Cockpit Theatre

These plans, originally thought to be drawn by Inigo Jones , but now attributed to his protege John Webb, may be for the Cockpit Theatre. The drawings were originally believed to be the Blackfriars theatre.

The Cockpit was a theatre in London, operating from 1616 to around 1665. It was the first theatre to be located near Drury Lane. After damage in 1617, it was named The Phoenix.
