Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Review The power of a man of talent to elicit amusement from the slightest and least promising materials, is strikingly displayed by this dramatic trifle. Few pieces are more destitute of novelty in every point of view. Plot there is none. The incidents are few and trivial; and the same characters have been exhibited in the same situations, in innumerable previous instances. Suspicious guardians, intriguing wards, and blundering servants, have composed the dramatis personae, of half the plays and farces produced during the last century; yet, they are here so pleasantly grouped, coloured with so happy an extravagance, and made to converse in language so pregnant with whim and drollery, that the "Review" has always been a decided favourite; and will long continue to excite the laughter of those careless mortals, who visit the theatre merely to be amused, without examining too curiously into the construction of the piece which calls forth their merriment. The vulgar Irishman of the modern stage, is a description of character, in depicting which the author of the "Review" remarkably excels. Looney Mactwolter is a rich specimen of this ability; and as the author was most happy in his delineation of the part, he was equally fortunate in having it sustained by so inimitable a performer as the original representative. The stoical gravity of the mind which can remain proof against the exquisite humour of Looney´s bulls and blunders, when played by Johnstone, is little to be coveted. The Yorkshireman, the Deputy, and the two pair of lovers, possess few shining characteristics; but the voluble Quotem must not be passed over in silence.
