Event Comment: The
Duke's Company, presumably.
Evelyn, Diary: This night was acted my
Lord Brahals Tragedy cal'd
Mustapha before
their Majesties &c: at Court: at which I was present, very seldom at any time, going to the publique Theaters, for Women now (& never 'til now) permitted to appeare & act, which inflaming severall young noble-men & gallants, became their whores, & to some their Wives, wittnesse the
Earle of Oxford,
Sir R. Howard,
Pr. Rupert, the
E. of Dorset, & another greater person than any of these, who fell into their snares, to the reproch of their noble families, & ruine both of body & Soule: I was invited to see this Tragedie, exceedingly well writ, by my
Lord Chamberlain, though in my mind, I did not approve of any such passe time, in a season of such Judgements & Calamitie.
Pepys, Diary: Here my
Lord Bruncker proffered to carry me and my wife into a play
at court to-night, and to lend me his coach home, which tempted me much; but I shall not do it
