Afterpiece Title: Harlequin and Oberon

Cast
Role: Oberon Actor: Miss Gray
Event Comment: [This was Mrs Pope's last appearance on the stage. She dies on 15 Mar. 1797. "Her talents...were of the first order. She studied no model; she played from her own understanding and feeling. Perhaps her chief forte was comedy. Her elegance, her playfulness, her understanding had here fuller scope" (Monthly Mirror, Mar. 1797, p.200). "There is a certain peculiarity in her action which I never could reconcile to my notions of grace and propriety, viz. a constant outstretching of the arms at the close of a sentimental or a declamatory speech, accompanied with a lowly inclination of the head, like that of the oriental sage when he pays reverence to his prophet" (ibid, p. 170).] Receipts: #431 5s. 6d.
