Viewing Event Record: The playhouse where 'The Muses' Looking-Glass' is performed may be newly built

Abstract

Two characters functioning as puritanical commentators in Thomas Randolph's 'The Muses' Looking Glass' seem to refer obliquely to the playhouse in which they sit, which may or may not be Salisbury Court, as a one of the 'filthy Innes, enough to harbour such / As travell'd to destruction the broad way; / But they build more and more, more shops of Satan.' This may imply that the theatre is newly built.
