| Additional Information | Printed copy, 1797: dated, by Larpent [?]. According to John Payne Collier in Biographia Dramatica, "'My Night-gown & Slippers' by G. Colman Junr. seems to have been performed at Drury Lane as an Interlude, but in what way the 'tales in verse' were introduced is not mentioned. By Larpent's account book it appears that they were divided into three parts and the whole is entitled "An Interlude called my Night-gown & Slippers." |
