Caricature of Augustus Harris and Henry Pettitt
Caricature of Augustus Harris (1852-1896), British actor, dramatist and impresario, and Henry Alfred Pettitt (1848-1893), British actor and dramatist -- Never mind, Pettitt, if the newspapers don t like our railway collision, the Pit and Gallery do. Their new sensational melodrama, Pluck, was in production at Drury Lane Theatre, London. Despite the excitement of a train wreck, a snowstorm, a mob breaking windows and a burning building, the seven long acts and waits between scenes had irritated the critics.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the dynamic duo of British theatre, Augustus Harris and Henry Alfred Pettitt, in the midst of producing their latest sensation at Drury Lane Theatre in London during the 1880s. The pair, known for their innovative and spectacle-filled melodramas, were not deterred by the negative criticism from newspapers regarding their new production, "Pluck." Despite the challenges of a railway collision, a snowstorm, a mob breaking windows, and a burning building, the seven long acts and waits between scenes were enough to irritate the critics. However, undeterred by the press, Harris and Pettitt continued to push the boundaries of theatrical entertainment, delivering an exhilarating experience that left audiences clamoring for more. With their unwavering commitment to delivering sensational and captivating productions, the pair continued to captivate Victorian audiences and solidify their place in the annals of British theatre history.
