Viewing Event Record: Has the Hope's stage been around since Tarlton's time?

Abstract

A character in the induction to Ben Jonson's 'Bartholomew Fair' claims to have kept the stage since Tarlton's time. John Payne Collier offers this as evidence that the Hope was already in existence prior to 1588 (HEDP, vol 3, 321).
