About this book
The Case of Mrs. Clive is a work by Mrs. Clive, dated 1744. The text carries an introduction by Richard C. Frushell. The introduction says that the players from Drury Lane in the summer of 1743 banded together and refused to perform the next season until salaries and playing conditions improved.
The introduction calls tardy and partial payment of salary the surface sore point, and unprincipled and unwarranted manipulation by the managers the underlying one. The introduction says The Case of Mrs. Clive Submitted to the Publick was published in October, 1744. The introduction says Kitty Rafter (1711-1785) quickly became a favorite of the town by virtue of her singing voice, vivacity, and gift for mimicry.
