By permission of his honour the lieutenant-governor. For
the benefit of Mr. Quelch. By a company of comedians. At
the new theatre in Chaple-Street, on Thursday next, being
the 4th of March, will be presented, a tragedy, written by
Shakespear, and alter'd by Mr. Garrick, call'd
Romeo and Juliet.
The part of Romeo, to be perform'd by Mr. Hallam, Prince, by
Mr. Douglass; Paris, by Mr. Tomlinson; Montague, by Mr.
Sturt; Capulet, by Mr. Morris; Mercutio, by Mr. Douglass;
Benvolio, by Mr. A. Hallam; Tibalt, by Mr. Reed; Friar
Lawrence, by Mr. Allyn; Friar John, by Mr. Tremain. The
part of Juliet, to be perform'd by Mrs. Douglass. Lady
Capulet, by Mrs. Allyn; Nurse, by Mrs. Morris.
In the masquerade scene, Mr. A. Hallam will perform a
comic dance.
With an additional scene, and the funeral procession of
Juliet to the monument of the Capulets. In which will be
sung a solemn dirge.
The vocal parts by Mrs. Morris, Mr. Quelch, Mr. Sturt, Mr.
Tremain, and Mrs. Allyn, &c.
To begin exactly at 6 o'clock.
Tickets to be had of H. Gaine, printer, bookseller and
stationer, at the Bible & Crown, in Hanover-Square, and of
Mr. Quelch, at his lodgings, at Captain Crew's, next door
but one to the theatre.
Boxes 8s. Pit 5s. Gallery 3s.
The ceremony of waiting on ladies and gentlemen at their
houses with bills, has been for some time left off in this
company; the frequent solicitations on these occasions,
having been found rather an inconvenience to the person so
waited on, than a complement; for which reason, Mr. Quelch
hopes the town will dispense with a personal application,
and favour him with their company.
