Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Curtain Theatre opened its doors in 1577 on Hewett Street within the Shoreditch district of London. This structure stood just south of The Theatre which had begun operations a year earlier in 1576.
Henry Lanman served as the proprietor of the playhouse and held the title of gentleman from 1585 until the venue closed after 1624. John Underwood owned a share in the Curtain and left it to heirs in 1624 while Thomas Pope also owned a share before his death in 1603.
The name Curtain derived from a nearby plot of land called Curtain Close that took its name from the proximity to the walls of Holywell Priory. A curtain wall is defined as a section of wall connecting two bastions and bears no relationship to the fabric front curtain used in modern theatres.
London theatres including the Curtain closed from September 1592 until April 1594 due to bubonic plague outbreaks. People petitioned local magistrates in 1597 demanding no plays take place at the venue and the Privy Council attempted to shut down the Curtain in 1600 without success.
Museum of London Archaeology announced the discovery of remains during trial excavations in 2012 and structural remains received Scheduled Monument designation in August 2019. Plans submitted in 2013 proposed a forty-storey tower with four hundred apartments plus a Shakespeare museum on the site.
