There seems to have been another version of this play, which, after all, was only a travesty of Shakespeare's 'Tempest.'
'At Doggett's Booth, Hosier Lane End, during the Time of Bartholomew Fair, will be presented a New Droll, called the Distress'd Virgin, or Unnatural Parents, Being a True History of the Fair Maid of the West; or The Loving Sisters. With the Comical Travels of Poor Trusty in search of his Master's Daughter, and his encounter with Three Witches.
'Also Variety of Comick Dances and Songs, with Scenes and Machines never seen before—Vivat Regina.'
In the next advertisement we see three of 'Her Majesty's Servants' combine in keeping a booth in the Fair.
'At Pinkeman's, Mills', and Bullock's Booth,
In the Old Place over against the Hospital Gate, During the time of Bartholomew Fair will be presented, A New Droll call'd
'The Siege of Barcelona, or the Soldier's Fortune,
With the taking of Fort Mount jouy,
Containing the Pleasant and Comical Exploits of that Renown'd Hero Captain Blunderbuss and his Man Squib; His Adventures with the Conjuror; and a Surprizing Scene of the Flying Machine, where he and his Man Squib are Enchanted; Also the Diverting Humour of Corporal Scare Devil.
