Tne date of the first performance is not known, but the <i>Gentleman's Journal</i>, March 1692 (licensed 9 March 1691@2), refers to its having already been produced. See also a letter concerning it dated 19 Jan. 1691@2. Probably the play was given in early February 1692. A song, <i>How long must women wish in vain</i>, the music by $Robert King=, is in <i>Comes Amoris</i>, The Fourth Book, 1693. <i>Gentleman's Journal</i>, March 1692: We have had lately a new Play, called, <i>The Innocent Impostors</i>. It hath been acted four times. $Mr Shadwell= <i>Poet-Laureat</i>, usher'd it into the Stage. It is said that the Author of it is not one of the Laity; therefore since he desires not to be known, I shall not presume to let you know his Name, tho the Play being Historical, and altogether of the Tragick kind, and withal treated with all the decency imaginable, can never be inglorious to its ingenious Author.
