Dramatic Crowds and Triumph for Macready at Princess Theatre

A Monday night crush at the Princess's Theatre in Oxford Street greeted Mr. Macready on his return from America. The packed house, with a chaotic passage and dense pit, witnessed an electric reception as bouquets waved and cheers erupted. Macready delivered a powerful Hamlet, praised for vigor, spontaneity, and nuanced command, with other cast members—Miss Jarman, Mr. Cooper, Miss Emma Stanley, Mr. Compton—also noted for solid performances. The second night featured Lear, with Macready’s portrayal acclaimed for its emotional depth and masterful handling of the king’s decline, while supporting roles earned respectable notices. The Lyceum offered The Last of the Bravos, Keeley in the lead, praised for lively plotting and engaging comedy despite its sanguine title.
