This book examines their long careers on the London stage, which spanned over thirty years from 1782 to 1817, and in particular considers their work together. In addition to appearing opposite one another in several Shakespeare plays (including King John, Coriolanus, and Macbeth) the actors’ careers were also marked by political upheaval and two major Shakespeare scandals: the staging of Vortigern (a fake Shakespearean play) in 1796 and the Old Price Riots of 1809 (during which the audience challenged Siddons’s and Kemble’s perceived attempts to control Shakespeare).
