Here's what the Admiral's Men performed at the Rose playhouse on this day, 424 years ago...

Today, as the festivities of Easter Week continue, the Admiral's Men have revived A Knack to Know an Honest Man, their comical moral romance set in Venice. You can read more about this play in the entry for 23rd October.

The holiday season has enabled a large crowd of Londoners to attend the Rose for this suitably moralistic tale.
