Comments:
On this date William Hemmings' The Eunuch was licensed. The play was published in 1687, but there is no certainty that it was acted. The problem is made more complicated by the production of Sedley's Bellamira--see 12 May 1687-which was derived from Terence's The Eunuch. See the introductory note for the 1676-77 season for the possibility that The Eunuch was acted then
