25. Did the Queen
ever attend plays at any of the London Theatres such as Shakespeare's Globe
Theatre?
No, as far as we
know, she never attended any of the London Theatres. It would have been
too dangerous, not only because of the danger of assassination, but because
of disease. The Queen had her own company of actors called The Queen's
Men and these performed plays at court.
Robert Dudley also
had his own company of actors and these came to the palaces to perform
aswell. The Master of the Revels was in charge of all courtly
entertainment.
