Theatrical Provenance

Sussex's men (frequently designated as the Chamberlain's men in the years from 1572-83) toured the provinces throughout the 1570s; thus it is highly likely that their court repertory in these years also were taken on tour. Also, of course, these plays would have been given at the company's public venues in the London area.
