Description The Theatre at Parramatta closed on Monday last, and a more disgraceful scene was never witnessed. The Players forgot their parts, and quarrelled amongst themselves. The audience, after
being kept waiting for some time became noisy and riotous and ultimately rushed on the stage, demolishing the scenes, &c.
