The Critique states that "it is probable that the Farce will not be played in the Country, but
will certainly never be acted in Town; ... it will be received with Thunders of Cannon !!!
. . . The Piece may yet be put off on account of the Indisposition of the Principal Performer, Mr.
Buonaparte . . . his figure is very Diminutive, he Struts a great deal, seems to have no Conception
of his Character. . . . If he comes here, he will get an Engagement, though it is probable that he
will shortly after be reduced to the Situation of a Scene-Shifter. As for the Farce, . . . if played,
it will certainly be Damn'd."
