| Additional Information | John Payne Collier in his copy of the Biographia Dramatica writes: It may be doubted whether it was not acted. It was certainly sent to Larpent in order to be licensed, but it does not appear from which Theatre. The mere presence of an unannotated printed copy, without manager's letter, among Larpent's manuscript is not indication that the piece was acted or even sent for licence.] |
