What is T.w. Robertson And The Prince Of Wales's Theatre about?

T.w. Robertson (1829-1871) Was One Of The Most Popular And Influential Dramatists In The Nineteenth-century English Theatre. His Plays, Especially The Six Comedies He Wrote For The Prince Of Wales's Theatre In London From 1865 To 1870, Were Widely Performed In England And America Through The End Of The Century, And His Best-known Work, Caste, Is Still Performed Today.
