1562-1580
Ambrose Dudley, earl of Warwick (1561-1590) and brother of Robert Dudley (earl of Leicester), was patron of a playing company in 1559-64, and again in 1572-5. Both configurations were active in the provinces, and both appeared at court.
The earlier of the companies was formed before Ambrose received the earldom. Under the name of Lord Dudley's players, the company performed at Gloucester, Bristol, Norwich, Cambridge, and Bridgwater ([REED PP), as well as Canterbury (MSC VII. 13) and Winchester (Murray I.289). As the Earl of Warwick's players, the company performed at Oxford (8 June 1562), Lydd, Exeter, Plymouth, and Grimsthorpe (REED PP); their venues were usually guild or common halls, but at Grimsthorpe they performed the hall at Grimsthorpe Castle (1562). Stops along the southeastern circuit included Dover and Lydd in addition to Canterbury (MSC VII. 43, 107, 13). The company gave two performances at court during Christmas, 1564-5.
The later company had a much lighter touring schedule, 1572-5. It performed at Tavistock (Devon) and Coventry; its venue at Tavistock was St. Eustachius' Church (REED PP). It also visited Leicester in 1574-5 and Lichfield on 27 July 1575 (Murray I.290). In comparison with the earlier company, this one appeared frequently at court: 14 Feb 1574-5; 26 Dec, 1 Jan, and 6 March, 1575-6; 26 Dec and 18 Feb, 1576-7; 28 Dec, 6 Jan, and 9 Feb, 1577-8; 26 Dec and 1 March, 1578-9; and 1 Jan 1580 (Chambers IV. 91-97). Furthermore, the Revels Accounts name five of their plays, all now lost: The Painter's Daughter, The Irish Knight, The Three Sisters of Mantua, The Knight in the Burning Rock, and A History of the Four Sons of Fabius. In 1575-6 the payees for the company at court were John Dutton, his brother Laurence Dutton, and Jerome Savage. Their stories with the company include the playhouse at Newington.
