I'm always amused by mentions of Mr Kean's various troubles, and there are so many other interesting people mentioned on the playbills.
Someone shared http://access.bl.uk/item/viewer/ark:/81055/vdc_100022589298.0x000002#?cv=1 and asked, 'Mr Smollett is listed as one of the actors. Any chance he's related to Tobias Smollett's family?' - what do you think?
