Regency Pastimes: King’s Theatre Box Subscribers

I ran across this published listing of the box subscribers to the King’s Theatre in Haymarket, London (sometimes referred to as the Italian Opera House) from the early 1800s.

It’s a fascinating list of who’s who in Regency London, and likely an inspiration if you are a writer looking to establish the scene.
