22 March 1800 @ Covent Garden

Event Comment: "Sombre, saturnine, and soporific, instead of the mirthful, gay, and sprightly being pourtrayed by the author, [Holman's] countenance [as Comus] displayed the mechanical gravity of a parish clerk, or an assize judge, passing sentence of death on a sheep-stealer. Not a single smile relaxed the uniform austerity of his features, which seemed to impart their baneful influence to the whole confederate corps" (Dramatic Censor, I, 390-91). Receipts: #217 10s.

Event Comment: W. S. Clark (Works of Orrery, 1, 40-41) believes that this is Thomas Middleton's play, not one by Orrery. Henry Savile to George Savile: I am come newly from my Lord of Orrery's new play called The Widow, whose character you will receive from better hands. I will only say that one part of it is the humour of a man that has great need to go to the close stool, where there are such indecent postures as would never be suffered upon any stage but ours, which has quite turn'd the stomach of so squeamish a man as I am, that am used to see nothing upon a theatre that might not appear in the ruelle of a fine lady (Savile Correspondence, ed. W. D. Cooper, Camden Society, LXXI [1858], 4)
