Abstract
Roads have been largely invisible in the histories of the Elizabethan playhouses. A London-centric bias positions roads as a defining feature of the lives of travelling players but roads disappear from the narrative of the rise of purpose-built playhouses. This chapter seeks to consider the movements of players and audiences in decisions about where to locate the early playhouses, particularly given their location on roads leading to the fields on which mandated archery practice took place.
