Zoraida at Theatre B Royal Drury Lane Anew

A notable new tragedy titled Zoraida patronizes Theatre B Royal Drury Lane with stars such as Mrs Yates and Mr Yates. The plot centers on Selim conquering Almamon in Egypt and Zoraida’s engagement to Selim while Osmond plots revolt. Almamon later saves Zoraida from self destruction, revealing she is Selim’s sister, enabling a union with Almamon. The reviewer calls the prose bloated and the invention weak though the moral themes stand.
