by the 19th century, fawkes and the gunpowder plot had begun to be used as the basis for pantomimes. one early example is "harlequin and guy fawkes: or, the 5th of november", which was performed at the theatre royal, covent garden, on 16 november 1835. after the plot is discovered, fawkes changes into harlequin and robert catesby, the leader of the plot, into pantaloon, following which "pure pantomime begins". fawkes also features in the pantomime "guy fawkes, or a match for a king", written by albert smith and william hale and first performed in 1855. the opening scene shows an argument between catesby and fawkes over the fate of lord monteagle, the man who raised the alarm after receiving an anonymous letter warning him not to attend parliament on 5 november 1605. catesby wants to save his friend monteagle, but fawkes, who regards him as an enemy, wants him blown up with the rest of the aristocracy. the two fight, at first with "doubtful" swords and then with bladders, before fawkes is "done". the remainder of the pantomime consists of clowns acting out various comic scenes unrelated to the gunpowder plot.
