AICKIN, FRANCIS (d. 18o5) , Irish actor, first appeared in London in 1765 as Dick Amlet in Vanbrugh's The Confederacy at Drury
Lane . He acted there, and at Covent Garden , until 1792. His repertory consisted of over eighty characters, and among his best parts were the Ghost
Tyrant
His younger brother JAMES AICKIN (d. 1803) was playing leading parts in both comedy and tragedy at the Edinburgh theatre, when he gave offence to his public by his protest against the discharge of a fellow-actor. He therefore went to London, and from 1767 to 'Soo was' a member of the Drury
Lane Company
deputy manager. He quarrelled with John Philip Kemble, with whom, in 1792, he fought a bloodless duel.End of Article: AICKIN, FRANCIS (d. 18o5) If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
