Background

Source: Wikipedia

Theophilus Cibber (25 or 26 November 1703 – October 1758) was an English actor, playwright, writer, and son of the actor-manager Colley Cibber. He began acting at an early age, and followed his father into theatrical management. In 1727, Alexander Pope satirised Theophilus Cibber in his Dunciad as a youth who "thrusts his person full into your face" (III 132).
