Westminster Play - Scene from the "Andria" of Terence, 1850. '...performance of a Latin Play at Christmas by the scholars of Westminster [School]...a most spirited and successful enactment. Mr. Blagden (the captain of the school), as Davus, acted with a subtlety and energy which satisfactorily attested his correct appreciation of the salient points in the character of the slave, with whom deceit is second nature, and whose natural fertility of invention has been made inexhaustible by oppression: the performance was marked by great propriety of declamation, and a considerable infusion of genuine histrionic fire. Mr. Armitstead's Pamphilus had many points of excellence, especially in the tender passages. His indignant repudiation of Mysis's apprehension that he might prove unfaithful, was very striking...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
