Comments:
The Prince of Orange's company of foreign comedians was apparently expected in England on this evening (HMC, 5th Report, Part I, 1876, p. 186). They were under the management of Francis Duperier and apparently remained in England for some four months. See Lawrence, Early French Players in England, p. 150. See also an order, L. C. 5@145, p. 90 (Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 253n), to prepare the Cockpit for the Prince of Orange's players
