Event Comment: The
United Company. The
Prologue and
Epilogue are printed in
Miscellaneous Works, Written by His Grace, George, late Duke of Buckingham (
London, 1704), pp. 9-13. There is no certainty that
Buckingham wrote the adaptation itself, but, in view of his writing both the Prologue and Epilogue, it seems likely. The Epilogue alludes to
Shaftesbury, who had taken refuge in
Holland and who had died there on 21 Jan. 1682@3, suggesting that the play, if acted, was probably presented in February 1682@3 or soon thereafter. The adaptation was apparently never printed
