| Content Summary: |
After seeing Irving that afternoon he writes to say how much he enjoyed 'Romeo and Juliet' from Baroness Burdett Coutts' box. From the critics he expected to be overpowered by the scenery, but the acting came first. Ellen Terry exceeded expectation and is right not to show more passion. Irving looks Florentine with his bushy hair, etc. The emotions roused prompt Sinclair to reveal a painful personal experience whilst a student at Oxford. Could an upward look or a moment or two of silence add dignity to Romeo? No reply is needed. |
