Mark Melford (c.1850 - 4 January 1914) born in Fareham, Hampshire, was a British "dramatic author, actor and variety artiste". His career encompassed the era of the late Victorian farce, the music halls and early British cinema. Mark Melford was a prolific playwright and wrote not only dramas, farces, melodramas and comic sketches, but also a musical drama, and a comic opera. He was also an accomplished comic actor often taking the leading role in his own works. As a playwright, the genre in which he was most prolific was farce; Jeffrey H. Huberman in his Late Victorian Farce writes that Mark Melford wrote and had produced more full-length original farces than any other Victorian playwright. The hand-list of plays in Allardyce Nicoll's six-volume A History of English Drama, 1660-1900 lists thirty nine works by Mark Melford up to 1900. From 1912 onwards he also wrote, directed, and acted in many short silent films. (en) |
