Sketches from "Claudian", the new piece at the Princess's Theatre, 1883. London stage production. 'The Curse of the Holy Clement [Mr. Willard]; Claudian Buys Serena [Miss Ormsby]as a Slave; The Earthquake; Claudian, a Roman Noble (Mr. Wilson Barrett); Rescue from the Earthquake... Claudian buys the Christian woman, Serena, when she is offered for sale as a slave, in spite of her husband, Theorus [Mr. Frank Cooper], the sculptor. She takes refuge in the cell of a hermit, the Holy Clement, who pronounces an awful curse upon Claudian for coming to drag her away. A hundred years pass over his head, but he cannot die, and he brings a curse on all who love him, on all whom he loves. Then comes the destruction of his palace by the earthquake. He is not killed even by this, but is finally allowed to choose a voluntary death, that he may release Almida [Miss Eastlake] and others from the effect of the curse.)...The superb production of "Claudian" by Mr. Wilson Barrett...is the most remarkable event of the dramatic year...Mr. Barrett [is] as good and sound an actor as the stage possesses, a man of intellect and fine feeling...Sir Julius Benedict has adorned the play with charming melodies...It is all but faultless'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
