Edward Alleyn leases shares to finance the rebuilding of the Fortune to several members of the Palsgrave's Men and others. He divides the ownership of the playhouse and its grounds into twelve parts, and leases Charles Massey, an actor, a twelfth and twenty-fourth share in the playhouse. The lease provides a description of the Fortune playhouse and property, and identifies the remaining sharers in the property, as well as the size of their respective shares, as follows: Thomas Wigpitt (1/2), Anthony Jarman (1), Thomas Sparkes (1), William Gwalter (2), Richard Gunnell (1), Charles Massey (1 1/2), Richard Price (1/2), Adam Islipp (1), John Fisher (1/2), Edward Jackson (1), and Frances Juby, widow (1/2). The contract stipulates a term of fifty-one years, beginning 24 June 1622, at a rent of £5 6s 11d. Massey is to pay Jarman and Wigpitt a further £41 13s 4d toward the construction of the new playhouse. He is responsible for a proportionate amount of the repairs, and is bound not to alter the playhouse in any way, or to use it as anything other than a playhouse.
