	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).

		Cibber's brash, extroverted personality did not sit well with his contemporaries, and he was frequently accused of tasteless theatrical productions, social and political opportunism (which was thought to have gained him the laureateship over far better poets), and shady business methods.
		Cibber's creation of the combined actor-manager role is important in the history of the British stage because he was the first in a long and illustrious line which would include such luminaries as David Garrick, Henry Irving, and Herbert Beerbohm Tree.
		Cibber had learned from the bad example of Christopher Rich to be a careful and approachable employer for his actors, and was not unpopular with them, but made enemies in the literary world by his obvious enjoyment of the power he wielded over authors.

		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.

		Theophilus Cibber (1703-1758, son of the actor-manager-playwright Colley Cibber) staged Romeo and Juliet at The Little Theatre in September 1744.
		Cibber's alterations to the plot included cutting Rosaline so that Romeo was in love with Juliet from the start of the play - there was, therefore, no ball scene.
		Despite this negativity, Cibber wrote that 'our audiences were frequently numerous, and of the politest sort' and the play ran for ten nights, only closing due to theatre licensing problems.

		Matus is correct but unintentionally deflects attention from the Cult of Bardolatry promoted by the Drury Lane Theater under the leadership of Colley Cibber and his son, Theophilus, long before Garrick became an actor and co-manager of this theater in the 1740s.
		It is intriguing to observe that in his The Lives of the Poets of Great Britain and Ireland (1753) Theophilus Cibber (1703-1758) significantly expanded on the first serious biographical account of the Stratford man that Nicholas Rowe had attached to his critical edition of the Bard's works in 1709.
		Whatever Theophilus Cibber's motives, it is hard to avoid the impression that Bardolatry was stimulated by Rowe's biographical essay in 1709 and intensified with the reopening of the old Theater Royal (renamed The Drury Lane Theater) in 1710-11 under the leadership of Colley Cibber.

		He took over the management of Drury Lane in 1710 and was as theater manager highly commercially, if not artistically, successful.
		Cibber wrote in detail about his time in the theater, especially his early years as a young actor at Drury Lane in the 1690s, giving a vivid account of the cutthroat theater company rivalries and chicanery of the time, as well as providing pen portraits of the actors he knew.
		Because he worked with many actors from the early days of Restoration theater, such as Thomas Betterton and Elizabeth Barry (albeit at the end of their careers) and lived to see the ultra-modern David Garrick perform, he is a fascinating bridge between a mannered and a more naturalistic style of performance.
