25 May 1748

Event Information
Theatre: Drury Lane Theatre
Theatrical Season: 1747-1748
Volume: 4
Comments: The 172nd and last performance of the season (Cross). This was the end of the season, having played 171 nights. Rec'd by the forfeits of the Band of Musick, which used formerly to be given the treasurer, #22 9s. 2d. Rec'd ditto from the actors, #15 1s. 2d. So that they did receive, as appears by their own books, the first season of Mr G-k's commencing manager, the sum of #21,044 15s. 2d., which I shall carry forward to the receipts of the next season (Powel). [N.B.: Powel's analysis of expenses and profits is based on a two-year income and concludes in June 1749. Cross's visual estimate of the value of each night amounts to #25,741. If one subtracts, however, the difference between the estimate on benefit nights and the actual house charges received, a sum of #4,796, Cross's estimate of total income from box receipts amounts to #20,945.] Receipts: #170 (Cross); #163 13s. 6d. (Powel)
