Comments:
The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: To the King's playhouse, and there,--in an upper box...did see The Moor of Venice: but ill-acted in most parts; Mohun, which did a little surprise me, not acting Iago's part by much so well as Clun used to do; nor another Hart's, which was Cassio's; nor, indeed, Burt doing the Moor's so well as I once thought he did
