Event Comment: [In mainpiece the playbill assigns Polonius to Wilson, but "Previous to the play an apology was made by Farren, for the absence of Wilson [see 2 Nov.], and requesting the Audience to accept of Munden in Polonius, which they chearfully assented to, and his performance justified their opinion" (Thespian Magazine, Dec. 1792, p. 153). "Hamlet is perfectly within the scope of [Holman's] powers; but his performance last night did not exhibit one discriminate feature of the character. He 'out Heroded Herod' throughout, with more than his usual perseverance. The praise of the evening rests with Munden, who laudably endeavoured to rescue Polonius from the buffoonery which has hitherto disgraced him" (Morning Herald, 6 Nov.).
