Info
The Boar's Head Theatre was an inn-yard theatre in the Whitechapel area of London from 1598 to around 1616.
It was based in the yard of the Boar's Head Inn. During its lifetime as a playhouse, it was home to the Earl of Derby's Men (summer 1599-summer 1601, summer 1602-March 1603), the Earl of Worcester's Men (summer 1601-summer 1602, April 1604–1605 or 1606), and Prince Charles' Men (summer 1609-March 1616); the historian Herbert Berry suggests that many other unidentified companies may have played there, as well.
