Autor

Alan Dale, born Alfred J. Cohen in 1861 in Birmingham, United Kingdom, was a prominent British theatre critic, playwright, and author whose career spanned the late Victorian and early 20th century periods. Known for his sharp wit and unapologetic commentary, he played a significant role in shaping public opinion about the theatrical world during a transformative era in British and American stage history. His work as a critic was influential in both London and New York, where he gained recognition for his bold, often controversial reviews. Beyond criticism, Dale also wrote plays and books, contributing to the broader literary and cultural conversations of his time. He was particularly noted for his insight into the evolving nature of performance and entertainment, offering a unique perspective that blended deep theatrical knowledge with a critical edge. Though his style sometimes drew ire from the theatrical community, his legacy remains that of a fearless voice in drama criticism. Alan Dale passed away in 1928 in Plymouth, United Kingdom, leaving behind a complex but impactful literary and theatrical legacy.
