Abstract: |
Historic England has sponsored a thematic project on a number of London's Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses and bear baiting arenas. This element concerns The Curtain, Shoreditch, which was in use from 1577 - c. 1625. Recent archaeological investigations suggest that the playhouse was rectangular in form, rather than the polygonal shape associated with other contemporary venues such as the Theatre, the Rose and the Globe. Many acting companies played at the Curtain, including the Lord Chamberlain's Men, of which Shakespeare was a member. It is thought that Romeo and Juliet and Henry V were first staged here. |
