Raucous political theatre and royal satire in a late 18th century scene
A long comic political rant mocking ministers and bishops, the king and court, and a chaotic scene at Oxford University politics. It laments venal chancellors, bribes, and electoral manipulation, interwoven with notes on theatre politics, public opinion, and aristocratic excess.
Recovery of a Whimsical Drama and its Performers
A review of a theatre piece featuring Sir Patrick and Old Atall with Bates, praising Mrs Barry's acting and the dialogue likened to wit. It notes Dewd Dodd and Welton supporting two heavy roles, suggests Garrick as author, and commends an original Epilogue sung by Mrs Barry despite poor singing.
