Macbeth: Garrick and Mrs. Pritchard in Macbeth, London, Drury Lane Theatre, 1763.

Garrick's small stature is authentically represented here, as is his productions' normal use of eighteenth-century costumes unrelated to the scripts' settings. As for Mrs. Pritchard, she was unsurpassed in comic roles such as Rosalind and Beatrice, and was famous in scolding parts, so that many thought she excelled as a comedienne rather than a tragic actress, but she raised the roles of Gertrude and Lady Macbeth to grandeur, as well as Queen Katherine of Aragon, in which even Sarah Siddons did not outdo her.
