Sir Richard Flecknoe records his wanderings in 1652 through a shabby and deserted London. The Blackfriars is deserted: 'never a Play-bil on the Gate, no Coaches on the place, nor Doorkeeper at the Play-house door.' He pens an epilogue to all the plays performed there: 'so many of Shakspear's Plays. / So many of Johnsons, Beaumonts, & Fletchers.'
