The Henry the Sixth Interlude at Oxuguric Theatne
The review notes Bolton’s staged extract from Henry the Sixth featuring Jack Cade and the Kentish rebels as a chaotic dramatic interlude. Critics fault poor diction and weak direction by Mr Maynard while admiring Mr H Lee’s Lord Say and Mr Archer’s Sir Kent lines. Venice Preserved at Sapren’s Wells stages Miss Laura Addison in a poignant Deidara with Creswick as Pierre, while other leads earn mixed marks and the audience fill the house.
