Comments:
This play is alter'd, that is all the Comedy is cut out, & is still 5 short Acts went off well-but heavy (Cross). Mainpiece: A Reviv'd Tragedy, alter'd from Southern. Receipts: #200 (Cross). [See Theatrical Review, 1757 and 1758, for comment: "The distress of the first three acts is exquisitely wrought, and withal naturally; but the Fourth seems to me to have little or no grounds, but in Isabella's diseased fancy, and romantic notion....As to the distress of the Fifth it is prodigious."
