Sketches at King's College School Theatricals, 1881. '1. Characters in the Greek Play "Cyclops" 2. Scenes in the Greek Play: Cyclops hurling a Stone at his Enemies. 3. Characters in "La Grammaire" 4. Characters in "The Critic"...The Dean of Westminster presided on the 20th December at the distribution of prizes and recitations..., a long list of scholarships and other honours gained during the year being presented. Dr. Bradley having made an excellent speech - the platform was transformed into a stage, on which were performed several dramatic pieces, with appropriate costumes and decorations. The French play "La Grammaire" was acted by Seligman, Copland, Window, Warden, and Graham: the accent, elocution, and personation of Seligman called forth much applause. "Clarence's Dream," from "Richard III.," followed, which was effectively rendered by W. R. Sickert, an old boy [ie the painter Walter Sickert]. A humorous and spirited representation of the "Cyclops" of Euripides, the only Greek satiric drama extant, was received with much laughter; and the proceedings ended with a selection from Sheridan's "Critic," in which Puff, Sneer, and Dangle were played by three small boys'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
