*p1661 03 23 redbull All's Lost by Lust. see below.*c1661 03 23 redbull <i>Pepys, Diary</i>: And then out to the <i>red bull</i> (where I had not been since plays come up again)...where I was led by a seaman that knew me, but is here as a servant, up to the tireing-room, where strange the confusion and disorder that there is among them in fitting themselves, especially here, where the clothes are very poor, and the actors but common fellows. At last into the pitt, where I think there was not above ten more than myself, and not one hundred in the whole house. And the play, which is called <i>All's lost by Lust</i>, poorly done; and with so much disorder, among others, that in the musique-room the boy that was to sing a song, not singing it right, his master fell about his ears and beat him so, that it put the whole house in an uprore. $Nicoll= (<i>Restoration Drama</i>, p. 309) argues that $George Jolly= probably occupied the <i>red bull</i> in <i>St John's Street</i>, <i>Clerkenwell</i>. When $Richard Walden= saw the red bull players at <i>Oxford</i> in July 1661, $Anne Gibbs= acted <i>Dionysia</i>r in <i>All's Lost by Lust</i>. It is possible that she played that role on this day. See Walden's <i>Io Ruminans</i>, 1662.
