Cast list error: Event 45005 #5
Description
On 24 May 1787 (event id=45004), Elizabeth Inchbald's afterpiece The Midnight Hour is billed as the 'mainpiece' because it was the first of three short, afterpiece-length, pieces performed that evening. As a result of this category confusion, the performance is pulling the cast list from the mainpiece (The Orphan) on its premiere date of 22 May rather than the cast list from the afterpiece. The error gets repeated in other entries keyed to "as 22 May."
