Philip Henslowe was enterprising and ambitious, setting up the Bear Garden for bear baiting, and establishing the Rose, the Fortune, and the Hope theaters, among others. Throughout his dealings, Henslowe kept a diary about who he paid to perform, what productions were done, and even what props and costumes were used. Our guest this week, Dr. Amy Lidster, returns to the podcast for her second visit to tell us about Henslowe, his famous diary, and what we can learn from him about Shakespeare.
