Pepys, Diary: Seeing that the Spanish Curate was acted to-day, I...home again and sent to young Mr Pen and his sister to go anon with my wife and I to the Theatre...we went by coach to the play, and there saw it well acted, and a good play it is, only Diego the Sexton did overdo his part too much.

26 May 1662 @ The Red Bull Theatre

Event Comment: Hotson (Commonwealth and Restoration Stage, pp. 178-79) believes that this was Jolly's organization. See also the list of Sir Edward Browne's attendance at plays in the introduction to this season. An edition of this play appeared in 1663, but the title page does not state at what theatre the play was given. Pepys, Diary: Thence to taken my wife to the redd bull, where we saw Doctor Faustus, but so wretchedly and poorly done, that we were sick of it, and the worse because by a former resolution it is to be the last play we are to see till Michaelmas

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Doctor Faustus

02 June 1662 @ Theatre in Vere Street

Event Comment: This play is in Herbert, Dramatic Records p. 118: Cornelia a New Play, sir W. Bartleys. The date in Herbert is 1 June, a Sunday in 1662, with another play in the same group falling on Sunday. Nevertheless, the verse comment (see below) written, apparently, before the summer of 1662 points toward 2 June 1662 rather than 1 June 1663. Edward Browne also lists it as one of the plays he attended. The play was not printed. BM Add. Mss. 34217, in Hotson, Commonwealth and Restoration Stage, p. 246: @For Cornelia they all doe say@There was abundance of witt in the play@Indeed t'had soe much t' was the worse for 't@For t' was to witty for the vulgar sort@And they who'd have poetts their Benefactors@Say witt without mony's naught for the Actors.
