It was first staged on 31 October 1614 at the Hope Theatre by the Lady Elizabeth's Men company.[1] Written four years after The Alchemist, five after Epicœne, or the Silent Woman, and nine after Volpone, it is in some respects the most experimental of these plays.[2] Jonson's play uses this fair as the setting for an unusually detailed and diverse panorama of early seventeenth-century London life. As with many long-ignored plays, Bartholomew Fair returned to the stage in a production by the Phoenix Society—this one, in 1921 at the New Oxford Theatre. The play was performed in 2019 at the Sam Wannamaker Theatre (part of Shakespeare's Globe) in London.[8] Jonson, Ben. Bartholomew Fair.
