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.
