August 1663 @ Lincoln's Inn Fields

Event Comment: Nethercot (Davenant,pp. 337-78) believes that this play was brought out in the late summer of 1663.

In Act V is a farce relating to Pompey; as Langbaine (English Dramatick Poets, p. 405) states: Pompey, a Tragedy, which I have seen acted with great Applause, at the Duke's Theatre, and at the End was acted that Farce printed in the fifth Act of The Play-house to be Let. [See also June 1663.
