01 November 1680 @ Dorset Garden Theatre

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. The date of the first production is not certain, particularly since an entry in L. C. 5@145, p. 120 (see also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 349) lists this play for 8 March, the year uncertain. Since the entry follows one for The Souldier's Fortune which followed the premiere of The Female Prelate, 31 May 1680, the L. C. entry probably is one for 8 March 1680@1. That the premiere occurred near 1 Nov. 1680 is suggested by a letter of Anne Montague to Lady Hatton, 1 Nov. 1680: For I never see the towne fuller, for I was to see the new play, The Spanish Frier, and there was all the world, but the Court is a letell dull yet; the Queen being sick, there is noe drawing room (Hatton Correspondence, Camden Society, XXII [1878], 240). A song, Farewell ungratefull Traytor, with music by Captain Pack and sung by Mrs Crofts, is in Act V. For Leigh's and Nokes' acting, see Cibber, Apology, ed. Lowe, I, 143, 145-46. Downes (Roscius Anglicanus, p. 37): 'Twas Admirably Acted, and produc'd vast Profit to the Company

Performances

July 1686 @ Oxford University

Event Comment: In 1686 at Oxford the Act was cancelled at a late moment, but the players performed nevertheless. In mid-July Anthony Leigh, acting in The Committee, added some lines to his role that created a commotion. See Sybil Rosenfeld, Some Notes on the Players in Oxford, p. 370; Memoirs of the Verney Family, ed. Margaret M. Verney (London, 1899), IV, 381; Anthony Clark, The Life and Times of Anthony Wood (Oxford, 1894), III, 192-93
