This popular and influential English actor ruled the London stage with his interpretations of Shakespeare and other tragedies from the teens through the 1840s, touring America successfully as well. Third-person ANS, 1p + integral address leaf, 4½" X 7¼", Covent Garden Theatre, London, 20 November n.y. Addressed to "Woolf Esq. / 153. Drury Lane." Very good. Mildly age toned and lightly soiled. "Mr. Macready presents his Compts. to Mr. Woolf -- would be very happy to see him for a few minutes conversation either this evening after ten o'Clock or tomorrow morning. Red wax seal on integral address portion bears "Royal Covent Garden Theatre" imprint. This theatre was the site of Macready's first London appearance as Orestes in a production of Racine's "The Distressed Mother" in September 1816 -- but the 1836 watermark on this sheet likely dates this letter to 1838-39, when he served as manager of this theatre. A handsome example.
