	Richard Burbage
		At the time of his father's death, a lawsuit was in progress against the lessor from whom James Burbage held the land on which The Theatre stood.

		In this venture Richard Burbage had Shakespeare and others as his partners, and it was in one or the other of these houses that he gained his greatest triumphs, taking the lead part in almost every new play.
