 Records of the Court of King’s Bench show that it was an enclosed, walled construction, and was up and running before July 1567.The only play known to have been presented here was "The Story of Samson", after some corrections had been made to the structure, and there is little documentary evidence that the theatre survived beyond the summer season of 1567, although the lawsuit, from the little we know of it, dragged on until 1578.The venture was soon replaced by a more successful collaboration between Brayne and his brother-in-law, the actor-manager James Burbage (husband of Ellen Brayne), at Shoreditch, known as The Theatre.
