Event Comment: In consequence of the sudden Indisposition of Mrs Kemble, Inkle and Yarico [in place of Cross Partners, advertised on playbill of 31 Aug.] is obliged to be postponed. [In mainpiece the playbill retains Palmer Jun. as the Officer, but "An apology was made by Palmer for his Son who (as he said), not knowing of the sudden change [of play], was gone to the country, but the son thought proper to give his father the lie, by appearing in the boxes, a few minutes after, with a girl. Farley performed his part, and the audience seemed rejoiced at the change" (Thespian Magazine, Oct. 1792, p.102). Afterpiece in place of Katharine and Petruchio, advertised on playbill of 31 Aug.

Event Comment: [In 2nd piece the playbill retains Johnstone, but "Bills were distributed in the theatre to inform the audience that Johnstone's indisposition had increased so much as to render him incapable of performing; in consequence of which Benson had, at a few hour's notice, undertaken to study the part of Kilmannock [sic]...He never appeared to stand in need of the prompter's assistance" (Thespian Magazine, Sept. 1793, p. 222). Benson's part as a Muleteer was perhaps omitted.
