Giles Allen sues the Burbages and their associates in Star Chamber over the Theatre lease and the overnight removal of the playhouse structure. Cuthbert and Richard Burbage, Peter Street and William Smythe collectively answer Allen's accusations, 28 April 1602. They reject Allen's charges and cite the previous court victories of Cuthbert Burbage and Peter Street, especially concerning the removal of the Theatre, as reasons why the case should be dismissed.
