Légende

Scene from "Cat's Castle", at the Adelphi Theatre, 1844. London stage production of a pantomime '...called Cat's Castle; or, Harlequin and the King of the Rats,", from the pen of Mr. [William B.] Buckstone'. It '...purports to be "founded upon a categorical and doggrei poem, written by a Laureate, who invoked the Mews of the middle ages" ...A number of allusions to passing events are introduced in the Pantomime, as well as the topics of the past year'. However, 'The tricks were old, and scarcely brought a laugh; and the audience appeared as dull as if witnessing a tragedy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V.
