25 March 1662 @ The Red Bull Theatre

Event Comment: Jacques Thierry and Will Schellinks saw this performance (Seaton, Literary Relationships, pp. 334, 336). Although this performance falls in Passion Week, the date seems correct.

As Jolly played Part I (A Girle Worth Gold) at Norwich, this is probably a presentation of Part I
