Shakespeare's lost playhouse : eleven days at Newington Butts
Johnson, Lawrence, 1967-2017
Books
The theatre at Newington Butts has long remained on the fringes of histories of Shakespeare's career and of the golden age of the theatre with which his name is associated. A mile outside London, and relatively disused by the time Shakespeare began his career in the theatre, the theatre has been easy to forget. Yet for 11 days in June, 1594, it was home to the two companies that would come to dominate the London theatres. Thanks to the ledgers of theatre entrepreneur, Philip Henslowe, we have a record of this short venture. 'Shakespeare's Lost Playhouse' is an exploration of a brief moment in time when the focus of the theatrical world in England was on this small playhouse.
