New Article on the Curtain Playhouse Published
MoEML is happy to announce the publication of a new
encyclopedia entry on the Curtain, authored
collaboratively by Dr. Kate McPherson’s English 438R class at Utah Valley
University via the MoEML
Pedagogical Partnership.
London’s second purpose-built playhouse, the Curtain was the venue for a number of early modern
playing companies, such as the Lord
Chamberlain’s Men and Worcester’s
Men. Did you know that
the earliest documented play performed at the theatre was Ben Jonson’s Every Man in his Humor in 1598, with William Shakespeare in the cast? Or that it is most likely the Curtain that was meant by
this wooden Oin Henry V (Shakespeare TLN 14)?
MoEML would like to thank Dr. Kate
McPherson and her entire class for their fantastic article!

The Curtain
In 1577, the Curtain, a second purpose-built London playhouse arose in Shoreditch, just north of the City of London. The Curtain, a polygonal amphitheatre, became a major venue for theatrical and other entertainments until at least 1622 and perhaps as late as 1698. Most major playing companies, including the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, the Queen’s Men, and Prince Charles’s Men, played there. It is the likely site for the premiere of Shakespeare’s plays Romeo and Juliet and Henry V.The Curtain is mentioned in the following documents:

The King’s Men
The King’s Men was a playing company in early modern London. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the group had been known as The Lord Chamberlain’s Men after its then patron, Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon. It was re-named in 1603 when King James I took over as patron soon after acceding to the throne. It is famous for being the company to which William Shakespeare belonged for most of his career.This organization is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Queen Anne’s Men
Queen Anne’s Men was a playing company in early modern London. The group was formed in 1603 out of Worcester’s Company (1562-1603) and named after its patron, Anne of Denmark, consort of King James I. When she died in 1619, the company continued as The Players of the Revels, but were often simply called the Red Bull Company (1619-25).This organization is mentioned in the following documents:
