The performance of $Mrs Yates= alone could have counteracted, for nine nights, its natural tendency towards damnation....A gentleman being asked, after one of the representations of this play, if he did not hiss it, replied "How could I? A Man can't hiss and yawn at the same time." (<i>Biographia Dramatica</i>.) [The advertisement to the 1771 edition thanks Mrs Yates, Bensley, $Wroughton=, "for their great good nature in undertaking their respective characters at the short notice of a week, when $Mr Ross= unexpectedly returned the part of <i>Anselmo</i>r, which had been in his possession above a fortnight." This circumstance, continues the advertisement oblig'd $Mr Bensley=, cast for <i>Palermo</i>r to undertake $Mr Savigny='s part, orginally <i>Granville</i>r, Savigny taking Anselmo, and Wroughton Palermo." The play was brought on anonymously to avoid political repercussions associated with the name of the author.]
