Critique of Covent Garden Octavian by Hargrave in Mountaineers
A London review condemns Hargrave’s Octavian for uneven modulation and backstage delivery. It laments miscasting, suggests alternative actors for roles, and questions the overall efficiency of the theatre cast and performance. The piece notes the 18th century staging and praises few elements amid broader disappointment.
