| Content Summary: |
Thanks for an excellent evening, with Stanley enjoyable on Livingstone and then on himself. Burnand wants to go again to 'Much Ado' as soon as he can. He supposes many others have suggested Malvolio to Irving but thinks casting the twins might be a difficulty. He lists the cast he saw in [Charles] Kean's production: Mrs Kean and Cathcart, not Rowley, as the twins; Sir Andrew &c were Keeley, Addison & Alfred Wigan, with Mrs Keeley and later Mrs Wigan as Maria. Meadows as Malvolio was a mistake. |

Irving produced 'Twelfth Night' in July 1884, but it was not regarded as a success. |
