During her short life, Margaret Woffington (1720-1760) dominated the Georgian Dublin and London stages in comic and cross-dressed roles, with her breeches part as Sir Henry Wilder causing a storm at the Theatre Royal, Dury Lane. Known professionally as Peg, the Irish actor (initially apprenticed to Madame Sovre, a tightrope artist) was professionally, socially and financially canny. She successfully navigated socialite circles and affairs with aristocrats (plus a lengthy one with David Garrick), and never relinquished financial control (by never marrying), allowing her to raise and support her sister Mary and provide a pension for her mother. Reade's original 1853 novel was based on his play Masks and Swags (1852, with Tom Taylor); it spawned various film versions during the silent era.
