Comments:
Mainpiece: Not acted these 7 years [acted 2 Jan. 1786]. ["In the review of any performance of this character it must be extremely difficult to command an abstraction from the remembrance of what Mrs Siddons was in it...This is not said to introduce any insinuation that the performance of Mrs Esten was an imitation of that of Mrs Siddons, but to excuse it if it was so...The performance was highly meritorious" (Gazetteer, 12 Feb.).] Receipts: #189 19s. (179.2; 10.17)
