Performance records are patchy, but it is known that the King's Men performed seven of Shakespeare's plays at court between 1 November 1604 and 31 October 1605, including two performances of The Merchant of Venice. [12] In 1608 the King's Men (as the company was then known) took possession of the Blackfriars Theatre.
The earliest recorded performance of Measure for Measure took place on St. Stephen's night, 26 December 1604. During the Restoration, Measure was one of many Shakespeare plays adapted to the tastes of a new audience.

Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and his pseudo-historical Titus Andronicus were among the more successful and influential of Roman history plays. [98] [99] [100] [59] Among the less successful was Jonson's Sejanus His Fall, the 1604 performance of which at the Globe was "hissed off the stage". [101]
