ABSTRACT
Hester Santlow returned to work full-time at Drury Lane in 1713-14. On 7 October 1713, she appeared in the title-role of The Fair Quaker of Deal, her first advertised performance of the season. On 21 October, she was billed as Flora in The Country Wake. On 10 November, she probably took her first new role, when she played the tiny part of Serina in Thomas Otway’s The Orphan (no cast was listed until 7 May 1714). On 19 November, she played Gatty in She Would If She Could. During the first weeks of the season she may also have played Cydaria in The Indian Emperor, Prue in Love for Love, and Dorinda in The Tempest.
