  • The Drummer is a 1716 comedy play by the British writer Joseph Addison, also known as The Drummer, or, The Haunted House. It ran for three nights at the Drury Lane Theatre. It was the only new play staged at the theatre during that season. The cast featured Robert Wilks as Sir George Trueman, Anne Oldfield as Lady Trueman, Benjamin Johnson as Vellum, Colley Cibber as Tinsel, John Mills as Fantome, William Penkethman as Butler, Joe Miller as Coachman, as Gardiner and Margaret Saunders as Abigail. Addison's longstanding collaborator Richard Steele wrote a preface to the work. It was partly inspired by the story of Drummer of Tedworth, but rewritten in a more contemporary context and made supportive of the recent Hanoverian Succession. It was revived in 1762 at both Drury Lane and Covent Garden to capitalise on public excitement concerning the recent supposed Cock Lane ghost haunting. (en)
