Notes
General notes
According to Jim Davis in John Liston Comedian, Liston had success in the role of Pompey. "Hazlitt, who saw him play the part in 1816, commented: 'We cannot say that the Clown Pompey suffered in the hands of Mr. Liston; on the contrary, he played it inimitably well. His manner of saying "a dish of some three-pence" was worth anything. In the scene of his examination before the Justice, he delayed and dallied, and dangled in his answers, in the true spirit of the genius of his author.'" Title supplied by cataloger
