Event Comment: 6 Feb. 1659@60: Music, three nights, and acting The Clown #6 (A Calendar of the Middle Temple Records, ed. Hopwood, p. 168)

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Countryman Or Clown

Event Comment: On this date John Rogers petitioned the King concerning his right to keep the peace at the playhouses. In Herbert, Dramatic Records, p. 84, three companies, those at the red bull, cockpit, and salisbury court, are named as currently performing

Performances

Event Comment: The King's Company. Pepys, Diary: Tom and I and my wife to the Theatre, and there saw The Silent Woman. The first time that ever I did see it, and it is an excellent play. Among other things here, Kinaston, the boy, had the good turn to appear in three shapes: first, as a poor woman in ordinary clothes, to please Morose; then in fine clothes, as a gallant, and in them was clearly the prettiest woman in the whole house, and lastly, as a man; and then likewise did appear the handsomest man in the house

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Silent Woman

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Pepys, Diary: To Blackfryars [presumably a slip for Whitefriars, Salisbury Court] (the first time I ever was there since plays begun), and there after great patience and little expectation, from so poor beginning, I saw three acts of The Mayd in ye Mill, acted to my great content. But it begin late, I left the play

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Maid In The Mill

Event Comment: Edward Gower to Sir R. Leveson, 26 Feb. 1660@1: No more plays at court after this night, and but three days this week at the playhouse (HMC, 5th Report, 1876, p. 202). Boswell (Restoration Court Stage, p. 279) accepts this as evidence that a play was acted at Court on this night. As this was Shrove Tuesday, Gower's statement may well reflect the restrictions upon plays during Lent

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Cities Loyalty Display'd; Or The Four Famous And Renowned Fabricks

Performance Comment: in the City of London Exactly described in their several Representations, what they are, with their private meanings and perfect Actions at the day of publick View, which is not yet discovered. Together with a true Relation of that high and stately Cedar erected in the Strand bearing five Crowns, a Royal Streamer, three Lanthorns, and a rich Garland.
Event Comment: Pepys, Diary: My wife and I to the Opera, and there saw again Love and Honour, a play so good that it has been acted but three times and I have seen them all, and all in this week; which is too much, and more than I will do again a good while

Performances

Mainpiece Title: Love And Honour

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Pepys, Diary: My wife and I by water to the Opera, and there saw The Bondman most excellently acted; and though we had seen it so often, yet I never liked it better than to-day, Ianthe [Mrs Saunderson] acting Cleora's part very well now Roxalana [Mrs Hester Davenport] is gone. We are resolved to see no more plays till Whitsuntide, we having been three days together. Met Mr Sanchy, Smithes, Gale, and Edlin at the play, but having no great mind to spend money, I left them there

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Bondman

Event Comment: The King's Company. Apparently this was the premiere. Prologue: First Astrol. reads.

Performances

Mainpiece Title: The Wild Gallant

Event Comment: In the Prologue to The Cheats (mid-March 1663) are allusions to three plays which apparently were popular on the stage at this time: Jonson's The Silent Woman ("Sir Poll"); Jonson's The Devil is an Ass ("No little Pugge, nor Devil"); and Davenant's The Siege of Rhodes ("No tedious Sieges in the Musick-room")
