Performances

Mainpiece Title: Honorius

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Don Calascione

Dance: Between the Acts: Dancing-

Event Comment: The Prologue and Epilogue to Sir William Cartwright's The Ordinary were printed in A Collection of Poems Written Upon Several Occasions, 1673, and the play was licensed for a revival, the date of the license being 15 January 1671. See The Plays and Poems of Sir William Cartwright, ed. G. Blakemore Evans (Madison, Wisc., 1951), p. 262. The fact that this day falls on Sunday and the fact that the Prologue and Epilogue were printed in 1673, raise the possibility that this date should be regarded as 15 January 1671@2 rather than 15 January 1670@1

Performances

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. It is uncertain whether this performance and those for 13 and 28 March belong to 1670@1 or 1671@2. They are on the L. C. list, 5@141, p. 2 (see also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 347), but VanLennep's discovery of an L. C. list for the Duke's Company covering March 1670@1 but not including these plays led him to believe that they Pertain to March 1671@2. See VanLennep, Plays on the English Stage, p. 19. On 9 March 1670@1 or 1671@2 Henry Herbert qranted permission to the Duke's Company to act The Lady Errant. See The Plays and Poems of William Cartwright, ed. G. Blakemore Evans (Madison, Wisc., 1951), p. 85

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Hannibal

Event Comment: A revival of this play (probably by the King's Company) at about this time is a possibility. The Prologue and Epilogue are in A Collection of Poems Written upon several Occasions by several Persons (1673), and the Epilogue refers to the Witches in Macbeth, which had been acted on 18 Feb. 1672@3. See The Plays and Poems of William Cartwright, ed. G. Blakemore Evans (Madison, Wis., 1951), pp. 610-12
