Lord Strange's Men petition the Privy Council for permission to resume playing at 'our plaiehouse on the Banckside' -- ie, the Rose. They cite their own hardships in being forced to tour outside of London, and the financial trials of the Thames watermen in losing the revenue garnered in transporting audiences across the water. Part of the stipulation of the Rose's closure was that the Strange's Men be permitted to play three times at Newington Butts.
