Drury Lane Theatre Season Ends With Two New Comedies
A Drury Lane bill announces the last performance of the season at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane tomorrow. The program includes a three act comedy The Citizen with a star cast, plus a two act comedy The Old Maid with several principal performers, prologue and dancing entertainments. Also advertised are seating details, box prices, and a note that no money will be returned after curtain. A separate notice lists a warehouse opening for sale of paints and powders and a lengthy dispatch from India detailing siege actions and capitulations at Pondicherry with multiple batteries and fortifications.
