04 January 1777 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: Mainpiece: by Shakespeare, in 5 acts. With New Music, Scenes, Dresses and Decorations. Public Advertiser, 6 Jan.: The Shipwreck, which opened the Piece, was designed and executed under the Direction of DeLoutherbourg. The new Airs and Chorusses are composed by Linley Jun. The Musical Instrument (played behind the Scenes) is the Invention of Merlin. Morning Chronicle, 6 Jan.: Caliban is by much the best performed character in the piece... The dresses were rich, but to our amazement those of Ferdinand, Sebastian, &c. were in the Spanish taste. [Ibid., 8 Jan., remarks that the entire omission of I. i is to be regretted. Miss Field and Mrs Cuyler are identified by MS annotations on Kemble playbill.] Receipts: #231 9s. 6d. (211.19.0; 17.5.6; 2.5.0)
