What reading level is Woffington : a Tribute to the Actress And the Woman book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Saxon oppressor, while her brothers and sisters in all parts ot Ireland lacked the common necessaries of existence. Party-feeling ran so high that threats began to be made by the populace against Sheridan and his theatre.
The manager, having the Court on his side, laughed at these mutterings.
In January, 1754, he rehearsed the tragedy of "Mahomet" and announced an early evening for its production. The selection of this drama was an -untimely one. It contained many passages that were likely to i...nflame the anger of the mob, already irritated enough. Sheridan received warning that the per- formance of this play would lead to the gravest consequences, but he negledted the counsel of his wiser friends and produced the piece at die promised time.
In this action Mr. Sheridan does not appear to have been actuated by any considerations of party spirit. " Mahomet " had been selected for production long before popular discontent had attained its present importance. He was simply following the programme of plays that had been laid out for his theatre, and he had received enough tokens of esteem from the public to tempt him into a belief that nothing further than a protest would be raised by the performance.
