Today, the Admiral's Men revived their enigmatic lost play The Seven Days of the Week, about which we know nothing beyond its title. Perhaps it was an anthology of seven short plays, or perhaps it was about the creation of the world. You can read more about it in the entry for 3rd June, 1595.

This week has been quite a rollercoaster ride, with very large Christmas season audiences being followed by embarrassingly small ones. Today's performance is the latter; we're halfway through the the twelve days of Christmas and playgoers are barely to be seen.

The players have waited a fortnight to return The Seven Days of the Week, one of the few plays they are still regularly performing. Its box office today is dreadful. These are lean times for the Admiral's Men. 

What's next?

There will be no blog entry tomorrow because 12 December was a Sunday in 1596 and the players did not perform. Henslowe's Diary ... as a Blog! will thus return on the 13th for a week in which the Admiral's Men will retry some of their new plays.

15 November, 1596 - The Seven Days of the Week and a mysterious hiatus

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

Henslowe writes: y^e 15 of novmbȝ  1596 ... R at the vij dayes ... xij^s    

In modern English: 15^th November, 1596 ... Received at The Seven Days ... 12 shillings

Today, the Admiral's Men revived their enigmatic lost play The Seven Days of the Week, about which we know nothing beyond its title. Perhaps it was an anthology of seven short plays, or perhaps it was about the creation of the world. You can read more about it in the entry for 3rd June.

the week with a portrait of the deity associated with it.

The players have rushed The Seven Days of the Week back to the stage after its successful revival a few days ago. But this seems to be to soon, as only a tiny audience has arrived to see it again. 

A mysterious hiatus

There will be no blog entries for the next ten days, as Henslowe records no performances between the 16th and 24th November. We do not know the reasons for this hiatus, although it is interesting to see that when the players return, they will introduce several new plays to the repertory. Perhaps they have realized that their plays are getting stale, and have decided to take the risk of shutting things down in order to focus on line-learning and other preparations.

Whatever the reasons, Henslowe's Diary ... as a Blog! will return on the 25th - see you then!

11 November, 1596 - The Seven Days of the Week

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

Henslowe writes: y^e 11 of novmbȝ  1596 ... R at the vij dayes ... xxxv^s    

In modern English: 11^th November, 1596 ... Received at The Seven Days ... 35 shillings

Today, the Admiral's Men revived their enigmatic lost play The Seven Days of the Week. We know nothing about this play beyond its title; perhaps it was an anthology of seven short plays, or perhaps it was about the creation of the world. You can read more about it in the entry for 3rd June, 1595

This is a surprise return for The Seven Days of the Week, which has not been seen at the Rose for almost a year. The play, which used to be one of the company's most frequently performed, had gradually faded in popularity by December last year and was replaced it with a sequel which did not do as well. The company is now reviving the original again, in the hopes that Londoners may have been missing it. 

today's box office is quite good compared to what we have seen in the last few days; The Seven Days of the Week may still have the ability to draw a crowd.

26 February, 1596 - The Seven Days of the Week

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

Henslowe writes: y^e 25 of febreary 1595 ... R at wecke ... xx^s 

In modern English: [26^th] February, [1596] ... Received at Week ... 20 shillings

Today, the Admiral's Men revived a play that Henslowe lists simply as Week. It's not clear whether this play is the original Seven Days of the Week, which you can read about in the entry for 3 June, 1595, or whether it is The Second Week, an apparent sequel that you can read about in the entry for 23 January.

Whether it was the original or the sequel, the company has waited a month to attempt restaging a Week play, and the box office remains low.

27 January, 1596 - The Second Week

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

Today, the Admiral's Men revived The Second Week, which appears to be a sequel to the popular Seven Days of the Week. You can read more about this play in the entry for 23 January.

The company has rushed their sequel back onto the stage after only a few days, but the box office is disappointing, being below the average for the Rose. It seems the sequel will not be as popular as the original.

23 January, 1596 - The Second Week

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

Henslowe writes: y^e 22 of Jenewary 1595 ... ne ... R at the 2 wecke ... iij^ll 

In modern English: [23^rd] January, [1596] ... New ... Received at The Second Week ... £3

Today, the Admiral's Men performed a new play! Although it is lost, this play appears to be a sequel to The Seven Days of the Week, a play that had been extremely successful following its debut in June 1595 and which continues to be a part of the company's repertory.

Unfortunately, since the original play is also lost, it is hard to know what the sequel was about. One theory is that the first play was series of seven short playlets, so The Second Week may have been more of the same. Alternatively, the first play might have been about the creation of the world, in which case this one could have been a later story from Genesis.

The subject matter may be a mystery, but the sequel has attracted a large crowd, almost filling the Rose.

1 January, 1596 - The Seven Days of the Week and Richmond Palace

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

Henslowe writes: y^e 1 of Jenewary 1595 ... R at the wecke ... xxxxij^s    

In modern English: 1^st January, [1596] ... Received at The Week ... 42 shillings

Welcome to the first day of another year at the Rose! You may have noticed that Henslowe is still calling it 1595; that's because he's using the old style of dating in which the year begins on 25th March. But the Elizabethans still thought of today as New Year's Day and for them there are still six more days of the Christmas holidays left.

For their first play of 1596, the Admiral's Men have revived their enigmatic lost play The Seven Days of the Week, about which we know nothing beyond its title. Perhaps it was an anthology of seven short plays, or perhaps it was about the creation of the world. You can read more about it in the entry for 3rd June. The Seven Days of the Week was once a very popular play but has declined of late. Today, however, on a festive holiday, it has received a large crowd again, recapturing its former glory.

Beyond Henslowe's Diary, there is also a record of the Admiral's Men performing a play to the Queen at Richmond Palace, a long way down the Thames. If the dates are accurate, this was a busy day for the players!

What's next?

There will be no blog entry tomorrow as 16th November was a Sunday in 1595 and the players did not perform. Neither will there be one on the 17th, as Henslowe records no performance, for unknown reasons. Henslowe's Diary ... as a Blog! will thus return on the 18th. See you then!

Against all logic, the company, faced with disappointing box office for the normally popular Seven Days of the Week, have decided to restage it after only three days. Rather predictably, this has resulted only in similar takings. It seems as though this mysterious play requires a much longer rest to restore the public's appetite.

What's next?

There will be no blog entry tomorrow, as 19th October was a Sunday in 1595 and the players did not perform. Henslowe's Diary ... as a Blog! will thus return on the 20th. See you then!

After two disappointing days following their return to the Rose, we finally see some enthusiasm from London's theatregoers! The Seven Days of the Week had debuted shortly before the closure of the Rose in June and had been an instant hit. It continues its success today by drawing an impressive audience. The actors must be relieved to find that they still have their mojo.
