The Plays
The Company were careful to perform plays soon after their London première, reinforcing their professionalism by presenting the most recent plays possible. For instance, "King Charles I" by William Harvard appeared in the same month in London and Norwich in 1737. John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera", new to London in January 1728, was performed to Norwich audiences three months later and taken soon after to Bury St Edmunds, Colchester and Ipswich.

Famous quotes containing the word plays:
“Self-interest speaks all sort of languages, and plays all sort of roles—even that of disinterest.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.”
—Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)
