- Local Notes:
- "Little information seems to have survived concerning this Guildford theatre, however a note at the foot of the playbill advises that 'as the managers are obliged to open their theatre at Southampton when the bathing season begins, their stay here can be but short ...', suggesting these performances were staged by an itinerant troupe, perhaps headed by the 'Mr Davis' listed as both actor and seller of tickets."--Vendor's description.
