Tragedy at Covent Garden Fell Flat on Saturday
A review of Pumips's The Tragedy of the Differed Mother at Covent Garden criticizes the declamatory French style over English action. Performers drawn from Mr Houlman's motley troupe produce an uneven display with exaggerated mannerisms and dull, prosaic moments. Hermione and Pyrrhus receive mixed treatment, while Mrs Pope and Miss Artinell fail to deliver the required majesty and ardent emotion. The critic deems the London production lacking vitality and coherence.
