Comments:
[The playbill retains Mrs Crouch, but "The indisposition of Mrs Crouch was an abatement, for which, though an apology was made, nothing could atone. Miss Dall was her substitute. Captivity was sung by Incledon, 'being his first appearance in the character of Marie? Antoinette'" (Thespian Magazine, Apr. 1793, p. 247).] MS annotation on BM playbill (cg, Vol. VIII), 2 Mar.: "Rec'd 5 nights Oratorio Rent #262 10s. [i.e. #52 12s. a night].
