	[No title]
		Woffington's intentions toward him, interest had at present nothing to do with them; indeed it was made clear that even were she to surrender her liberty to him, it would only be as a princess, forging golden chains for herself with her own royal hand.
		Woffington, however, was not to be persuaded, she excused herself on the score of a duty which she said she had to perform, and whispering as she passed Pomander, "Keep your own counsel," she went out rather precipitately.
		Woffington's lover called him to serious account--finding it was not her intention to make mischief, and not choosing to publish his own defeat, dropped quietly into his old line, and determined to keep the lovers in sight, and play for revenge.

		The first of his novels, Peg Woffington (1853), was of this lighter kind; it was made, on the advice of his life-long friend Laura Seymour, our of one of his few successful plays, Masks and Faces (1852).
		Reade spent an inordinate amount both of mental energy and of his fortune upon the stage; he wrote in a period of staginess and melodrama and easily succumbed to the taste of the time.
		A scene of crude theatricality which mars the play Masks and Faces recurs in the novel Peg Woffington; but, apart from that scene, both make skilful use of an old theme, the mingled glamour and pathos in the double life of the stage queen.

	Reade v. Bentley 2
		On the 20th February 1857, the Plaintiff, finding that the Defendant had advertised the publication of a second edition of "Peg Woffington," filed his bill for an injunction to restrain the publication of the advertised edition of that work, and obtained an interim injunction which, on the 5th of March 1857, he moved to continue.
		But inasmuch as it appeared that the interim injunction had been obtained against the Defendant after he had incurred the expense of putting the new edition in type, and issuing advertisements, the Vice-Chancellor held that the Plaintiff was not in a position, so far as regarded that edition, to ask the Court to interfere.
		That set out in the bill relates to "Peg Woffington." It is very short; but, as I observed upon the occasion of the former suit, it is so worded as to make it very difficult to determine with certainty what was the intention of the parties at the time when it was concluded.

	theatreguidelondon - masks & faces - 2004
		Set in the theatrical world of the early 18th century, the play mixes historical figures such as actors Colley Cibber and Peg Woffington with fictional but quite likely theatrical hangers-on - a pair of acerbic critics, some stage door Johnnies, an impoverished would-be playwright and the like.
		The play is built around Peg Woffington, presented as a cool manipulator and exploiter of her many male followers who surprisingly exposes a heart of gold when she is kind to the starving writer and send one of her admirers back to his loving wife.
		Thus scenes of her sparring wittily with fellow performers or a lecherous fop alternate with the more serious moments that advance the plot, and the director has chosen just to ignore any clashes in tone and play every scene with full commitment to either its brittle artificiality or its open sentimentality.

	The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - Masks and Faces (Finborough Theatre)
		The acting folk include some of the most famous of their day, in particular Peg Woffington and Colley Cibber, and while the plot hardly deserves to win awards it is rather fun.
		The day is saved partly by a series of unlikely theatrical devices and also because the hard-edged Miss Woffington has been generous to Triplet (Jonathan Lisle), a starving playwright.
		The two exceptions are Charlotte Pyke who offers a very wry, sympathetic performance as Peg Woffington, and Asa Joel who does well as the philandering Vane.

	A Laughing Matter, a CurtainUp London review
		All the great theatrical characters are there, the first great Shylock, Charles Macklin (Nigel Cooke, the notorious Mrs Cibber (Bella Merlin) and "breeches" actress, Peg Woffington (Monica Dolan).
		A Laughing Matter is clever and full of wit, but with enough physical comedy for it not to be just word driven.
		They are too busy chewing." I liked Monica Dolan's feisty Peg Woffington, mistress to a younger Garrick who resents sharing her with other "patrons".
