Thornthwaite: A Journey through Theatrical Characters Step into the world of Thornthwaite, where talented actors and actresses brought iconic characters to life on stage. From the regal portrayal of Mary Queen of Scots by Mrs. Hartley in 1777, to Mrs. Ann Barry's captivating performance as Sophonisba in James Thomson's play, each character left a lasting impression. In David Mallet's Elvira, it was Mrs. Elizabeth Hartley who mesmerized audiences with her portrayal of the enigmatic Elvira. Meanwhile, Mrs. Frances Abington stole the show as the cunning Mrs. Margery Pinchwife in William Wycherley's The Country Wife at Drury Lane Theatre in 1767. Not to be outdone, Mrs. Mary Ann Wrighten captured hearts as Madge or Margery in Isaac Bickerstaff's Love in a Village at Drury Lane Theatre in 1775. Her performance resonated with audiences long after the final curtain fell. Amongst this talented cast was Mr. James William Dodd, who embodied Lord Foppington flawlessly in Colley Cibber's The Careless Husband at Drury Lane Theatre back in 1767. Mr. William Parsons took center stage as Periwinkle in Susannah Centlivre's A Bold Stroke for a Wife at Covent Garden Theatre in 1762 – his comedic timing leaving spectators roaring with laughter. The versatile Mr. David Ross showcased his skills as Essex in Henry Jones' The Earl of Essex at Drury Lane Theatre way back in 1752 – an unforgettable performance that etched itself into theatrical history. Miss Elizabeth Younge captivated audiences with her portrayal of Zara from William Congreve’s The Mourning Bride – a role that showcased her immense talent and range on stage. Mrs Isabella Mattocks wowed crowds as Elvira once again but this time in John Dryden's The Spanish Flyer.
