Event Comment: NNeville MS Diary: Read their parts before ye play began....When the curtain was drawn up, ye Gods and even some in the pit (where I was) called for ye occasional prologue, which was not advertised.

Afterpiece Title: The Taylors

Event Comment: NNeville MS Diary: He [Foote] does Paragraph, Strap and Slaughter. In the first he took off Faulkner, the printer of the Dublin Journal; am uncertain who in the last two. In the Counsellor, who examines the witness in the affair of El Can...he takes of Willes, son of the late Chief Justice. That examination and other anecdotes are not in the printed copy of the Orators...Mrs Jeffereys could scarce do her part for laughing at Foote

Event Comment: NNeville MS Diary: The last three he [Foote] has not done for some time. I like Woodward better in young Philpot. Both add some crochets of their own. I don't think he took off Mr Whitefield well. Cole, Shift and Smirk he does inimitably. He has a great command of features in the ludicrous way, not such as that of Garrick
