Herne - Wikipedia .html text/html 1035 136 72 Herne (born James Ahearn, February 1, 1839 – June 2, 1901) was an American playwright and actor.[1] He is considered by some critics to be the "American Ibsen", and his controversial play Margaret Fleming is often credited with having begun modern drama in America. Herne was born February 1, 1839, in Cohoes, New York.[1] His parents were poor Irish immigrants who removed him from school at age thirteen to work in a brush factory. Herne managed the Grand Opera House at 23rd and 8th Avenue in New York City for a season. Herne died at his home, 79 Convent Avenue, in Manhattan, New York City on June 2, 1901, at 5:00 pm of pneumonia.
