Viewing Event Record: Salisbury Court is described as a 'little House.'

Abstract

In the epilogue to Thomas Nabbes' 'Tottenham Court,' performed at Salisbury Court in 1633, the Hostess speaks of the theatre metaphorically as her tavern: 'When others fill'd Roomes with neglect disdain ye, / My little House (with thanks) shall entertain ye.' This may refer to the physical size of the theatre.
