Abstract:: "A stage scene showing part of an empty stage box on the extreme right. A burlesque of F. Reynolds's 'Werter', adapted from Goethe's romance. The persons and objects on the stage have letters referring to an 'Explanation' below the design. Werter ('A') kneels before Charlotte ('B'), who is seated on a settee on the extreme left; he raises her petticoat with a passionate gesture. At Werter's feet is an open book, 'Ossian' (which he has been reading to Charlotte); she protests with raised hands (pp. 35-6 of the 1802 edition). Behind (right), Albert ('C'), in regimentals, stands with his face to the wall, his hands clasped behind his back. Two pictures ('E E') hang on the wall representing scenes from the play. In one (left) Albert lies prone; Charlotte, seated beside him, raises her arms in despair; the other is suspended from one corner, hanging crookedly; it represents Charlotte and Albert embracing. In the front of the stage (right), her back to the actors, a nude woman ('F') is seated on a low step holding a pistol to each ear. She wears a hat tied under her chin and is weeping. Above her head is an urn inscribed 'Sacred to Suicide' and a weeping willow. Across the top of the design is a scroll 'H': "To raise the Genius and to mend the Heart"."--British Museum online catalogue and "'Werter', Reynolds's first play, was acted on 14 March 1786 at Covent Garden for Miss Brunton's benefit, having been already played at Bath; Holman played Werter, Farren played Albert. According to Baker, 'Biog. Dram.', it had little success in London. According to Reynolds, 'Werter's metropolitan, was equal, if not superior, to his rural success'. He describes the tears and fainting-fits of the first night at Covent Garden (perhaps responsible for the empty stage box).
