Henslowe's Rose: theatrical treasure from Dulwich College, 11 May - 29 June
The great actor Edward Alleyn used part of his theatrical fortune to build a school in 1619, known today as Dulwich College. His gift also included personal effects, manuscripts and the diary owned by his father-in-law, Philip Henslowe. The diary provides unique insights into the running of the Rose Playhouse. Some of the Henslowe/Alleyn treasures are displayed by kind permission of the Master.
