November 1664 @ no theater listed

Event Comment: On Herbert's list (Dramatic Records, p. 138) appears at the end Eluira [Elvira] which is characterised as "the last" of the sequence which begins with Floras Figarys on 3 Nov. 1663. As Henry V, The Generall, Parsons Wedding, and Macbeth were acted after that date-Macbeth on 5 Nov. 1664--it is possible that Elvira; or, The Worst Not Always True may have appeared in late November. Langbaine (English Dramatick Poets, p. 530) attributes it to Lord Digby
