Stephen Gosson, in his anti-theatrical tract 'The School of Abuse,' notes that a very few players and plays may be absolved of his general charges against playhouses, but he identifies three theatres – the Bel Savage, the Bull, and the Theatre – which offer approved plays. The Bull offers two plays, 'The Jew' and 'Ptolemy', which offer sound moral precepts and neither wound the eye 'w[i]t[h] amorous gesture,' nor hurt chaste ears 'with slouenly talke.' At the Bel Savage, the spectator may see two prose books (as opposed to verse drama) performed, 'where you shall finde neuer a woorde, without witte, neuer a line without pith, neuer a letter place in vaine.' At the Theatre audiences will find moral instruction in the Turk play 'The Blacksmith's Daughter' and in Gosson's own 'Cataline's Conspiracies.'
