About George Bland
George Bland was an Irish stage actor and singer. He was the son of the actor Francis Bland and the actress Grace Phillips and he was the brother of Dorothea Jordan. Abandoning planned studies at Oxford University he appeared as an actor in the provinces, and was on the payroll at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in London in 1786 but appeared in no known roles. While his sister lobbied the Drury Lane management to give him permanent employment he continued to act in the North of England in Leeds and Liverpool. He was finally hired in 1790 and became a member of the Drury Lane company until 1795, also appearing at the Haymarket in the summer.
