Hi Everyone Please can anyone tell me more about the above named book. How long has it been going and does it list people other than actors such as theatre managers and other staff? I am looking for info on Charles James Nugent who seems to have been involved with Her Majesty's Theatre in London c 1850/60's and possibly the New Holborn Amphitheatre 1860/70's Charles's son Charles Sidden Nugent also at one time worked in Drury Lane Theatre. He was a clerk at the age of 21 in 1861 but he could have risen to something higher as he appears to have been a 'man of property' by the 1890's Thanks for any help you can give regards MOIRA
