Originally an ensemble of third-rate street performers known as "Ye, the People," the Company was acquired in 1610 by a member of William Shakespeare's King's Men, in an off-stage poker game during an afternoon performance of The Winter's Tale at the Blackfriars Theatre.
Following a grueling fortnight of lengthy, yet amazingly still mostly unproductive rehearsal, they were soon lackadaisically traversing about the English Countryside, performing their original musical review O, So Marlowe!
While traveling through Yorkshire, they happened to come into possession of an advance draft of the recently completed King James Bible. There within its pages they found the Inspiration they had each long been searching for and, with a revived sense of purpose, unanimously committed themselves to a new and much improved theatrical vision: To bring this Good Newes to the highways and hedges of the whole wide wonderful world.
