According to studies, the Elizabethan repertory companies performed six times a week, Monday through Saturday, with performances starting around 2:00 P.M. Being repertory companies, it would be rare to perform the same play twice in the same week. A study of the Rose Playhouse in 1695 shows 36 performances of 17 plays in a six week period from August 25th to October 4th. Of the 17 plays in the rotation, four were new. If each play was performed a more or less equal number of times, that would come to a little more than two performances per play, but the plays were not performed an equal number of times. Some were played only once; some three or more times in the six week period.
