Impudent servant in distressing Lear drama debate
The writer condemns a stage adaptation that turns a servant into a singing comic figure, praising Mr. Shuter for his role while lamenting the misdirection away from tender, noble scenes. Applause for Edgar’s counterfeited madness is noted, alongside opinions on Tate and Garrick in Lear and Barry's fitful performance.
