Macbeth (William Shakespeare) (The Diary of Samuel Pepys)

On April 20, 1611, the first known performance of Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth at the Globe Theatre, London took place. It was recorded by Simon Forman. From the article:

"First performance
Richard Burbage (c.1567-1619) played the title role in first known performance of Macbeth at the Globe on 20 April 1611, an event recorded by Simon Forman in his Book of Plaies. Some historians contend the play may have been performed even earlier, when it could have been one of several works presented at Hampton Court before King James VI/I and the visiting King of Denmark, Christian IV, on 7 August 1606."
