Theatres in Victorian and Edwardian era weren't huge on Health & Safety, and mishaps were the norm, which would lead to a number of deaths.

Deaths including lions, horses and even cannonballs all feature in this book and are mentioned by us in this interview.

Mentioned throughout is Chris' first book 'Famous Last Words', please find here:
