His father, a coachmaker also named John Webster, married a flsmith's daughter named Elizabeth Coates on November 4, 1577, and it is likely that Webster was born not long after in or near London.
On August 1, 1598, "John Webster, lately of the New Inn" was admitted to the Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court; in view of the legal interests evident in his dramatic work, this is probably him.
The White Devil was performed in the Red Bull Theatre, an open air theatre that is believed to have specialized in providing simple, escapist drama for a largely working class audience, a factor that might explain why Webster's highly intellectual and complex play was unpopular with its audience.
