Theatrical Intelligence: Plymouth Farce Ends with Happy Union
A review of a Plymouth Wednesday performance of a musical farce titled The Bordman, acted by Miss Neville of Plymouth and Efifé Serebe among others. The plot follows love, mistaken identity, and a press gang scene in which the lieutenant and Miss Neville are united after comic misunderstandings. Strong supporting turns from Mr Vernon and the sailors, with lively crowd scenes and farcical comedy throughout.
