I remember reading about this a while back. A few years after being restored Charles II went out to see his favourite play ,Othello, with Nell.
20 min had passed and he asked the manager
"Why hasn't the play started?"
"Your majesity. It appears the man who was ment to play the main female role forgot to shave this morning!"
