[In mainpiece the playbill retains Kemble as Hamlet, but for his "indisposition an apology was made, and the audience requested to accept of Wroughton in his place--a request...no sooner asked than had" (World, 4 Dec.).] The Country Girl and Richard Coeur de Lion [both advertised on playbill of 1 Dec.] are obliged to be deferred, on Account of the Indisposition of a principal Performer. Receipts: #105 19s. 6d. (83.2.0; 21.7.6; 1.10.0)
