AbstractHistoryArchive Description
This column describes theatrical life in Sydney, New South Wales, in January 1838. Joseph Wyatt is about to open 'the new Theatre on Monday, the 19th February.' Wyatt's Victoria Theatre did not open until March 1838. The column also comments on John Lazar's Theatre Royal season with damning comments on the performance of Fire and Water, or, A Critical Hour : An Operetta. Overuse of the prompter by one of the performers in Fire and Water reminds the author (William Kerr?) of early colonial actresses Eliza Winstanley and Mrs Larra.
