Abstract: |
Historic England is sponsoring a thematic research project on a number of London's Elizabethan and Jacobean playhouses and bear baiting arenas. This element consists of the Hope Theatre, c. 1613 - 1656. The Hope was unique in being intentionally constructed as both a bear baiting arena and a theatrical playhouse. It was built partly on top of, or immediately adjacent, to Payne's Standings/Bear Gardens 3/3A, as part of the continuation of such entertainments on London's Bankside. There are surviving accounts of its construction in the diaries of Philip Henslowe, and The Hope also saw the first staging of Jonson's Bartholomew Fair, in 1614. |
