07 December 1793 @ Haymarket Theatre

Event Comment: [In afterpiece the playbill retains Suett, but "Previous to the farce, Barrymore informed the audience that Suett was so very hoarse as to be incapable of performing [in] The Mariners; in consequence of which Bland had undertaken to supply his place" (Thespian Magaune, Supp. 1793, p. 399). It is not stated who took Bland's place. Presumably Suett was able to appear in the mainpiece.]
