- Abstract
-
"The Bishop of Durham strides across the footlights on to the stage, his left foot on the shoulder of one of the orchestra below. He wears a mitre and holds his crosier in both hands, as if to attack four danseuses holding garlands of roses who pirouette derisively. He says: "Avaunt the Satan, I fear the not assume whatever shape or form thou wilt I am determined to lay the thou black Fiend." The heads of some of the orchestra appear behind his left leg. A profile head on the extreme left says "Thats right down with them". Against the wall (left) are a carved satyr and a playbill: 'The Divil of a Lover - Hes much tlame' [to blame] and 'Peeping Tom' (by O'Keefe, 1784). The first was a musical farce played once only on 17 Mar. 1798, the second was first played on 13 Feb. 1798. Genest, vii. 360, 361."--British Museum online catalogue
