Event Comment: The King's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@141, p. 359: Augustus Caesar. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 346. The music for a song in act I, scene I, was composed by Nicholas Staggins, and printed in Choice Ayres and Songs, The Second Book, 1679. There is no certainty that this was the premiere, but it may well have been. The play was entered in the Term Catalogues, May 1676

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Gloriana; Or, The Court Of Augustus Caesar

Performance Comment: Prologue to the Court of Augustus Caesar-Mrs Roch; Epilogue to the Court of Augustus Caesar-Mr Haynes; Augustus Caesar-Mohun; Caesario-Hart; Marcellus-Kenaston; Tiberius-Lydall; Agrippa-Cartwrite; Mecaenas-Griffin; Ovid-Clarke; Leander-Powell; Araspes-Harris; Gloriana-Mrs Marshall; Julia-Mrs James; Narcissa-Mrs Corbet.
Event Comment: The King's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@141, p. 359. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 346. There is no certainty that this performance is the premiere, but as the play was licensed for printing on 9 Jan. 1676@7, this performance may well be the first one. Downes (Roscius Anglicanus, pp.9-10) lists the same cast except for the ommission of Letice. It is not certain which Mrs Knight played Letice. Possibly it was Frances Maria Knight (see Wilson, All the King's Ladies, where she is tentatively listed for that role), but the presence of Mrs Ursula Knight on an undated L. C. list, 3@24, with the date of her swearing into the company given as 12 March 1676@7, it is quite likely that she played this role. (I owe this reference to Ursula Knight to Professor John Harold Wilson.) John Dennis: And when upon the first representations of the Plain Dealer, the Town, as The Authour has often told me, appeard Doubtful what Judgment to Form of it; the foremention'd gentlemen [The Duke of Buckingham, Earl of Rochester, Earl of Dorset, Earl of Mulgrave, Savil, Buckly, Sir John Denham, Waller] by their loud aprobation of it, gave it both a sudden and a lasting reputation (Defense and Defects of Dramatick Poetry, 1725, in The Works of John Dennis, ed. Hooker, II, 277)

Event Comment: The King's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@141, p. 359. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 346. There is no certainty that this is the first performance, but a performance of Part II on 18 Jan. 1676@7 and a reference to both parts in a letter dated 19 Jan. 1676@7 suggest that the premiere must have occurred early in January

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Destruction Of Jerusalem By Titus Vespasian, Part I

Performance Comment: Edition of 1677: The Prologue to the First Part-; the Epilogue to Part II states that Mrs Marshal acted Queen Berenice. The Epilogue to the First Part-; Downes (Roscius Anglicanus, p. 13): Titus Vespasian-Kynaston; Phraartes-Hart; Matthias High Priest-Major Mohun; John-Cartwright; Clarona D. to Matthias-Mrs Boutell; Queen Berenice-Mrs Marshall.
Event Comment: The King's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@141, p. 359: The Rivall Queene. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 346. That this is the premiere is indicated by a letter from the Marquis of Worcester to the Marchioness, 17 March 1676@7: Sir Charles Sedley's Cleopatra has been acted often, and to-day a new play of the death of Alexander, but I have not been to see either, living a mighty drudging life (HMC, 12th Report, Appendix, Beaufort MSS., IX, 66). Downes (Roscius Anglicanus, p. 11), has a cast which agrees (except for omissions) with that in the edition of 1677. Downes adds (p. 16): [Hart in] Alexander, towards the latter End of his Acting; if he Acted in any one of these but once in a Fortnight, the House was fill'd as at a New Play, especially Alexander, he Acting that with such Grandeur and Agreeable Majesty, That one of the Court was pleas'd to Honour him with this Commendation; That Hart might Teach any King on Earth how to Comport himself
