Alas, no playbills survive from the Elizabethan era, but we do know these few facts: The right to print playbills was a monopoly, at one time held by William Jaggard, later printer of Shakespeare's First Folio. Playbills for tragedies were printed in red ink. Scholars believe that the playbills would name the play and the performing company, and probably the lead actor, but not the playwright.
