Famous quotes containing the word theatrical:
““I am in the theatrical profession myself, my wife is in the theatrical profession, my children are in the theatrical profession. I had a dog that lived and died in it from a puppy; and my chaise-pony goes on, in Timour the Tartar.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
