Works about this Work

Notes by Buggins Buggins , 1868 single work prose
— Appears in: The Freeman's Journal , 5 December vol. 19 no. 1339 1868; (p. 9)

Buggins comments on various items of current politics, religion and fashion, before turning to theatre matters. He notes a Surrey Theatre, Plymouth, production of 'that most abominable of all modern slang sensational pieces entitled Under the Gaslight' by John Augustin Daly, and writes in some depth about a production of The Rightful Heir by Edward Bulwer Lytton at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, London.

At the Prince of Wales Opera House, Buggins 'is sorry to record a continuation of very indifferent business' for the production of Joseph Stirling Coyne's Fraud and Its Victims. He then notes, 'with great pleasure', theatre manager William Dind's engagement of Tom Leopold as a clown, and states 'with very much satisfaction' that the 'celebrated composer and talented pianist, Mr. C. E. Horsley' will soon take a benefit at the Prince of Wales.
