03 July 1661 @ Lincoln's Inn Fields

Event Comment: On the assumption that the run began on 28 June and extended twelve days (as Downes states), it would continue through 11 July. On 3 July a group of players entitled the Red Bull Company began a series of performances at Oxford. The performances are known through the entries in Anthony Wood's journal. For a discussion of the problems as to what actors these were, see Sybil Rosenfeld, "Some Notes on the Players in Oxford, 1661-1713", Review of English Studies, XIX (1943), 366. On this day the players acted Tu Quoque, in which, according to Richard Walden (Io Ruminans, 1662) Anne Gibbs acted Gertrude

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. Pepys, Diary: Against my judgment and conscience (which God forgive, for my very heart knows that I offend God in breaking my vows therein) to the Opera, which is now newly begun to act again, after some alteracion of their scene, which do make it very much worse; but the play, Love and Honour, being the first time of their acting it, is a very good plot, and well done. Downes (pp. 21-22): This Play was Richly Cloath'd; The King giving Mr Betterton his Coronation Suit;...The Duke of York giving Mr Harris his...and my Lord of Oxford gave Mr Joseph Price his...and all the other Parts being very well done: The Play having a great run, Produc'd to the Company great Gain and Estimation from the Town
