Revival of Bonduca at Hay-Market Theatre 1747 review
The Hay-Market revived Beaumont and Fletcher’s Bonduca, edited by George Powell, with Miss Sherry and Mrs Maffey as Bonduca. The plot, drawn from Tacitus, follows Boadicea’s defeat by Suetonius in Britain. Critical highlights praise the audience reaction to the chorus and warlike spirit, while noting Colman’s modernization and varying actor performance.
