Francis Langley : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis Langley
Francis Langley (1548–1602) was a theatre builder and theatrical producer in Elizabethan era London.〔William Ingram, ''A London Life in the Brazen Age: Francis Langley, 1548–1602'', Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press, 1978.〕 After James Burbage and Philip Henslowe, Langley was the third significant entrepreneurial figure active at the height of the development of English Renaissance theatre.〔F. E. Halliday ''A Shakespeare Companion 1564–1964.'' Baltimore, Penguin, 1964; p. 273.〕〔Andrew Gurr, ''The Shakespearean Stage 1574–1642,'' Third edition, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1992; pp. 42–5 and ff.〕 ==Background== Langley was a goldsmith by profession, and also held the office of "Alnager and Searcher of Cloth" – he was an official quality inspector of fabric. His brother-in-law was a clerk for the Privy Council; Langley had been appointed to his Alnager's post through a recommendation from Sir Francis Walsingham. Langley became involved in theatre in the mid-1590s, and operated much as Henslowe did,〔E. K. Chambers, ''The Elizabethan Stage,'' 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923; Vol. 1, p. 368 n. 3.〕 contracting individual actors and troupes to work exclusively for him, and serving as their reliable creditor. Langley, however, did not leave the relatively abundant documentary record that Henslowe did; his affairs are much more mysterious and difficult to untangle.
