Born in 1855 and put to work in the family law business at the age of ten, Arthur Wing Pinero deserted middle-class respectability to become an actor. He learnt his trade in the old provincial stock system before he joined Henry Irving’s company at the Lyceum, and began to write plays that were to change the face of British theatre.
