'Curtain' was the name of a street before it was the name of the second theatrical structure in Shorditch (1577). The following have been culled from the registers to help test the hypothesis (probably incorrect) that the density of individuals connected to the London theater was higher here than elsewhere. More names will be added after Summer 2005 when the registers will be inspected in person. (In photographs, too much information remains hidden in the gutters.)
