Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Macbeth Travestie This Travestie was written for the Olympic Theatre, New York, and was first played at that establishment on the 16th of October, 1843. It met with great success, having drawn crowded houses for several weeks. This success was undoubtedly owing, in a great measure, to the inimitable acting of Mr. Mitchell, who performed Macbeth in his own peculiar style - half tragic, half comic, half Macready, and half funny Mitchell. The vision of the wooden dagger, and the ludicrous horror with which Macbeth looks upon his bloody hands after the murder of Duncan, were points that (to use a technical phrase) told amazingly, and proved the manager to be also the true artist. He was ahmirably supported by his highly talented company, amongst which Mrs. Booth deserves honourable mention for her performance of Lady Macbeth. Throughout she ably maintained that comic gravity so essential to burlesque acting. The author of "Macbeth Travestie" lays no claim to any literary pretensions respecting the piece - his effort was merely to devote a few leisure hours to aid in developing the talents of the Olympic company, and thereby in a very small degree to be a contributor to the "laugh-and-grow-fat" stream which is continually flowing from that temple of Mirth.
