Event Comment: [In 2nd piece the playbill retains Johnstone, but "Bills were distributed in the theatre to inform the audience that Johnstone's indisposition had increased so much as to render him incapable of performing; in consequence of which Benson had, at a few hour's notice, undertaken to study the part of Kilmannock [sic]...He never appeared to stand in need of the prompter's assistance" (Thespian Magazine, Sept. 1793, p. 222). Benson's part as a Muleteer was perhaps omitted.
