The Duke's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@142, p. 81. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 348. The play has a musical setting by Jeremiah Clarke. There is no certainty that this date represents the premiere, but a certain performance on 14 Feb. 1676@7 suggests that this performance on 12 Feb. 1676@7 is part of the initial run. Very probably the play was repeated on 13 Feb. 1676@7
