To production of Charley's Aunt, by Brandon Thomas, Prince of Wales Theatre, London, started 18th January 1926: “About 350 years ago, when the first London Theatre was being built, there was a strong prejudice amongst the City authorities that a number of people gathered together in one building were likely to spread disease. As a consequence the Theatre was built outside the City boundaries. James Burbage, who held a licence from Queen Elizabeth, discovered a suitable piece of ground in Shoreditch, which was beyond the City boundaries. he paid £14 a year ground rent, and spent £700 on the building. When, however, it was finished, a number of disputes arose in connection with the lease, and in a few years it was pulled down.
