Afterpiece Title: The Quaker

Dance: End III: Rural Grace, as17771002

Event Comment: Mainpiece: Not acted these 7 years. No joke ever raised such loud and repeated mirth, in the galleries, as Sir John 's labour in getting the body of Hotspur on his back...At length this upper-gallery merriment was done away [with] by the difficulties which Henderson encountered in getting Smith on his shoulders. So much time was consumed in this pick-a-pack business that the spectators grew tired, or rather, disgusted. It was thought best, for the future, that some of Falstaff 's ragamuffins should bear off the dead body" (Davies, I, 273-75). [For Henderson as Falstaff see hay, 24 July 1777.] Receipts: #207 10s. 6d. (185.6.0; 20.7.0; 1.17.6)
