Mainpiece Title: The Humorous Lieutenant

Event Comment: The King's Company. L. C. list 5@139, p. 129 names Flora's Vagaries; L. C. 5@12, p. 17 names Rule a Wife, and Have a Wife. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 343

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Rule A Wife And Have A Wife

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. This play is on the L. C. list, 5@141, p. 2. See also Nicoll, Restoration Drama, p. 347. It is uncertain, however, just when this performance occurred. The L. C. lists at Harvard (see VanLennep, Plays on the English Stage, p. 19) suggest that the three performances at the head of this list belong to the spring of 1672 rather than the spring of 1671. If this is correct, this performance of Sir Solomon is out of place in the list, for it can hardly be placed at 14 Nov. 1672, yet it is surprising that, so soon after the opening of dg, the Duke's Company should act at court, especially when the King and Queen attended dg on the following day, 15 Nov. 1671. This performance of Sir Solomon should be judged as an uncertain one
