Theatrical Provenance

Bellendon appears in Henslowe's diary first on 8 June 1594 in the list of plays offered by the Admiral's Men and Chamberlain's Men playing at the playhouse in Newington. It next appears as the initial offering in the playlists beginning 15 June 1594, a date that marks the return of the Admiral's Men to the Rose playhouse (according to W. W. Greg and accepted universally by subsequent scholars). It receives 16 performances in that run. In 1596 it appears for a solo showing on 11 July. Beginning in March 1596/7 it appears into June for a run of 7 performances. There is a note in the margin at the initial March performance of the play, as follows: "begynyng in leant marche 1597." Marginal notes also mark the appropriate change of months in 1597 to April, May, and June. One of the properties for Bellendon, "Belendon stable," is listed in the 1598 inventory transcribed by Edmond Malone. These papers were loaned to Malone by the librarians at Dulwich College, and the originals were subsequently lost.
