The London Stage Database team will be retiring the Legacy Search on May 1, 2025. Please take a moment before that date to reproduce any pre-2021 searches and export any resulting datasets you may wish to preserve for future use. We are making this change in order to free up computational resources for new features and data, currently in development with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Watch this space for more updates and, coming soon, new ways to keep up with the latest project developments!

Event Comment: Receipts: #161 12s. To Covent Garden Playhouse to see Miss Brent in the character of Polly. Mr Dives was there and Lt Fevey, went to Miss Borgard in the side box and see her and Miss Ligonier into their coach, went and spoke to Mr Kindersley in the upper boxes, and fetched Mrs B, Mr and Mrs Pickel out of the Gallery. I liked her singing much. It was the 11th night (Elma Hailey, "The Brietzcke Diary 1759-1765," Notes and Queries, (Aug. 1951), 196, p.360)
