 In John Harold Wilson’s All the King’s Ladies from 1958, Wilson presents synonym of “actress” as “prostitute” because financially depraved actresses difficulty in attracting audiences were expected to be available offstage to wealthy men, and out of eighty women who were known to have been actresses in London from 1660 to 1689, at least twelve according to Wilson’s research, left the stage to become mistresses or prostitutes.Even exclusively Catholic countries were “tolerant of the church-goers’ ordinary theatrical amusements and allowed the general population to patronize the theatre.In most of the countries, theatres were even allowed to be opened on Sunday evenings when the popular plays are put on the boards.
