The Privy Council decrees that only two playhouses shall be allowed in the city, one in Surrey and the other in Middlesex. It forbids the performance of plays in any common Inn, and orders that the companies of the two playhouses shall each play in their respective houses no more than twice a week. The companies will refrain from playing on the Sabbath, during Lent, or during times of plague.
