PUB CRAWLING WITH PLAYHOUSES
PROFESSOR LAURIE JOHNSON
What was the relationship between theatres and venues for the consumption of food and – especially – drink?
Philip Henslowe financed The Rose Playhouse under an agreement with John Cholmley to run a victualling house or taphouse on the same property, a fact that can be reconsidered as a logical product of a century or more of pubs being linked to playing venues of different types.
Join Professor Laurie Johnson of the University of Southern Queensland and current President of the Marlowe Society of America for an enjoyable ramble around the inns, taverns, and tap houses of early modern London, as he explores their role in the emergence of playhouse culture and theatrical entrepreneurship during the transition from medieval drama to professional playing in the Elizabethan era.
