Event Comment: The edition of 1660, which has a Prologue and an Epilogue but no actors' names, was entered in the Stationers' Register, Aug. 1660, and apparently followed closely upon the return of Charles II. Edition of 1660: Acted Many Times with Great Applause, At the Private House in Dorset-Court

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Rump Or The Mirrour Of The Late Times

Event Comment: See Herbert, Dramatic Records, p. 117. The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: To the Theatre, and there sat in the pit among the company of fine ladys, &c.; and the house was exceeding full, to see Argalus and Parthenia, the first time that it hath been acted: and indeed it is good, though wronged by my over great expectations, as all things else are

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Argalus And Parthenia

Event Comment: The King's Company. See Herbert (Dramatic Records, p. 117), where are listed The Loyall Subject, Mad Louer, The Wildgoose Chase following this play but preceding April 1661. Pepys, Diary: I went by coach to the play-house at the Theatre, our coach in King Street breaking, and so took another. Here we saw Argalus and Parthenia, which I lately saw, but though pleasant for the dancing and singing, I do not find good for any wit or design therein

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Argalus And Parthenia

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Pepys, Diary: Creed and I to Whitefriars to the Play-house, and saw The Mad Lover, the first time I ever saw it acted, which I like pretty well

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Mad Lover

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. The British Museum copy of the 1653 copy of this play has, in an old hand: Deflores by Betterton. Pepys, Diary: Then by water to Whitefriars to the Play-house, and there saw The Changeling, the first time it hath been acted these twenty years, and it takes exceedingly. Besides, I see the gallants do begin to be tyred with the vanity and pride of the theatre actors who are indeed grown very proud and rich

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Changeling

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 Queens Mask

Event Comment: The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: I went to the Theatre, and there I saw Claracilla (the first time I ever saw it), well acted. But strange to see this house, that used to be so thronged, now empty since the Opera begun; and so will continue for a while, I believe

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Claracilla
