Event Comment: On this date John Rogers petitioned the King concerning his right to keep the peace at the playhouses. In Herbert, Dramatic Records, p. 84, three companies, those at the red bull, cockpit, and salisbury court, are named as currently performing

Performances

Event Comment: A draft of a proposed order, i Hotson, Commonwealth and Restoration Stage, p. 201, specifies the companies acting at this time: Forasmuch as wee are advertis'd, that divers persons, and Companies have assembled, and doe dayly assemble themselves together at the Play-Houses called the red bull, in St. Johns Street, the cockpit in Drury Lane, and a certaine Play-House in Salisbury Court, and at other places within our Citty of London and County of Middlesex, without the least Colour of Authority, and doe there act, performe and shew in publique, Comedies, Tragedies, and other Entertainments of the Stage

Performances

Event Comment: Pepys, Diary: We met with Mr Salisbury, who took Mr Creed and me to the cockpitt to see The Moore of Venice, which was well done. Burt acted the Moore; by the same token, a very pretty lady that sat by me, called out, to see Desdemona smothered. Possibly Clun acted Iago. Pepys (6 Feb. 1668@9) refers to his playing that role, and a reference to Clun as Iago appears in A Most Execrable Murther in A Little Ark, ed. G. Thorn-Drury, pp. 30-31. See also entry of 14 Aug. 1660

Event Comment: Possibly Davenant opened Salisbury Court on this date, but no certain evidence exists. (See Spencer, Shakespeare Improved, pp. 37-39; Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 300.)

Performances

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Pepys, Diary: To Blackfryars [presumably a slip for Whitefriars, Salisbury Court] (the first time I ever was there since plays begun), and there after great patience and little expectation, from so poor beginning, I saw three acts of The Mayd in ye Mill, acted to my great content. But it begin late, I left the play

Performances

Cast

Event Comment: The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: we went by water to Salisbury Court play-house, where not liking to sit, we went out again, and by coach to the Theatre, and there saw The Scornful Lady, now done by a woman, which makes the play appear much better than ever it did to me

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Scornful Lady

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Pepys, Diary: And so to Salisbury Court, where the house as full as could be; and it seems it was a new play, The Queen's Maske, wherein there are some good humours: among others, a good jeer to the old story of the Siege of Troy, making it to be a common country tale. But above all it was strange to see so little a boy as that was to act Cupid, which is one of the greatest parts in it

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Queen's Mask

Event Comment: The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: After dinner I went to the theatre, and there saw Love's Mistress done by them, which I do not like it some things so well as their acting in Salsbury Court. [Although Pepys saw this play on 2 March 1660@1 at Salisbury Court, done by the Duke's Company, here he appears to indicate a rival performance of it by the King's Company in Vere St.]

Event Comment: 'It is not certain what company played at this theatre ont his day Pepys, Diary: To Salisbury Court play house, where was acted the first time 'Tis pity Shee's a Whore, a simple play and ill acted, only it was my fortune to sit by a most pretty and ingenious lady, which pleased me much

Performances

Mainpiece Title: 'tis A Pity She's A Whore

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Pepys, Diary: I...called my wife at my brother's where I left her, and to the Opera, where we saw The Bondman, which of old we both did so doat on, and do still; though to both our thinking not so well acted here (having too great expectations), as formerly at Salisbury-court. But for Betterton he is called by us both the best actor in the world

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Bondman

Event Comment: A proclamation forbidding the keeping of Bartholomew Fair (and Sturbridge Fair in Salisbury) is in the Chetham Library, Manchester. A similar notice is in The Newes, 17 August 1665. No doubt, Southwark Fair fell under a similar closing order
