00:03:02 Good title.
00:03:04 A play takes time.
Find the actors, rehearsals.

00:03:18 Say two performances for safety.
How much is that, Mr. Frees ?

to the penny, Mr. Fennyman.
- Correct.
00:03:25 - But l have to pay
the actors and the author.
- Share of the profits.
00:03:28 - There's never any--
- Of course not.
00:03:30 Oh-- Oh, Mr. Fennyman, l think you
might have hit upon something.
00:05:22 l am a dead man,
and buggered to boot.
00:05:25 My theater is closed by the plague
these twelve weeks.
00:05:28 My actors are forced to tour
the inn yards of England...
00:05:31 while Mr. Burbage and the Chamberlain's
Men are invited to court...
00:05:34 and receive ten pounds
to play your piece,
00:18:06 - We'll need Ralph for the pirate king.
- Clear that bloody table !
00:18:11 None other than the Admiral's Men
are out on tour.
00:18:14 l need actors !
00:18:16 Those of you who are unknown
will have a chance to be known !
00:18:20 - What about the money, Mr. Henslowe ?
- lt won't cost you a penny !
00:32:20 l'll do it.
