Synopsis
Excerpt from Old and New London, Vol. 3: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places; Illustrated With Numerous Engravings From the Most Authentic Sources; Westminster and the Western Suburbs
Of Killigrew it is recorded by Pepys that when a boy he would go to the 'red Bull,' and when the man cried to the boys, 'who will go to be a devil, and he shall see the play for nothing?' then would he go in, and be a devil on the stage, and so get to see plays. It may here be remarked by way of parenthesis that the Red Bull which stood at the end of St. John Street, Clerkenwell, was, according to tradition, the playhouse before which Shakespeare held gentlemen's horses.
Dr. Doran writes In December, 1661 there is a crowded house at the theatre in Lincoln 5 Inn Fields, to see young Mr. Betterton play the Dane's part in Ham/at, charming Mistress Saunderson acting 'ophelia.' Old ladies and gentlemen flock in crowds to witness it, and the streets are fairly blocked with the lumbering carriages; among the carriage folk being Mrs. Palmer, destined to become, next year, Countess of Castlemaine. It 's. Beyond imagination, whispers Mr. Pepys to his neighbour.
