About this book
The Covent Garden Theatre, or Pasquin Turn'd Drawcansir, is by Charles Macklin. An introduction says that such farces as The Covent Garden Theatre will have to stand as an example of one genre of eighteenth-century theatrical productions. An introduction says Charles Macklin is remembered as an actor for his Scottish dress in the role of Macbeth and for his realistic portrayal of Shylock.
An introduction mentions that Macklin lost books and manuscripts in a shipwreck in 1771. A character marked Dia. turns to Pasquin and gives a hint, as he intends to Satyrize the vicious & the ridiculous, that may be useful to him. A character marked Hyd. says Look, look, if the impudent Rogue is not taking the Old Maid Off to her face.
