‘Peter the Great’, drama in two acts by Edward Fitzball. Licence sent 13 July 1852 for performance at Astley’s Amphitheatre. ‘The property of . . . W. Batty’ as well as signature of C. Le Clercq, the ‘stage manager’ appear on title page. A play of the same title by A. Cherry was performed in 1807, by T. Morton and J. Kenney in 1829 (Add. 42894 (8), as ‘Peter the Great, or, The Battle of Pultawa’), and by L. B. Irving in 1898 (Add. 53650 S). The version by A. Cherry has the additional title of ‘Wooden walls.’ For a version in Italian see Add. 52933 W. According to Nicoll, published in Lacy's, Duncombe’s, and Dick’s, but the only reference which can be verified is the one for Dick’s Standard Plays (no. 104 (1898?), and it seems more likely that this is an edition of the Irving version of that year. Keywords: military, servants, Russia, Russian Empire, murder, animals.
