Excerpt from A Study in "Much Ado About Nothing", Vol. 3: The Puritan Opposition to the Theatre
Players attached to. Houses of the nobility being more or less protected from the annoyances and assaults to which the public actors were subjected, became so numerous that in 1572 it was necessary to pass a statute for their regulation and control. This was 14 Eliz., C. 5, which directed that unless they had a license of two justices of the peace at the least they were to be treated as rogues and vagabonds. In 1574 the Loid Mayor of London procured the passage of by laws by the Common Council to regulate the perfoxmance of plays in the city. The Privy Council wrote to the Lord Mayor demanding the reason for this, so they could give answer to those players desiring to act there. Harassed by the Lord Mayor and the Common Council in the city of London, and by the Justices of the Peace in the counties, the players now ap pealed directly to the Queen. Elizabeth had absolutely no sympathy with the Puritan efiorts to suppress the theatre. She enjoyed the drama. She listened favorably to this pe tition of the players. On the 7th of May, 1574, she granted the first royal patent to performers of plays - to servants of the Earl of Leicester. It empowered the five persons named To use, exercise and occupie the art and faculty of playing Com edies, Tragedies, Enterludes, Stage-playes for the recreation of the Queen and her subjects, in the city of London, and in any cities and towns throughout England.
