Viewing Event Record: Henslowe records performance receipts from the Rose

Abstract

In his memorandum book, Philip Henslowe records his share of the takings from play performances by the Admiral's Men and the Lord Pembroke's Men at the Rose playhouse. Plays include 'fryer spendleton', 'burbon' and 'docter fostes'. During this period Henslowe also changes the format of his account records, with some entries indicating dates and daily takings without reference to specific play titles.
