Event Comment: Mainpiece [1st time; C 5, by
Frederick Reynolds. Prologue by
James Boaden. Epilogue by
Edward Topham (see text). For this play Reynolds and
the cg manager made a new plan for payments to
the author. Benefits for
the author on
the 3rd, 6th and 9th nights were abandoned; instead he received #33 6s. 8d. for each of
the first nine nights and #100 on
the 20th night. "This was
the foundation of that bargain between manager and author which, I believe, exists to
the present period [1826]" (
Reynolds, II, 182-83)].
