    Two license books of John Larpent

    Manuscripts

    Register of licenses issued by John Larpent from Jan. 1801 to Jan 15, 1824. The entries include the names and brief descriptions of the plays for which licenses were granted, with the name of the theatre where it was to be performed, together with the entry for the license fee. In addition to the London theatres -- the Haymarket, Covent Garden, Drury Lane, the Adelphi and the Olympic -- there are entries for provincial theaters such as Norwich, Birmingham, Margate, Liverpool, Manchester, York, Hull, and Glasgow, sometimes with the name of the manager. A few plays are crossed out as "refused." There is an entry for "An address to be spoken on Master Betty's 1st appearance in London, Theatre Royal Covent Garden Dec. 1st 1804."
