Charlie Chaplin first formed the story of Limelight as a 34,000-word novella, Footlights. This book traces the evolution of the story, from its origin in Chaplin's 1916 meeting with Nijinsky, then recounts the making of the film, and traces the real-life sources of Chaplin's memories: the people and theatres of London's Soho, and the ballet tradition of the theatres of Leicester Square, the Empire and the Alhambra.--From back cover.

Theatre has provided many words and meanings which we use - ignorant of their origins - in everyday writing and speech. This is the first book to explore 2,000 theatre terms in depth, in some cases tracing their history over two and a half millenia, in others exploring expressions less than a decade old. Terms are defined, shown in use and cross-referenced in ways which will fascinate theatre-goers, help theatre students and encourage those engaged in the theatre to examine the familiar from new angles.
