13 September 1660 @ no theater listed

Event Comment: The death of the Duke of Gloucester on this day apparently closed the theatres for a short time. Andrew Newport, writing on 15 Sept. 1660 to Sir Richard Leveson, stated: The court is in deep mourning and will continue so for 6 weeks (Sutherland MSS., HMC, 5th Report, Appendix, 1876, p. 156), but it is not until 27 Sept. 1660 that Rugg reported: playes are for present forbiden because of the death of the Duke of Gloucester (BM Add. Mss. 10116, folio 90v). The theatres may have opened on Monday 8 Oct. 1660; certainly they were acting by 11 Oct. 1660

03 July 1661 @ Lincoln's Inn Fields

Event Comment: On the assumption that the run began on 28 June and extended twelve days (as Downes states), it would continue through 11 July. On 3 July a group of players entitled the Red Bull Company began a series of performances at Oxford. The performances are known through the entries in Anthony Wood's journal. For a discussion of the problems as to what actors these were, see Sybil Rosenfeld, "Some Notes on the Players in Oxford, 1661-1713", Review of English Studies, XIX (1943), 366. On this day the players acted Tu Quoque, in which, according to Richard Walden (Io Ruminans, 1662) Anne Gibbs acted Gertrude
