Before the 1500's there were no such thing

as a theatre in England! There were wandering minstrels who

travelled from one town and castle to the next, some street players who entertained people at markets and fairs. The troubadours, strolling players and minstrels were expected to memorize long poems and these recitals were included in their repertoire.

Слайд 6The Acting Troupes
Many of the wandering minstrels, or strolling

players, had the reputation as thieves. The spread and frequent

outbreaks of Black Death during the Elizabethan era resulted in regulations restricting all people who travelled around the country - licenses were required to travel. Licenses were granted to the nobles of England for the maintenance of troupes of players.

The Bell Savage Inn
