Cardinal Beaton (play)

Cardinal Beaton; A Drama, in Five Acts (1823) is an historical drama by William Tennant based on the life of David Beaton. It was not received well.

Tennant wrote another unsuccessful play after this, and then retired from stagewriting:

David Macbeth Moir in Sketches of the Poetical Literature of the Past Half-Century described Beaton as "ineffective as a drama, but abounding in passages of high merit and interest".
