Event Comment: MMacklin has built two magnificent Rooms, ground floor [one] for Coffee,
the o
ther a [meeting] Room (
Winston MS 8). [
The Tuner pub. at 1s. by
Dr Hiffernan. Fifty-three pages touching on
theatre in general but particularly on
Boadicia.
There is no plot in
the play...
Boadicia is a monster well deserving what she suffers;
therefore is nei
ther an object of Terror or Compassion: but of Detestation. Sh deserts us in
the third act...Tender-hearted
Venusia is introduc'd to be whined to death...
There is scarce any sentiment throughout; no moral to be deduced...
the Diction...favors more of
the level, languid, and underepic, than of
the vigorous marrowy, tragic style...Never was Author more oblig'd to Performers,
they acted to
the full amount of his meaning;
the Matter often fail'd
Mr Garrick's continued and vigorous exertion."] Receipts: #180 (
