Opis

In November, 1589, the company acting at the Blackfriars Theatre thought it would be advantageous to their interests to send in to the Privy Council a memorial, certifying that they had never given cause of displeasure by introducing upon the stage 'matters of State or Religion'. The actors who signed this memorial styled themselves 'Her Majesty's Poor Players', and among them appears the name of William Shakspere. We here meet the Poet's name for the first time after he had left his home at Stratford-on-Avon, about four years previously.
