Biography
In 1599, Burbage saw a Carrionite in the Globe Theatre. He was with Will Kempe at the time and they decided not to tell anyone so they would not be suspected of madness. (TV: The Shakespeare Code)
In late 1601, Burbage visited an inn and listened to Shakespeare's outline of the play Twelfth Night with the Fifth Doctor. (PROSE: Diary Extract)
After seeing Burbage in the debut performance of King Lear, the First Doctor considered him a good actor, if "rubbish at portraying old men crushed by the delicious uncertainties of life." (PROSE: Byzantium!)
Behind the scenes
- He was played by Martin Clunes in the film Shakespeare in Love and Paul Freeman in the miniseries Will Shakespeare.
