Title	THE THEATRE
Abstract/Description	THE THEATRE On Monday night was produced, for the first time in this Colony, the Drama, in two acts, from the pen of George Almar, Esq. entitled "The Charcoal Burner, or the dropping Well of Knaresborough." The piece possesses but little interest, bringing together circumstances quite improbable in every day life ; and although we do not stand godfather to ourselves, and apply the sponsorial and patronymic appellation of "Judicious Critics," which some people have the effrontery to do, whose ideas of Theatricals might have been formed among romantic crags of barren rocks, peopled with the gatherers of sea weed for kelp â we can very easily discover that the Drama possesses no merit that can make it become a favorite with the play-going portion of the public.
