04 March 1775 @ Covent Garden

Event Comment: [Mainpiece advertised this night with New Scenes, Dresses, and Decorations. The Public Advertiser in a column entitled Theatrical Intelligence reviews Cleonice at length, concluding: "On an improbable incident hinges the whole plot! The last Act is particularly unpleasing. Mr Barry is very aukwardly situated every Time he comes on, which seems to be merely to sermonize-Upon the whole, Cleonice appears to be that kind of play which deserves neither extravagant praise nor very severe censure. The Prologue commenced on the hacknied Subject of abusing Sentimental Comedy, and serv'd to deceive us by informing us, that we were to see an original Play. The Epilogue. was well imagined and happily express'd. It was most excellently deliver'd by Mrs Bulkley."
