Event Comment: [In mainpiece the playbill retains Palmer as Woodville , but "The curtain was dropped in the middle of the first act, and after a delay of near half an hour, Barrymore informed the audience Palmer was not come to the theatre...and therefore solicited permission for Benson to [act] Woodville, which he had undertaken at a few minutes' notice. Benson (who had played the two first scenes of Vane) agreeable surprised the audience by his representation of Woodville" (Thespian Magazine, June 1793, p. 2). Who continued in the part of Vane (which cannot be doubled with that of Woodville) is not stated. R. Palmer, who acted it on 14 Feb., was indisposed.] Receipts: #175 4s. (117.16; 52.14; 4.14)
