Johnson, Laurie (2018) Who performed at Newington Butts in 1586? Early Theatre, 21 (2). pp. 29-48. ISSN 1206-9078
Abstract
While recent studies offer new information about the companies that used the Playhouse at Newington Butts from 1575 to 1594, mystery remains about the identity of the company performing there in contravention of a restraint in May 1586. Using evidence related to the movements of companies active in 1586, particularly from the Records of Early English Drama, this article offers an answer based on a process of elimination. After ruling out all others, the article explains why a fragment of Leicester’s Men would perform at Newington for a short time before joining the Earl on his diplomatic campaign in Europe.
