The London Stage Database team will be retiring the Legacy Search on May 1, 2025. Please take a moment before that date to reproduce any pre-2021 searches and export any resulting datasets you may wish to preserve for future use. We are making this change in order to free up computational resources for new features and data, currently in development with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Watch this space for more updates and, coming soon, new ways to keep up with the latest project developments!

Event Comment: DDaily Journal, 4 June: There is building, and almost finish'd here [in Richmond], a small, but very neat and regular Theatre, a little higher on the Hill than where the late Mr Penkethman's stood. We hear it will be open'd next Week by a Company...from...Lincoln's Inn Fields, and that their first Play will be the Recruiting Officer...and that they design to perform three or four Times a Week during the Summer Season
