Daily at two in the afternoon London has two, sometimes three plays running at different places, competing with each other. . . . The plays are so constructed that they play on a raised platform, so that everyone has a good view. There are different galleries and places, however, where the seating is better and more comfortable and therefore more expensive. For whoever cares to stand below pays one English penny, but if he wishes to sit he enters by another door, and pays another penny, while if he desires to sit in the more comfortable seats which are cushioned, where he not only sees everything well, but can also be seen, then he pays yet another English penny at another door. And during the performance food and drink are carried round the audience, so that for what one cares to pay one may also have refreshment.
