According to Philip Stubbes, playhouses like the 'Theatres and curtaines' are 'Venus Pallaces' where audiences and actors 'betray Christ Jesus.' Stubbes invites his readers to 'marke the flocking and ru[n]ning to Theaters & Curtens, daylie and hourely, night and daye, tyme and tyde to see Playes and Enterludes,' where they will observe 'such wanton gestures, such bawdie speaches: such laughing and fleering: such kissing and bussing: such clipping and culling: Suche winkinge and glancinge of wanton eyes, and the like is used, as is wonderfull to behold.'
