March 25, 1576
Jerome Savage takes out a sub-lease to start the Newington Butts Theatre outside London.
Newington Butts Theatre
The Newington Butts Theatre was one of the earliest Elizabethan theatres, possibly predating even The Theatre of 1576 and the Curtain Theatre, which are usually regarded as the first playhouses built around London. William Ingram believes it was probably the first of the three to begin construction, and may have been the first completed.
