In the early 1600s the following theatres were in operation: Newington Butts (1576), The Curtain (1577), The Rose (1587), The Swan (1595), The Globe (1599), The Fortune (1600), The Boar's Head (1600), The Red Bull (1604), The Hope (1614). These were all open-air theatres. Closed theatres included The Blackfriars (1596), The Cockpit (1616), and Salisbury Court (1629).
The performance of plays was banned in 1642 and continued to be so for 18 years. During this time the old playhouses disappeared. When dramatic performance was restored in 1660, two new theatres, Drury Lane and Dorset Gardens, were constructed. As there were only two legal companies of players, these were all the theatres they needed.
