Event Comment: 3rd piece: Not acted
these 3 years [acted 10 July 1794]. [In 2nd piece
the playbill retains
Fawcett as
Gregory Gubbins, but "An apology for Fawcett, whose character (Gregory Gubbins) was filled by
Wathen, occasioned a general murmur" (
Monthly Magazine, July 1796, p. 494). It also assigns
the Corporal to
Wathen (1st appearance in that character).
The part was probably acted by
Burton, as on 13 June.
