By permission of his honour the lieutenant-governor, by a
company of comedians, at the new theatre, in Chappel-Street,
this present Monday, being the 4th of January, will be
presented, a tragedy, written by Ottway, called,
Venice Preserv'd: or, A Plot Discover'd. By particular
desire.
A prologue and epilogue, in vindication of dramatic
entertainments, to be spoken by Mr. Hallam and Mrs.
Douglass.
To which will be added, a comedy of two acts, call'd,
The Lying Valet.
Places in the boxes to be taken of Mr. Douglass, at Mr.
Hampton's, near the theatre.
Complaints having been several times made, that much
interrupt the performance; and as it is impossible the
actors when thus obstructed, should do that justice to their
parts they otherwise would; it will be taken as a particular
favour if no gentleman will be offended that he is
absolutely refus'd admittance at the stage door, unless he
has previously secured himself a place in either the stage
or upper boxes.
No money will be taken at the door, nor any person admitted
without tickets, which are to be sold by H. Gaine, printer,
at the Bible and Crown, in Hanover-Square.
Boxes 8s. Pit 5s. Gallery 3s.
The doors to be open'd at four, and the play to begin
precisely at six o'clock.
No person can be admitted behind the scenes.
The prologue and epilogue came too late to be inserted in
this week's paper.
