Event Comment: Rich's Company. There is no certainty as to just when this revival occurred, but the revival probably occurred not later than July 1697, as this edition was advertised in the Post Man, 28-31 Aug. 1697; and Luttrell's copy (Huntington Library) bears as his acquisition date, 10 Sept. 1697

Performance Comment: Edition of 1697: King Antigonus-Harland; Demetrius-Cibber; Seleucus-Simpson; Charinthus-Disney; Menippus-Rogers; Leontius-Mills; Timon-Fairbank; Charinthus-Essex; Menippus-Provost; Humorous Lieutenant-Penkethman; Celia-Mrs Verbruggen; Leucippe-Mrs Bullock; Governess to Celia-Mrs Powell but it is likely that Disney played Lysimachus and Rogers acted Ptolomy rather than the roles assigned in this edition.
