Notes by Buggins
1868
single work
prose
— Appears in: The Freeman's Journal , 14 November vol. 19 no. 1336 1868; (p. 2)Buggins comments on the tableaux depicting St John's Apocalypse, on display at the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts, and mentions J. Sheridan Moore's lecture on the display's subject matter. Buggins offers the view that there was 'an awkwardness' in Moore's delivery and that he 'gave the impression of being afraid of giving offence to the audience'.
Buggins then discusses the preceding week's productions at the Prince of Wales Opera House: W. J. Lucas's The Man with the Iron Mask, Tom Taylor's Still Waters Run Deep and Charles Mathews' Little Toddlekins.
