Review of Covent Garden Shylock cast in 1796
A critique noting Mr. Murray’s Shylock divergent yet engaging performance, with Mrs. Pope and Mr. Pope as Baffanio and Portia delivering solid work. Knight and Quick amuse, Macready’s Anthonie decent but Holman could improve, and Hull’s absence questioned. Bagatelle in the Poor Soldier shows Murray’s versatility. dated October 3, 1796.
