Comments:
The King's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@141, p. 359. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 346. There is no certainty that this is the first performance, but a performance of Part II on 18 Jan. 1676@7 and a reference to both parts in a letter dated 19 Jan. 1676@7 suggest that the premiere must have occurred early in January
