Anthony Aston (died 1731) was an English actor and dramatist. LifeHe began to be known on the London stage in the early years of the 18th century. He had tried the law and other professions, which he finally abandoned for the theatre. He had some success as a dramatic author, writing Love in a Hurry (performed in Dublin about 1709) and Pastora, or the Coy Shepherdess, an opera in 1712. For many years he toured the English provinces with his wife and son, producing pieces which he himself wrote, or medleys from various plays fitted together with songs and dialogues of his own.[1] Aston wrote a A Brief Supplement to Colley Cibbey, Esq, somewhat in the manner of Colley Cibber's famous work. The 24-page pamphlet contains interesting comments on Betterton, Mrs. Bracegirdle, Underhill, Doggett, and a few others.{{sfn|Cook|1885}}[2] References1. ^{{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Aston, Anthony|volume=2|page=793}} 2. ^{{cite book|author=Nicholson, Watson|title=Anthony Aston, stroller and adventurer|year=1920|location=South Haven, Michigan|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MAM1AAAAMAAJ}}
