Theatrical Season: 1667-1668
Volume: 1
Comments: Pepys, Diary: I met Rolt and Sir John Chichly, and Harris, the player, and there we talked of many things, and particularly of Catiline, which is to be suddenly acted at the King's house; and there all agree that it cannot be well done at that house, there not being good actors enow: and Burt acts Cicero, which they all conclude he will not be able to do well. The King gives them #500 for robes, there being, as they say, to be sixteen scarlett robes. Thence home for dinner, and would have had Harris home with me, but it was too late for him to get to the playhouse after it
