The high price listed above is to be taken into consideration only by the extremely wealthy, who might like to engage the services of Richardson's Theatre for a private party or other, similar social gathering. This is not a common practice, but the proprietors of Ye Old eBay thought it an interesting experiment to tinker with for the first time here. This production of Romeo and Juliet is far from banal, as so many interpretations of the great bard's works tend to be. Lee has discarded the idea that only men are fit to act in his productions - there will be no beard or facial hair otherwise on his fair Juliet. Lee's first successes were as a manager of a theatrical company, a capacity in which he serves today, though now owning the theatre as well. His production of the popular drama Unnatural Parents scored a hit with audiences in 1725 when he first set out to operate his own theatrical facility. Additional productions available include The Siege of Troy, which, according to observers, "in its decorations, machinery and paintings, far exceeds anything of the like kind that ever was seen.before, the scenes and clothes being entirely new" (Frost, 121). This is an extremely high-class company of performers and well worth the starting bid. One with sufficient capital would be foolish to pass up such a remarkable opportunity (not only to witness such a wonderful performance, but to impress guests as well).
