Roger, with regard to inflation, what cost $0.25 in 1843 would cost $6.42 in 2015. Knowing that probably enlarges options...
Eva, I actually found the notice in the Sangamon paper and then did a search. I found the play listed on library sites and a few references to Wm. P. Hastings, manager but no other mentions about the performance in Springfield. Nor could I find any information about "Wenlock of Wenlock" being performed anywhere else in America.
Roger, since Eva raised the issue and I don't want to appear cheap, your prize is adjusted to $6.42/ticket to account for inflation.
