17 October 1791 @ Drury Lane at King's Theatre

Event Comment: [The playbill announces King Henry the Fifth and The Cave of Trophonius, but "The performances at this Theatre were changed last night on account of the indisposition of Kemble. Henry the Fifth gave way to The Siege of Belgrade, and The Cave of Trophonius was also superseded, as it was impossible for the vocal performers to sustain the whole effort of the night" (Morning Post, 18 Oct.). A MS annotation on Kemble playbill gives the name of the substitute afterpiece.] Receipts: #234 8s. (183.1; 49.18; 1.9)
