Event Comment: By Permission [of the Lord Chamberlain]. Benefit for Digges. The Doors to be opened at 5:30. To begin at 6:30. Morning Post, 7 Oct.: Digges, far advanced in the autumn of his life, wanted that fire which is so indispensable to Macheath. His dress was beyond measure ridiculous, and his songs...discordant and tedious. [His 1st appearance as Macheath was at Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin, 10 Oct. 1752.
