Event Comment: The Duke's Company. This performance is on the L. C. list, 5@142, p. 81. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 348. There is no certainty that this is the premiere of this play; in fact, there is uncertainty concerning the first production, for Nell Gwyn saw a play on 19 March 1673@4, The Country Knight, about which nothing otherwise is known and which might be this play. Nevertheless, the fact that the play was not entered in the Term Catalogues until May 1676 makes it unlikely that the play was first acted two years before its publication, especially since it became a moderately popular play
