Review: Signore Nicolini fights the lions, impersonated by three admirable actors. They are sham fights, of course. There are even people who say that Signor Nicolini and his lions share a pipe together after their fight on stage. Not unlike “what is practiced every day in Westminster Hall, where nothing is more usual than to see a couple of lawyers, who have been tearing each other to pieces in the court, embracing one another as soon as they are out of it.”
