Mainpiece Title: The English Princess; Or, The Death Of Richard The Third

Performance Comment: The edition of 1667 lists no actors' names, but Downes (Roscius Anglicanus, p. 27) lists: King Richard-Betterton; Duke of Richmond-Harris; Sir William Stanly-Smith; Prologue-; Edition of 1673: Epilogue. Edition of 1673: Epilogue.
Cast
Role: Sir William Stanly Actor: Smith
Event Comment: The Prologue and Epilogue to Sir William Cartwright's The Ordinary were printed in A Collection of Poems Written Upon Several Occasions, 1673, and the play was licensed for a revival, the date of the license being 15 January 1671. See The Plays and Poems of Sir William Cartwright, ed. G. Blakemore Evans (Madison, Wisc., 1951), p. 262. The fact that this day falls on Sunday and the fact that the Prologue and Epilogue were printed in 1673, raise the possibility that this date should be regarded as 15 January 1671@2 rather than 15 January 1670@1
