 average receipts were £1 14s. 0d.; but the daily amounts fluctuated considerably, sometimes falling to a few shillings and again rising to twice the average on the production of a new or popular play or during the Easter or Whitsun holiday. Twenty-three plays in all were given, for any number of days from one to fifteen; the same play was rarely repeated in any one week. Five of the plays are marked in the diary with the letters ne, which are reasonably taken to indicate the production of a new piece. These were 'Harey the vj', probably Shakespeare's 1 Henry VI, ''Titus and Vespasian'', probably the play on which was based Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, the Second Part of ''Tamar Cham, The Tanner of Denmark, and A Knack to Know a Knave''. The eighteen old plays included Marlowe's Jew of Malta, Greene's Orlando Furioso and Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay, Greene and Lodge's A Looking Glass for London; also ''Muly Mollocco which might be Peele's Battle of Alcazar, Four Plays in One, which is conjectured to be a part of Tarlton's Seven Deadly Sins, and Jeronimo, which is almost certainly Kyd's Spanish Tragedy''. There was also a play, sometimes given on the day before this last, under the varying titles of ''Don Horatio, the Comedy of Jeronimo, or The Spanish Comedy'', which does not appear to have been preserved. The same fate has befallen the other ten plays, of which the names were Sir John Mandeville, Henry of Cornwall, ''Clorys and Orgasto, Pope Joan, Machiavel, Bindo and Richardo, Zenobia'', Constantine, Jerusalem, and Brandimer. From the financial point of view, the greatest successes were Titus and Vespasian, The Jew of Malta, 2 Tamar Cham, 1 Henry VI, and ''The Spanish Tragedy''. These averaged respectively for Henslowe £2 8s. 6d. for seven days, £2 3s. 6d. for ten days, £2 1s. 6d. for five days, £2 0s. 6d. for fifteen days, and £1 17s. 0d. for thirteen days. The Seven Deadly Sins and perhaps also the Looking Glass must have passed in some way into the hands of Strange's or the Admiral's, or into Henslowe's, from the Queen's.

The performances came to an end on 23 June, for on that day the Privy Council inhibited all plays until Michaelmas. Whether the Newington Butts episode and the watermen's petition followed or not, at any rate plague intervened in the course of the summer, and the company had to face the disadvantages of travelling. They were afoot by 13 July and still on 19 December. Ten days later, Henslowe resumed
