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. |

Further Information |
This final performance was a disaster and turned into a near riot. The pieces to be performed were not named - probably just as well!
