Book Synopsis
The Hanlons - a family of six brothers from Manchester, England - were one of the world's premiere performing troupes in the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, yet their legacy has been mostly forgotten. This book documents the careers of this talented family and enumerates their many contributions to modern popular entertainment.

Trade Review
"The Hanlons are to physical comedy on stage what Chaplin and Keaton are to the slapstick in silent movies. So far their influential contribution has been overlooked by historians. Mark Cosdon sets this to rights in his scrupulously researched, entertainingly written study. His skills as trained scholar and circus performer combine to provide insight into the Hanlons' techniques and their significance." - Laurence Senelick, author of The Chekhov Theatre: A Century of the Plays in Performance"
