An early playbill for the 1826 run of Isaac Pocock's (1782-1835) operatic drama Rob Roy MacGregor, first performed in Covent Garden on the 12th March, 1818. Based on the Scottish folk hero of the same name and adapted from Sir Walter Scott's 1818 Waverley Novel Rob Roy, the title role would be played by acclaimed English stage actor William Charles Macready (1793-1873). Pocock would go on to adapt further Waverley novels for the stage, although less successfully, including Montrose, or the Children of the Mist (1822), and Woodstock (1826).
