The Mulberry-Garden
''The Mulberry-Garden'' is a comedy by Restoration poet and playwright Sir Charles Sedley (1639-1701) and was published in 1668
==Stage History and Reception==
In his diary, Samuel Pepys mentions Sedley's long awaited play: "It being the first day of Sir Charles Sidly's new play, so long expected, ''The Mulbery guarden''"〔''The Diary of Samuel Pepys'' Eds Robert Latham and William Matthews, Vol. IX, 203''〕 Pepys, however, who frequented the theatre was disappointed after the première in the Theatre in Bridges Street on 18 May 1668.〔PEPYS, Vol. IX, 203〕 Apart from this short critique, no other comment on the performance is known. Pepys was not only disappointed with the language and design of the play; a lover of music like himself also disapproved of the musical setting.
The play was performed again on 20 May 1668, following on another probable performance the previous day.〔''The London Stage 1660-1800'' Ed. William Van Lennep, Vol. I, 137. See also PEPYS, IX, 206.〕 ''The Mulberry-Garden'' was still performed on 29 June 1668. While the play was not a smash hit, it had the average reception of so many other comedies at the time. The new edition of ''The Mulberry-Garden'' (1675) suggests that the play was revived for the theatre season of 1674/75.〔LONDON STAGE, I, 221.〕
As far as is known, ''The Mulberry-Garden'' was not revived after Sedley's death (1701). Unlike the well-known comedies ''The Country Wife'', ''The Man of Mode'' and Ravenscroft's ''London Cuckolds'', Sedley's play never belonged to a canon of plays which were regularly performed in the eighteenth century.
