23 October 1751

Event Information
Theatre: Drury Lane Theatre
Theatrical Season: 1751-1752
Volume: 4
Comments: Mainpiece: Acted but once these five years. Mr Dexter has given us in the character of Oroonoko the greatest first essay that perhaps any stage has produced. He has great feeling, and equal expression; a fine figure, a vast deal of grace in his deportment and uncommon tenderness in his manner, and a voice formed by nature for expressing it (Inspector No 201, in Daily Advertiser and Literary Gazette). Receipts: #140 (Cross)
