Event Comment: [This was Henderson's last appearance on the stage. He died on 25 Nov. 1785. "He was the only performer, since the death of Mr Garrick, who could with any degree support the various characters of Shakespeare. His person approached the middle size, his voice was naturally thick, his judgment was strong, his attention great, and his sudden transition from one passion to another fully evinced his abilities; his chief excellence lay in strong colouring, in broken and abrupt speeches, especially in parts of tragic horror; his scale was so extensive that it included the extremes of Tragedy and Comedy" (Oulton, 1796, 1, 150-51).] Receipts: #258 6s.
