Mainpiece Title: The Rehearsal

Performance Comment: Edition of 1672: Prologue-; Epilogue-. In spite of the fame of this work, the actors (with a few exceptions) associated with the principal roles are not known. Buckingham, however, taught John Lacy how to act Bayes in ridicule of John Dryden. According to A Key to the Rehearsal (1704), Anna Reeves acted Amaryllis. 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?

14 December 1671 @ The (first) Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: The King's Company. Evelyn, Diary: Whence to see the Duke of Buckingam's ridiculous farce & Rhapsody called the Recital, bouffoning all Plays yet prophane enough. In a collection of broadsides (Bodleian Wood 417) A Ballad (on Buckingham and his son) has some lines which apparently refer to a performance: @I confess the Dances were very well Writ, @And the Tune and the Time by Haynes as well Hit, @And Littlewood's Motion and Dress had much Wit: @But when his Poet John Bayes did appear, @'Tis known to more than half that were there, @The greatest part was his own Character.

April 1689 @ Drury Lane Theatre or Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The United Company. On 23 April 1689 Luttrell purchased a copy of the Prologue. The broadside copy, with Luttrell's date of acquisition, is in the possession of Mr Louis Silver, Wilmette, Illinois, to whose courtesy I am indebted for permission to use this date. When the Prologue, which is reprinted in Wiley, Rare Prologues and Epilogues, pp. 271-72, appeared in The Fourth and Last Volume of the Works of Mr Tho. Brown (1719), the Prologue has the title: Jo. Haines in Penance; Or, his Recantation-Prologue, at his acting of Poet Bays in the Duke of Buckingham's Play call'd The Rehearsal. Spoken in a white Sheet, with a burning Taper in his Hand, upon his Admittance in to the House after his Return from the Church of Rome. In the Preface to his play, The Fatal Mistake (1691-92), Haines stated: In troth I have Acted Mr Bays so often, and so feelingly, that I could not possibly forbear copying after so fair an Original
