	Colley Cibber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cibber's works provide valuable documentation of London stage practices for today's historians, and two of his original comedies are particularly useful records of the changing culture and ideology of the early 18th century.
		Cibber's comedies Love's Last Shift (1696) and The Careless Husband (1704) are early heralds of a massive shift in audience taste, away from the intellectualism and sexual frankness of Restoration comedy and towards the conservative certainties and gender role backlash of exemplary or sentimental comedy.
		Cibber's application on behalf of his son for a patent to perform at the Haymarket was, however, refused by the Lord Chamberlain, who was "disgusted at Cibber's conduct" (Lowe).

	§9. Colley Cibber’s "Apology". V. Arbuthnot and Lesser Prose Writers. Vol. 9. From Steele and Addison to Pope ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Colley Cibber, Comedian, 1740; but of this mention has already been made in a previous chapter, in connection with Cibber’s earlier plays.
		From the time that Pope substituted Cibber for Theobald as hero of the Dunciad, Cibber has been constantly misrepresented as being a dunce, whereas his plays are amusing, and he is an admirable dramatic critic.
		Johnson was not friendly to Cibber, but he admitted that An Apology was “very well done,” and Horace Walpole calls it “inimitable.” The book is admirable as an autobiography, because it displays the whole character of the writer; the criticism is intelligent and well informed; and the style is bright and amusing.

		In 1717 Cibber produced the Nonjuror, an adaptation from Molière's Tartuffe; the play, for which Nicholas Rowe wrote an abusive prologue, ran eighteen nights, and the author received from George I, to whom it was dedicated, a present of two hundred guineas.
		In 1730 Anne Oldfield died, and her loss was followed in 1732 by that of Wilks; Cibber now sold his share in the theater, appearing rarely on the stage thereafter.
		Cibber is rebuked for his mutilation of Shakespeare by Fielding in the Historical Register for 1736, where he figures as Ground Ivy.

		Cibber also write a provocatively entitled autobiography, An Apology for the Life of Mr Colly Cibber (1740), generally considered to be the best account of the theatre of his time and a fine study of the craft of acting.

	Richard III Society--Colley Cibber, Richard III
		Cibber was not a poetic genius, his widely ridiculed appointment as Poet Laureate notwithstanding, but he was a skilled craftsman who understood how to make the theatrical conventions of his age work effectively on stage almost as well as Shakespeare knew the tricks of late Elizabethan theater.
		A director who is doing Shakespeare's version might consider adding a little Cibber to the mix or trying some of Cibber's cuts and doubling to reduce the often unwieldy size of Shakespeare's cast or to tighten up the action.
		The former is, after all, mostly Shakespeare's, and the scene with Anne, though entirely Cibber's invention, is in keeping with Richard's character as limned by Shakespeare, and, though not immortal verse, is excellent melodrama.

		Vanbrugh wrote The Relapse as a reply to Cibber's play because he felt Cibber's beatific views of love and marriage, in which a virtuous wife is savior to her husband, made Love's Last Shift unrealistic.
		Colley Cibber wrote his Love’s Last Shift to delight the town—four acts of delicious vice followed by one rousing scene of redemption.
		In her piece, Freed has adjusted the social code of Cibber and Vanbrugh’s London to read legibly to a modern audience, streamlined the personnel, and generally given the 310-year-old sister plays some cunning face work.

		Cibber was educated at Winchester College, but left at the age of 16 to join the Drury Lane Theatre, where his father was co-manager.
		Despite his unscrupulousness as an individual (see Susanna Cibber), Cibber maintained his reputation as an actor during most of his life: he excelled as a comedian, specializing in the playing of fops, but was also compelling in broader roles, including that of Pistol, whose name he acquired as a nickname.
		As an author he was undistinguished, his works showing that tendency, exhibited in other areas of his life, to prey upon the efforts of others.

		On this day in 1740, writing as Captain Hercules Vinegar, Henry Fielding summoned poet laureate Colley Cibber to court, charged with the murder of the English language.
		Fielding was not only a satiric playwright and novelist but a lawyer (soon, a justice of the peace) and a notorious wag; his joke would have been popular among London's coffeehouse wits, most of whom would know of Fielding's enmity for Cibber, if not share it.
		Cibber was seen by Fielding and the others -- Alexander Pope made Cibber the dunce-hero of "The Dunciad" -- as a puffed-up, self-promoting Man of Literature.
