Mourning Bride at Drury Lane Panned for Bombast and Reg Clauses

A period critique of Congreve’s The Mourning Bride performed at Drury Lane on September 28, noting its pleasing story and strong sentiments but with excessive bombast and irregular unity of place in the final act. The cast faults include Mr Roadelf and Mrs Younge’s performances and preferred leads for Osmyn, Almeria, and the King. Also advertised is HARLEQUIN's INVASION, a pantomime previously staged since 2739, praised for wit and Shakespearean parody though with uneven staging.
