Robert Browne (Elizabethan actor)
Robert Browne (died October 1603) was an English actor of the Elizabethan era, and the owner and manager of the Boar's Head Theatre. He was also part of an enduring confusion in the study of English Renaissance theatre.
==Two Robert Brownes==
The relevant documents of English Renaissance drama contain numerous references to "Robert Browne." Early twentieth-century scholars, like E. K. Chambers〔E. K. Chambers, ''The Elizabethan Stage'', 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923; Vol. 2, p. 304.〕 and Edwin Nunzeger,〔Edwin Nunzeger, ''A Dictionary of Actors and of Others Associated with the Representation of Plays in England Before 1642'', New Haven, Yale University Press, 1929; pp. 60-3.〕 assumed that these records referred to a single individual. Later scholars, principally Charles Jasper Sissons〔C. J. Sisson, "Mr. and Mrs. Brown of the Boar's Head," ''Life and Letters Today'', Vol. 15 No. 6 (Winter 1936), pp. 99-107.〕〔C. J. Sisson, ''The Boar's Head Theatre: An Inn-yard Theatre of the Elizabethan Age'', Stanley Wells, ed., London, Routledge, 1972.〕 and Herbert Berry,〔Herbert Berry, ''The Boar's Head Playhouse'', Washington DC, Folger Books, 1986.〕 argued persuasively that two separate individuals had been confused and conflated into one. Or two at least: "There were obviously at least two and could easily have been three or more Robert Brownes who had to do with the companies and playhouses of the time."〔Berry, p. 197.〕
To distinguish between two Robert Brownes, the earliest years of the seventeenth century are key. One Robert Browne was busy running the Boar's Head Theatre in 1601 through 1603; another Robert Browne was performing with English actors in Germany between 1601 and 1607. The Boar's Head Browne died in 1603, and so can reasonably be termed an Elizabethan actor. The career of the "other" Robert Browne extended through the first two decades of the seventeenth century; he can sensibly be called a Jacobean actor.
