Buckstone, John Baldwin (1802–79), English actor and dramatist, who made his first appearance in the famous melodrama
The Dog of Montargis in a barn in Peckham. In 1827 he was seen at the
Adelphi in his own play
Luke the Labourer. He was for many years manager of the
Haymarket Theatre where most of his plays were given; he is said to haunt the building. Among his many melodramas and farces the best known are
Married Life (1834),
Single Life (1839),
The Green Bushes; or,
A Hundred Years Ago (1845), and
The Flowers of the Forest (1847). He was a popular comedian of great breadth and humour; the mere sound of his voice heard off-stage, a mixture of chuckle and drawl, was enough to set an audience laughing.
