Exits and Entrances
by Eva Moore
About the author
Best known on stage and later on screen, she also wrote Exits and Entrances (1923), a memoir drawn from decades in the theater. The book looks back on the parts she played, the productions she joined, and the people she met while building a career that lasted for many years.
Born in Brighton, England, she came from a theatrical family and became a familiar figure in British performance life. Alongside acting, she was also active in the women's suffrage movement, which adds another dimension to her story beyond the stage.
For listeners today, her writing offers more than celebrity reminiscence. It captures the rhythms of rehearsal, touring, and performance in a changing entertainment world, making her a vivid guide to an earlier age of British theater.
