Kean's London Run Fuels Theatre Row at Drury Lane
At Drury Lane Mr Kean again played Sir Giles Overland in A New Way to Pay Old Debts drawing crowded houses and lively clashes with dissenters. Orange peels and an orange were hurled near Miss Smithson as Kean faced calls of support, while Elliston sought to calm the audience. After a tense curtain, Kean addressed the crowd promising to concede to English taste, then withdrew as cheers filled the house.

Miss Foote Welcomed Amid Turbulent Covent Garden Night
At Covent Garden Theatre the debut of Miss Foote as Letitia Hardy amid the Bells e Stratagem drew an eager, crowded house. Boxes and slips overflowed despite high prices, a fierce push for admission led to minor injuries, and a placard reading Miss Foote for ever sparked loud cheers. Sir Hayne appeared in support, Mrs Gibbs aided Foote emotionally, and the audience alternated between cheers and controlled hissing as the performance unfolded in a tense, impassioned atmosphere.
