Event Comment: Miss Younge having been a Season in
Ireland is now return'd play'd Well & was receiv'd with Great Applause (
Hopkins Diary).
Potter,
Theatrical Review: We must beg leave to point out a small error in her playing the part of
Imogen; and which was too obvious to escape notice: --When
Iachimo arrives from
Italy...he is introduc'd to her by
Pissanio who says..."Madam, a noble gentleman of
Rome comes from my Lord with letters." And Iachimo on his first appearance informs her, that "the worthy
Leonatus is in safety." These circumstances ought to awaken the highest joy and transport in Imogen, instead of which, we wer sorry to observe, she dropped a solemn curtsey, and without one joyous feature said, with the utmost langor, "Thanks good sir, &c." And even after she had read the letter...she addresses herself to him again with the same indifference. Rec'd
