Barbarossa Tragedy at Covent Garden Receives Mixed Praise
Critic notes the Barbarossa tragedy by Dr Browne at Covent Garden shows well managed plot and strong character work but language lacks elegance and the piece is not original. Savigny shines as Selim, Beniley miscast, Clarke elevates Osman, Yates supports, Miller misreads Irene. The Intriguing Chambermaid a ballad farce by Henry Fielding follows with modest reception.
