'Villikens and his Dinah, or, The cup of cold pison', broad farce in one act by James Bruton. Licence sent 23 February 1854 for performance at the Surrey 27 February 1854. 'H. Blanchard, Copyist, 35 Isabella Street, Gibson St, Waterloo Road' written on title page. Nicoll confuses copyist for author and additionally confuses the copyist's name for a similar-sounding playwright's name, listing the play under F. C. Burnand. Stage directions and speaking cues underlined in red. Nicoll also refers to the play having been published in Lacy’s, but it seems more likely that the plays printed as vol. 14, no. 197 (‘Willikind and his Dinah’) and vol. 54, no. 796 (‘Vilkins and his death’) are those licensed as Add. 52946 B and 52946 H. Keywords: impersonation, military, disguise, family relationships, doctors and medicine, illness, poisoning.
ff. 31.
