A most unfortunate happening. The upside is that once again that much of the so called press proved the worst of what has been said about them. Most unprofessional and biased. I would take a chance and put myself in Smollett's shoes.

Imagine having a chance with a new show. All the dreams of some sort of fame and income. Then he becomes an unemployed actor. Rejection in my own experience is one of the cruelest things that can happen.

Ok I just had to work this in. Me being an amateur genealogist and book reader. Smollett. A rare name. Scottish in origin. Famed author Tobias Smollett 1721-1771. A surgeon and satirist. Born in Scotland. wrote this book.

The Expedition of Humphry Clinker. 1771.

Interesting, a satirist no less...
