We are desired to inform the publick, that as the Company of
Comedians, lately from London, have obtain'd his honour the
Governor's permission, and have, with great expence,
entirely altered the play-house at Williamsburg to a regular
theatre, fit for the reception of ladies and gentlemen, and
the execution of their own performances, they intend to open
on the first Friday in September next, with a play, call'd
The Merchant of Venice, (written by Shakespear)
and a farce, call'd
The Anatomist, or, Sham Doctor.
The ladies are desired to give timely notice to Mr. Hallam,
at Mr. Fisher's, for their places in the boxes, and on the
day of performance to send their servants early to keep
them, in order to prevent trouble and disappointment.
