Event Comment: This performance is known by the Prologue and Epilogue printed in Thomas Jordan's A Nursery of Novelities or Variety of Poetry. The Prologue is dated 24 June 1660, but as this date falls on Sunday, the performance has been entered as Saturday 23 June 1660, for in this same work (p. 19) Jordan mentions: A Speech by way of Epilogue to those that would rise out of the Pit at the Red Bull in the last Scene, and disturb the conclusion by going on the Stage, June 23d 1660. [The Prologue and Epilogue have been reprinted in the Shakespeare Society Papers, IV (1849), 140-42, and in Sprague, Beaumont and Fletcher on the Restoration Stage, pp. 9-10. See also the list at the beginning of the season 1659-1660.
