26 October 1661 @ Theatre in Vere Street

Event Comment: The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: Sir W. Pen, my wife and I to the Theatre, and there saw The Country Captain, the first time it hath been acted this twenty-five years, a play of my Lord Newcastle's, but so silly a play as in all my life I never saw, and the first that ever I was weary of in my life. Herbert (Dramatic Records, p. 118) lists Love's Mistress for this date for Vere St., but the item is out of the normal order of the entries. To move it to 26 Oct. 1662 would place it on a Sunday. The play had been given previously (2 March 1661, 11 March 1661, 25 March 1661) by both the Duke's Company and King's Company. Possibly Herbert entered it on the wrong day. On Herbert's list, following Love's Mistress, are two plays, The Contented Collinell [Brenoralt] and Love at First Sight, each listed without a date. The former, under the title Brenoralt, had been acted at Vere St. on 23 July 1661; the second was soon to be acted there on 29 Nov. 1661

02 January 1667 @ The (first) Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: The King's Company. Richard Legh, writing to his wife, 3 Jan. 1667@7, reported to her concerning this play: which is so damn'd bawdy that the Ladyes flung their peares and fruites at the Actors (Lady Newton, The House of Lyme, p. 240). Pepys, Diary: Alone to the King's House, and there saw The Custome of the Country, the second time of its beind acted, wherein Knipp does the Widow well; but, of all the plays that ever I did see, the worst--having neither plot, language, nor anything in the earth that is acceptable; only Knipp sings a little song admirably. But fully the worst play that ever I saw or I believe shall see

01 August 1667 @ The (first) Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: I was got to go to the play with them [several of his friends]-the first I have seen since before the Dutch coming upon our coast, and so to the King's house, to see The Custome of the Country. The house mighty empty--more than ever I saw it--and an ill play

14 August 1667 @ The (first) Drury Lane Theatre

14 May 1668 @ The (first) Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: I carried [Mercer and Mrs Gayet] to the King's house...and there saw The Country Captain, a very dull play, that did give us no content, and besides, little company there, which made it very unpleasing

19 March 1675 @ Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Nell Gwyn attended this play. See VanLennep, Nell Gwyn's Playgoing, p. 407, where VanLennep speculates that it might have been John Crowne's The Country Wit, which is not otherwise known to be acted until 10 Jan. 1675@6. It should be noted that this performance falls on a Friday in Lent

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Ye Country Knight

222
10 January 1676 @ Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@142, p. 81. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 348. There is no certainty that this is the premiere of this play; in fact, there is uncertainty concerning the first production, for Nell Gwyn saw a play on 19 March 1673@4, The Country Knight, about which nothing otherwise is known and which might be this play. Nevertheless, the fact that the play was not entered in the Term Catalogues until May 1676 makes it unlikely that the play was first acted two years before its publication, especially since it became a moderately popular play

Mainpiece Title: The Country Wit

223
April 1696 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: Rich's Company. The date of the first performance is not known, but the fact that the play was advertised in the Post Boy, 9-12 May 1696, suggests that it was first acted not later than April 1696. It may, however, have been first performed sometime earlier, for two songs for it were set by Henry Purcell, who had died in November 1695. See Purcell's Works, Purcell Society, XXI (1917), vi-vii. A Comparison Between the Two Stages (1702), p. 18: Pausanias, or Lover of his Country, Damn'd, tho writ by a person of Quality, and protected by Southern. One song, My dearest, my fairest, is a dialogue between Mr Cooke and Mrs Hodgson

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Pausanius, The Betrayer Of His Country

224
18 January 1698 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: Rich's Company. There is no certainly as to whether this performance is the premiere. Because the play was not published until 1715, the cast for the first performance is not known. Lady Morley attended this performance. Hotson, Commonwealth and Restoration Stage, p. 377: Lady Morley and one in the Box att Country House 8s

23 August 1699 @ Bartholomew Fair

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Fryar Bacon; Or, The Country Justice : With The Humours Of tolfree The Miller, And His Son ralph

Performance Comment: A playbill: At Parker's and Doggett's Booth near Hosier-Lane End, in Smithfield, during the Time of Bartholomew-Fair, will be presented a New Droll, called, Fryar Bacon; or, The Country Justice: With the Humours of Tolfree the Miller, and his Son Ralph, Acted by Mr Doggett. With Variety of Scenes, Machines, Songs and Dances. Vivat Rex. (See William VanLennep, Some Early English Playbills, Harvard Library Bulletin, VIII (1954), opposite page 237.) The London Spy, August 1699, describes a visit to Bartholomew Fair, including an account of Doggett's droll and another, Dwarf Comedy, Sir-nam'd a Droll' called The Devil of a Wife. In the Post Man, 15-17 Aug. 1699, is an advance notice of rope dancing and a booth run by Barnes and Appleby between the Crown Tavern and the Hospital Gate, next to Miller's Droll Booth.
