Ox., IV, 209. The play was certainly first acted not later than this month, because John Evelyn saw it on 14 Dec. 1671. For further details, see 14 Dec. 1671

Several actors are named in the text: Abraham Ivory (an old actor who possibly did not play in the work); William Wintershall; Joseph Haines, William Cartwright, and George? Shirley. John Littlewood (along with Joseph Haines) is referred to in a poem on the play--see16711214--as though he performed in it. William Wintershall; Joseph Haines, William Cartwright, and George?
