Freakish shows end in tragic careers from one night Othello riot
The New York Sun recounts sixteen freak productions from the 1860s to early 1900s. Henry Wolfsohn paid $1,000 to play Othello at Niblo's Garden and inspired a near riot. Gabel staged Genevieve as a travesty drawing swift laughter and a nearly empty house. Maurice Grau benefited from a botched La Grande Duchesse number. George Rignold starred in Henry V while six amateurs played Juliet including Marie Wainwright, whose career began after the fiasco.
