| Content Summary: | Dr Forbes Winslow congratulates Irving on the splended performance he witnessed the other evening. The study of Hamlet, the question of real or feigned madness has been frequently discussed by psychologists; the character as delineated by Irving was doubtless that intended by Shakespeare. The Ophelia of Miss Ellen Terry is one of the most perfect Dr Winslow has ever seen - the absence of all exaggeration in the mad scene and the quiet demeanour brings the acting like reality. It is difficult to feign madness as there is always over acting and exaggeration. The doctor is writing an article for the Medical Journal on the psychology of the performance but intends to see the performance two or three times before this. Forgive him for writing. | ||
