Viewing Event Record: 'The Escapes of Jupiter' is allowed to another company despite having belonged to the Cockpit company

Abstract

Henry Herbert notes that he received a fee of £1 for allowing an old play entitled 'The Escapes of Jupiter,' which formerly belonged to the company of the Cockpit, to a company made of of sharers who had left the Cockpit (probably the departed Prince Charles' Men). Herbert's reasons include that the players in question had 'payde their parts' and had been sharers in the Cockpit, and that the current Cockpit company (Lady Elizabeth's Men under Christopher Beeston) did not object. He also says that the play had been acted in 'the Kings house.'
