George Grossmith

    9 dicembre 1847 – 1 marzo 1912

    George Grossmith fu un poliedrico artista inglese, rinomato per i suoi talenti comici come scrittore, compositore, attore e cantante. È celebrato principalmente per aver originato una serie di personaggi iconici nelle opere comiche di Gilbert e Sullivan, affermandosi come una figura chiave del teatro musicale. Oltre al suo lavoro teatrale, Grossmith fu anche un intrattenitore solista di grande successo, noto per aver eseguito i propri sketch e le proprie canzoni umoristiche, che consolidarono il suo status di principale interprete britannico. I suoi contributi letterari si estesero a un notevole romanzo satirico, dimostrando la sua versatile voce artistica e il suo duraturo fascino.
