[edit] Events

• The London theatres remain closed for almost the entire year, due to the outbreak of bubonic plague that began the previous year. In the summer, Edward Alleyn and other actors tour the towns and countryside beyond the city. Since plague tends to abate in winter, some performances take place then; Lord Strange's Men act a play called Titus — perhaps Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus — three times in January.
