  Philip Henslowe (c.1550-1616)
Philip Henslowe was born in Lindfield, Sussex, around 1550, son of the master of the game in Ashdown Forest.
Henslowe employed and associated with the eras most famous actors and playwrights, including Jonson, Dekker, Middleton, and Webster, and many of the period's most important plays were first performed at his theatres.
Henslowe himself wrote, “Should these fellowes come out of my debt I should have no rule over them.” A company of players brought a suit of 'oppression' against Henslowe the year before his death, the outcome of which is not known.

Philip Henslowe, by trade a dyer, and an acute man of business interested in undertakings of various kinds, leased an estate in the Clink liberty, Southwark, in 1585, and, in 1587, was contemplating the building upon it of a playhouse, of which, if it was built at all, we hear nothing till some years later.
In his diary or book of accounts, which is one of the chief authorities for the dramatic history of the period, he is found in February, 1592, sharing the receipts of lord Strange’s men—nothing being said of the playhouse at which they were acting.
The Rose was built mainly of timber, lath and plaster, though entries in Henslowe’s accounts for bricks and bricklaying seem to imply a brick foundation for the wooden walls.

Records show that Henslowe, although suffering financially due to the competing playhouses (primarily the Globe), was ready to renew his lease under the original terms, but the parish from which he was renting insisted on renegotiating the contract, tripling his rent, and demanding 100 marks toward the upkeep of the parish.
Henslowe was livid and replied to the parish, exclaiming that he 'wold [r]ather pulledowne the playehowse then.

Philip Massinger ranks as one of the most scholarly and powerful dramatists of his day.

Philip Henslowe, a famous theatre manager of the time, left a diary from which we have learnt much about the organisation of theatre companies; the props they used; the plays performed and the playwrights who wrote for them; in addition to the construction of the theatre itself.
For example we know from Henslowe's diary that The Rose was built with a timber frame sat on brick foundations.
These remains revealed two phases of the theatre's construction, the original building in 1587 and a second phase of reconstruction which is also suggested in Philip Henslowe's diary when he speaks of "such charges as I have layd owt abowte my play howsse".
