Event Comment: London Gazette, No 2878, 8-12 June 1693: Next Saturday being the 17th of June will be perform'd in Villers-street in York-Building, for that time only, Mr Franks Consort, which will consist of English Dialogues and Songs (the Words by Mr Motteux) with Instrumental Musick proper to them, beginning exactly at 7 at Night. The Gentleman's Journal, May 1693 (issued in June 1693): We have had lately a Consort of Music, which as it hath pleased the most nice and judicious Lovers of that Art; would doubtless have had your Approbation; I only speak of the Notes which were by Mr Franck; As for the words I [Motteux] made them in haste (p. 148)

Mainpiece Title: Agnes De Castro

Event Comment: Rich's Company. The date of the first performance is not known, but the fact that the play was advertised in the Post Boy, 25-27 Aug. 1696, suggests that it was first acted not later than July 1696 and possibly in June 1696. In the edition of 1696 are two dialogues, set by Clarke, the words by Haynes, and sung by Bowen and Mrs Cross.

Event Comment: Rich's Company. The date of the first performance is not known, but the fact that the play was advertised in the Post Man, 7-9 July 1698, suggests a premiere in June 1698. In addition, the Preface replies to Jeremy Collier, whose Short View had a second edition appear in mid-May, and the presence of some younger actors--Fairbank and Bullock, for example--in the cast suggests a summer performance. The music for the songs was composed by Daniel Purcell. A Comparison Between the Two Stages (1702), p. 20: Damn'd
