The King & Queen & the Royal family was their 2/3
The first play, by Susanna Centlivre, is still in print you can read the text here. This picture shows the author, who died in 1723.
This, somewhat later illustration shows Garrick playing opposite a different actress
Mrs Cibber was an actress & Singer who Thomas has mentioned before. Here she is playing opposite David Garrick in another play. This portrait is by Zoffany
He has also seen Harlequin Ranger before
Sadly, there do not appear to have been any suitable portraits of the King & Queen arriving at the theatre. Where were the paparazzi when I needed them?
