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.

Event Comment: According to A Calendar of the Middle Temple Records, ed. Hopwood (p. 168) the charges came to #11 and the receipt was signed by Will Burgon. The Diary and Will of Elias Ashmole: This day was kept solemnly at the Middle Temple and after the auncient manner. The Lord Chancellor, Judges and Sergeants that were of the Society dined in the Hall, after dinner they had a play, viz. Witt without Money [ed. R. T. Gunter, 1927, p. 76]. Ashmole lists the performance for 1 Nov. 1660, but the records of the Middle Temple point to 2 Nov. 1660 as the proper date

Pepys, Diary: Mr Shepley and I to the new Play-house near Lincoln's-Inn-Fields (which was formerly Gibbon's tennis-court), where the play of Beggar's Bush was newly begun; and so we went in and saw it, it was well acted: and here I saw the first time one Moone [Mohun], who is said to be the best actor in the world, lately come over with the King, and indeed it is the finest play-house, I believe, that ever was in England

Event Comment: Pepys, Diary: I to a play, The Scornfull Lady. [Because this play was offered at Vere Street on 21 Nov. 1660 and because Pepys had been attending that playhouse, it seems likely that this was also a production of the King's Company.
