Elliston Returns in Ofavian at Haymarket
The town welcomed Mr Elliston with high praise on his Haymarket bow as Ofavian, showing promise despite immature judgment. Kemble’s contrasting performance in Octavian drew some praise and critique, while Elliston’s quick pace sometimes diminished impact. Both roles hint at further excellence with experience and advice. Covent August 15 1796.
