Abstract
Why did severalinns within the City of London continue to function as theaters up to 1600 when there were, by 1587, at least four purpose-built theaters available to players in the nearby suburbs? Examining official attempts to regulate playing within the City as well as the economics of playing, Lawrence Manley argues in this essay that city inns were used for their greater convenience during wintertime, when early darkness and inclement weather hindered performance at the suburban theaters.
