In a letter to a newspaper DRAMATICUS appeals for public advocacy after a manager delays his winter premiere. He thanks Mr Monitor for urging fair treatment of authors and actors and promises to publicly defend the play’s merit if the promotion falters.
The author criticizes modern management at Drury Lane for despotism and neglect of authors and players. He contrasts it with the gentler, public-oriented era of Cibber and Booth, condemns Neroesque control, and denounces Mr. Roscius for mimicking performers to ruin reputations, citing Delano and Ryan as harmed by such comedy.
