Notes |
- Charles Mayne Young (1777–1856), English actor, was the son of an eminent London surgeon. Young's first stage appearance was in Liverpool on 20 September 1798, as the character Young Norval (or the character Douglas according to some of his biographers) in Home's blank verse tragedy Douglas. Young's first London appearance was in 1807 as Hamlet with his friend Charles Mathews playing Polonius. "With the decline of John Philip Kemble, and until the coming of Kean and Macready, he was the leading English tragedian". He retired in 1832 in a farewell performance playing Hamlet with, as a special honour to him, Mathews as Polonius and Macready as the Ghost. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Mayne_Young
