Jacky Bratton presents a new history of London's West End theatre, finding that the first hit shows staged by Victorian managements were often led by women. The book explores the sometimes bizarre early history of gender-bending burlesque, and reveals Charles Dickens as the leading writer in London show-business, yesterday and today.
