Richard III was performed in the inn yard.

Wouldn't Penrith people like to see Richard again, as large as life, played by a London actor who had performed before Queen Elizabeth, supported by a full London company with drums, trumpets, and everything proper, regardless of expense.' Admission one penny; stools to sit on, a penny extra. Starting now, in the inn yard.

By now the inn yard was fairly crowded, and there were people filling the upper galleries all round, which led to the bedrooms. The players had rigged up a platform on trestles at one end of the yard, and we all moved round, some of us with our stools, but most of the people standing.
