Today, the Admiral's Men revived Chinon of England, their lost Arthurian drama about a fool who becomes a knight. You can read more about this play in the entry for 3 January.
The company has quickly returned to Chinon only a week after its very successful opening of the company's new season.But today's performance has drawn a much smaller crowd, with the Rose only half full.
