Notes by Buggins,
single work
prose
Buggins comments on a fight between patrons at the Prince of Wales Opera House during the previous week; those involved were members of the crew of the Charybdis and 'wearing her Majesty's uniform'.
Buggins reflects on the sometimes dubious practice of adapting works for the stage and then discusses the previous week's performances at the Prince of Wales Opera House: 'Sarah the Creole is not an interesting play' and both it and Raymond and Agnes are 'played too slowly'. 'Azael, or the Prodigal Son is in preparation' and 'new and very elaborate scenery has been painted for it'.
Buggins also mentions that he has 'paid a visit to the Scandinavian' and 'is bound to acknowledge that the performance was remarkably good, and the audience highly respectable'.
