A 'cutpurse' was a term used in the past to describe a thief who would stealthily cut the purses or wallets from people's clothing, often in crowded places like theaters. At the theater, cutpurses would take advantage of the bustling environment to steal from unsuspecting patrons. If caught, they could face severe punishment, including public humiliation, imprisonment, or even harsher penalties, as theft was taken seriously in that era. The presence of such criminals added an element of danger and excitement to the theatrical experience.
