Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Merry Wives Of Windsor

November 1670 @ Lincoln's Inn Fields

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. This performance is on the L. C. lists at Harvard, but the entry does not specify the day. See VanLennep, "Plays on the English Stage", p. 16. The play was not published until 1706, and the cast in an edition of that year represents one for performances nearer the date of publication. There is no indication of the date of the premiere

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Amorous Widow; Or, The Wanton Wife

12 January 1675 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: The King's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@141, p. 116. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 345. There is some uncertainty as to whether this is the premiere, but another performance on 15 Jan. 1674@5 and its entry in the Stationers' Register 13 Jan. 1674@5 suggest that this was probably the first performance

August 1676 @ Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. The date of the premiere is not known, but the large proportion of minor actors and the licensing for printing on 4 Nov. 1676 suggest a production in the late summer or early autumn

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Tom Essence; Or, The Modish Wife

595
September 1679 @ Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. There is no certainty as to the date of the first production; but as this play was entered in the Term Catalogues November 1679, it was certainly first acted by October 1679, possibly in September 1679. A musical number, The Loyal Protestant, the music by Thomas Farmer, is in Choice Ayres and Songs, The Third Book, 1681

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Virtuous Wife; Or, Good Luck At Last

Performance Comment: Edition of 1680: Prologue-Mrs Barrer [and Tony Leigh]; Epilogue-Mr Nokes [representing my Lady Beardly; Beverly-Harris; Beauford-Smith; Sir Frolack Whimsey-Jevon; Sir Lubbery Widgeon-Lee; Brainworm-[no one listed for this role, but Cave Underhill seems a likely actor for it]; Amble-Underhill [perhaps Underhill was erroneously listed for this instead of Brainworm]; Crotchett-Bowman; Olivia-Mrs Barrer; Lady Beardly-Nokes; Jenny Wheedle-Mrs Currer; Lidia-Mrs Seymour; Tissick-Mrs Norrice.

06 March 1686 @ Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The United Company. Peregrine Bertie to the Countess of Rutland, 6 March 1685@6: To day is acted Jevarns' new farse; Thursday was the first day. I must confess it is the strangest thinge I ever saw; 'twas mighty full the last time, and to day there is noe getting in (HMC, 12th Report, Appendix, Rutland MSS., Part V, Vol. II, p. 106). [Since Friday 5 March was a Friday in Lent, it is possible that the farce was not given on that day.

18 December 1699 @ Lincoln's Inn Fields

Event Comment: Betterton's Company. It is not certain that this play was given at this time, but Vanbrugh, writing on 25 Dec. 1699, states that Thomas Dogget, who had been acting in Norwich, was in London "last Week," and acted six times, presumably on 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 Dec. 1699. The Amorous Widow is a likely play for this week, as Barnaby Brittle was one of Dogget's best roles. In addition, the Inner Temple, which usually requested popular plays, selected it for its revels on 3 Feb. 1699@1700. Nearly all the individuals in the cast in the 1710 edition acted in London during this season, with two exceptions: Fieldhouse and Mrs Hunt. Their roles may have been played by them or by other performers if they were not in the company at this time. I owe the suggestion that this was the play in which Dogget appeared to Professor Lucyle Hook

March 1700 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: Rich's Company. The date of the premiere is not known, but the second edition (1700) states: The first appearance of this Play was on a Wednesday in Lent; for then (it seems) the Town look for a bad Entertainment. [As the play was advertised in the Flying Post, 2 April 1700, the first performance probably occurred in early March.] A Prologue by Sir Charles Sedley which may have been intended for this play is in Sedley's Works, ed. V. de Sola Pinto (London, 1928), I, 46-47, 288-89. A song in this play, separately printed ca. 1700, indicates that the music was composed by Daniel Purcell and that the song was sung by Mrs Erwin
