Oratory at Lincoln's Inn Fields Promises Peculiar Oration
A late 17th century notice advertises an evening event at the Oratory near Lincoln's Inn Fields and Clare Market. It promises a quasi historical set piece titled a New History of Old England in a Transmigrations of 5 Sevens theme with a Travesty of the World and Chimes of the Times. It notes performances linked to Whig and Tory revivals and hints at a series of satirical pieces by N. Buf and others to be available at the Oratory.
