ABSTRACT
Extracts from the 'DiaryT, ed. H.B. Wheatley (1893-9). Pepys proves happily inconsistent in his reactions to Webster. The 1662 production with Betterton had some success (see Introduction); 'Ianthe' was Mary Saunderson, later Mrs Betterton. 'The Roman Virgin' was an adaptation of 'Appius and Virginia' by Betterton in 1669.
