16 January 1796 @ King's Theatre

Event Comment: "The Theatre was extremely crowded on Saturday night. Again the cruel practice of sticking up sentinels on the stage produced an accident. One of the poor fellows, exhausted the position [of] continuing so long motionless, fell down apparently dead, and was carried off. He fell almost at the foot of Mme Banti, on whom the shock was so instantaneous as to disable her for some minutes from proceeding. For this she was very becomingly hissed by some persons, who, if they knew the reason, did not betray much humanity on the occasion...We trust that this degrading and cruel practice of turning men into figures will be discontinued" (Morning Chronicle, 18 Jan.)
