Biographical History
Epithet: actor theatre manager and dramatist
English actor and dramatist.
Benjamin Webster was an actor, playwright, and theatre manager. Born in Bath, his father was a dancing and fencing master; Webster attended military school, but avoided a proferred commission by running away to become an actor. After a colorful youthful interlude, he reached the stage as a popular actor, dancer, pantomimist, and violinist. He also managed the Haymarket and Adelphi Theatres, and wrote or adapated numerous plays, mostly farces or light comedies, that remain chiefly unpublished.
