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
