Author, Unknown unknown The entry reads only 'theatre', but it seems highly likely that Godwin went to see Romeo and Juliet and The Poor Soldier at Covent Garden, where the Old Price riots continued. It is not surprising that Godwin failed to enter the names of the plays and he may not even have have been aware of what was being performed: The Times for this day reported that during the previous night's performances, 'not a word of either play or farce was heard. There were plenty of placards, plenty of fights, plenty of whistles, plenty of horns, and plenty of small rattles.' See 'Covent Garden Theatre opens', 18 September 1809.
