, and in 1830, he moved to London. There, he met actress Lucia Elizabeth Vestris, who helped him secure work in London's theatrical scene, marking the beginning of his career. Brougham went on to become an actor, dramatist, poet, and theatre manager, with his most notable contributions being in the genres of burlesque and satire. He was widely acclaimed for his portrayals of comic Irish characters and wrote over seventy-five plays. His career took him to the United States in 1842, where he became a prominent figure in American theatre. After returning to England, he continued his work on the stage until his death in 1880. Brougham was also known for his miscellaneous writings, including essays and poems.
