Richard Gunnell
Richard Gunnell (fl. 1613 – 1634) was an actor, playwright, and theatre manager in Jacobean and Caroline era London. He is best remembered for his role in the founding of the Salisbury Court Theatre.
==Actor and playwright==
Nothing is known of Gunnell's early life or the first phase of his stage career. He acted with the Admiral's Men, then called the Palsgrave's Men, from 1613 to 1622. When the Palsgrave's Men received their renewed charter and their new name on 4 January 1613, Gunnell was already a sharer in the company. Despite the scantiness of the documentary record for the Palsgrave's troupe, Gunnell can be seen moving up into a managerial responsibility over his years with the company. In the 1613 charter he is listed twelfth of the fourteen sharers. On the company's 1618 lease of the Fortune Playhouse from owner Edward Alleyn, Gunnell is fourth of ten. And when the company leased the rebuilt Fortune in 1622, Gunnell is listed first.〔John Tucker Murray, ''English Dramatic Companies, 1558–1642,'' Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1910; pp. 212–15.〕
The fire that destroyed the Fortune on 9 December 1621 also wiped out the costumes and play manuscripts of the Palsgrave's Men. In the difficult period that followed, Gunnell appears to have left acting to concentrate of management. He also made a venture at writing plays. His comedy ''The Hungarian Lion'' appeared in 1623, and his ''The Way to Content All Women, or How a Man May Please His Wife'' followed in 1624.〔Joseph Quincy Adams, ''Shakespearean Playhouses'', Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1917; pp. 368–9.〕 Neither of his plays has survived.
