Theatre War and Public Scrutiny Amid Covent Garden Feuds
The piece critiques rival patentees at Covent Garden and compares their public battles to a staged power struggle. It notes managers Lacy plus his partner, exposes alleged artifices, and previews Colman and Powell’s forthcoming account while urging impartial judgment by the Town. It also questions silent endorsements and hypocritical public statements amid theatrical squabbles.
